Romo Pizza Bar

Down an arched laneway in Melbourne’s CBD sits Romo Pizza Bar—a high-energy Italian joint pulling phenomenal, hand-crafted Neapolitan pies. The word on the street? You absolutely need a reservation. Those lucky enough to snag a table are obsessed with the beautifully blistered cornicione—fluffy, chewy, and carrying vibrant toppings like silky mortadella and creamy stracciatella. Beyond the dough, pasta purists flock here for the house-made plates—think a deeply rich agnello ragù and a fiercely authentic, cream-free carbonara. Do not skip the pane garlic bread—a glorious, oil-soaked masterpiece—and leave room for a textbook tiramisu. Intimate, a little loud, and unapologetically delicious.
