Gourmet Pizza Wood Fired
Pizza is unarguably a versatile dish. You can have it as a snack or for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But not all pizzas are made the same, as there are pizzas that taste better. For pizza purists, wood-fired pizza is still the best among many variants. No one could resist a perfect combination of flavours. How it looks and smells straight from the oven will already set you drooling. How much more if you get a slice of this Italian masterpiece?
Traditional Pizza Wood Fired
We make sure to provide our customers with a choice. Aside from gourmet pizza, Cucina Dolce also serves wood-fired traditional pizza. Whether you are a fan of gourmet pizza or not, you will always have an option from our lunch menu. Although our gourmet and traditional pizza are not prepared with the same techniques, both of them are as delightful as the other.
You will only get the best wood-fired pizzas at Cucina Dolce in Melbourne. Our lunch menu serves different kinds of wood-fired gourmet pizza and traditional wood-fired Italian pizza. And we only cook with top-tier ingredients to ensure the best quality of our food. If you fancy a slice or more of delicious wood-fired pizza, stay in check with Cucina Dolce’s special lunch menu.
