great pizza place hidden away in the back of Coburg. Convenient for us, welcoming service and atmosphere. Prices, as mentioned, are a bit higher than others but you get what you pay for, quality ingredients and care taken to make a great pizza. Nice after dinner options too like coffee and chai and hot chocolate and desserts. I don't think we will eat here often due to the cost but as a treat it is great.

This restaurant has been already summed up fairly well by previous members.

TerraNova make a great pizza and use high quality ingredients which make them that way.

I have been a great number of times and they always impress. There is a lot of crap out there people. For example.. what Porchettas has become, what 3/4 of lygon street has become and other.
If you want a really good woodfired pizza that doesnt compromise on their ingredients/taste and service. Give them a go. ~$14 a pizza I would say is about right for the quality you are getting. If you want an $8 pizza, call dominos and detox later.

Approximate cost: $15

A great little restaurant - hidden gem in suburban madness. Great pizzas, amazingly chocolately mousse and decent wines. Service was not too imposing and very friendly. Loved it!

Approximate cost: $17

Imagine the paired joy and despair when I saw that a pizza restaurant was opening across the road from my house? Especially the day I watched them assemble the beautiful wood-fired pizza oven in the cosy kitchen. Would I ever fix myself a salad again?
Well, duh. Of course. Man cannot live by pizza alone.
But once Terranova opened, I was really pleased. The pizzas are exceptional. My pet hates with pizza are a base that is oily (yuck) or greasy (even yuckier). Terranova's bases are always thin (but not too thin) and crispy, with that lovely, slightly smoky taste that can only be achieved by baking pizzas in a good wood-fired oven. They are not piled high with toppings - they are modest and well put together. My partner says the meat is always excellent quality (I don't eat meat, but the anchovies and prawns I have had there are great). They also go a little easier on the cheese than most, something I appreciate - again, because so many pizzas these days are dripping with cheese and grease. These are really lovely.
Entrees include lovely antipasto platters (try the stuffed peppers). Desserts change a little and always include some lovely fresh gelatos (hmm, mandarin...). There is usually a pasta of some kind on the specials board, but I have never tried one - this really is a pizza restaurant. Walking past, of an evening, the smells will make your mouth water.
Terranova is fully licensed, with very reasonable prices and some perfectly respectable beers and wines, and BYO wine is allowed. Bookings are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, as the restaurant itself is small, although as most people don't linger too long, small groups and couples don't tend to wait long. Takeaway is the norm (no deliveries).
Pizzas range from $14 - $20, making them a little more expensive than the average takeaway, but well worth it. And as it is a family business, the service can always be counted on to be friendly. Doesn't take long before they will know you as a regular!
