I Carusi

Oh I want to flesh out some positives… the price perhaps, but as a pizza lover this was a huge disappointment for me. The base tasted and looked like it was stretched weellll ahead of time laid to rest on a buttered pan until cooking time. The dough didn’t have flavour or interesting texture and it went quite soggy before I could finish it. Large pizzas apparently also cut into just 4 slices? The mozzarella was good but a mouthful. In between these I tasted buttered leek. I had planned on getting dessert but main persuaded me not too. I feel bad giving 1 star, the service really tried to be nice, but for the food…

Went here for a date night and had a really nice time. Good food, great service (the two waitresses were so lovely), lots of families and a great local restaurant to support. Could use some wine glasses but byo is great and a little smokey inside from the pizza oven but overall very cosy and a great experience so will be back

What an amazing place. I really felt like I was in a family pizzeria in Naples. There are others that claim to be the best pizza in Melbourne but they don't even come close when compared to these guys. Started with olives, great Italian wine, made by their family in Abruzzo, and silky garlic focaccia. Then amazing pizza. Finished with rich and satisfying pizzetta. My wife had the tiramisu and couldn't keep the smile of her face. So full. What a great night and such value for money. We will be back again and again.
