    Joanne's is our favourite place for great pizza and a glass of wine, any night of the week. Luckily it's within walking distance, so sometimes it's two glasses of wine. Try the Joanne's Special, pizza just like I had when I was a kid.

    This is by far my favourite pizza spot in Melbourne. The pizza has the perfect chewy base and the toppings are always generous and full of flavor. We always choose to sit outside as Rathdowne Village is away from the busy roads and has a quiet, relaxed vibe. The staff are incredibly warm and accommodating and brought some water out for my dog. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for quality pizza in a cozy setting.
