Trip to Melbourne planned, where to find good pizza?

[dylandylan]

Hi all,

I'm planning a short work & play trip to Melbourne in a month or so.  I'll be aiming to sample the best pizza I can find.  I'm after neapolitanesque pizza. I've done the obligitory googling, and going on reviews and pictures have come up with the following places I'd like to try:

• LaSvolta
• 400 Gradi
• Scoozi
• Firechief

Probably not-coincidentally, when I was coming up with this list I discovered that 3 of the 4 above are AVPN accredited, and the other is applying to be.

The following are the "also rans" that I don't think I'll bother with - mostly because I've managed to find pictures of pizza from these places that gave me some doubt.

• Plus 39 Pizzeria
• Woodfire Cafe Pizzeria
• Marcadante
• Ladro
• D.O.C
• Pizza Farri
• Fratellino

Any locals able to give me a steer?  What have I missed?  Am I way off the mark?

Many thanks,
Dylan

I know 400 gradi is very good, the owner (Johnny) is a great researcher of neapolitan pizza, they changed the oven to a SF, so the pizzas must be even better.

thanks, that's an encouraging sign for sure.  Looking forward to getting over there.

Any advances on my list?    I'm waiting to board now... really looking forward to pizza that blows me away, hope I find some starting tomorrow.

that app looks like a sound investment!   we've arrived in Melbourne and friends have turned us onto a few good places that I hadn't found on Google.  Haven't figured out if I'll be "that guy" taking photos of every pizza I eat... might happen!
