Bocconcino's Woodfired Pizzeria

Bocconcino’s Woodfired Pizzeria has been a Parkdale favourite since 2013, a family-run spot where guests are welcomed like part of the household. There's a comforting, homely feel from the moment you walk in, where regulars are known by name and first-time visitors are treated just the same.

Authentic Italian pizzas take centre stage, with hand-stretched bases and generous toppings cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven. Classics like the margherita, meat lovers, and frutti di mare keep things familiar, while a few creative options add variety.

The pasta selection brings just as much heart to the table. Enjoy favourites like bolognese made with house made napoli sauce or matriciana that packs a bit of heat, alongside speciality dishes such as the Mediterranean with grilled eggplant and zucchini in a special pink sauce, and the salmon mascarpone with smoked salmon, mushroom and spinach in a creamy base.

With walls lined with photos celebrating the Hawthorn Football Club and an atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming, Bocconcino’s is the kind of neighbourhood pizzeria that keeps people coming back for more.
