Zeffirelli Pizza Restaurant

Editorial Review

Editorial Review

Walk alongWoolley Street in Dickson and you will be overwhelmed by the abundance of Asian restaurants available. Australia may not have a shortage of Italian eateries, but among this crowd Zeffirelli is a stand out. Located right on the corner, the outside eating area takes up a substantial patch of the pavement and is great for dining with friends in the warmer months when you can soak up the lively outdoor atmosphere and delicious weather.

The menu offers an extensive selection of old Italian favourites along with more modern ‘gourmet pizza’ options. We advise you to heed the chef’s suggestions if you want to sample the best dishes available. Try the well executed spinach and ricotta cannelloni which is made fresh on the premises or the gourmet roasted pumpkin pizza (oven-roasted pumpkin pieces, roasted capsicum and mozzarella cheese on a napoletana and basil pesto sauce and finished with shredded coconut). There are over 50 dishes to choose from including salad, steak, seafood, chicken and veal and the many pizza and pasta options. Established by the Pelle family in 1998, Zeffirelli has become a bit of a pioneer in the takeaway food industry by offering online ordering and ‘TEXTAPIZZA’ (an SMS ordering service).
