Preston

About the restaurant

TAKEAWAY PIZZA is your local.

Located at 535 High Street, Preston Takeaway Pizza doesn't just specialise in New York style thin pizza for a hungry local takeaway trade. We also have a fully stocked bar with huge TIKI party vibes and some crazy good drinks.

It's a low key, any day, any occasion kind of joint.
Inside think tropical wallpaper, a disco ball, bar seats for walk ins and tables for bookings! On the deck it's all about Pina Colada's in the sun. It is Melbourne, however, so naturally we have heaters and a retractable roof.

Pizza, Booze & Good vibes only.

There is Sushi train and then there is the Buddha! The rest of the menu is glorious and the staff are wonderful. The ambiance and view to the Art Centre is worth it without the delectable food and staff.

Excellent customer service. Two of the three dishes we ordered were great but the Greek style chips were nothing and had no flavour. Great ambience

Melbourne CBD

About the restaurant

La Madonna - a Good Food Guide listed day to night dining and drinking enclave dedicated to spontaneous menus, a celebration of local produce and the spirit of sustainability. Acclaimed Melbourne chef, Paul Turner playfully riffs on cuisines and technique all delivered with a creative, relaxed finesse.

Enjoy menu highlights such as Wagyu bresaola with romesco, pickled zuchinni and togarashi, pan-fried gnocchi with kimchi, broccoli and fresh curds and a signature dry aged duck dish…. with a barrel aged cocktail or wine at hand.

Or perhaps wind down after a busy day at La Madonna Bar. With plenty of comfortable couches and dimly lit corners to enjoy a cocktail, or two and a selection of snacks. Sink into a seat surrounded by wooden barrels and glass bottles ageing various cocktails, tinctures and spirits.

This place doesn’t disappoint. Simple yet delicious menu, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered the beetroot and burrata salad, rigatoni bolognaise and gnocchi napoletana; and to finish off we tried the pear and caramel ice cream. Just delicious!
