I had a great time at pizzeria di cuore! We ordered a margarita pizza, it was so good! The pizza dough was fresh, pizza was extremely hot, and everything is made in house. The pizza was a classic Italian pizza, definitely a favourite and I will be back for more!

The staff were also very friendly and make sure we were well taken care of!

Absolutely loved the pizzas here โ€” seriously some of the best Iโ€™ve had in a long time. The dough was perfect, crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the toppings were fresh and full of flavour. Every bite was a winner. The service was spot-on too โ€” friendly, quick, and super welcoming without being overbearing.

The only thing that could take this place to the next level is the drinks list. Being in trendy Collingwood you kind of expect a stronger beer and wine selection. A couple of local craft beers on tap and a few more Australian wines would really round out the experience. That said, the food more than made up for it. Canโ€™t wait to come back.

It’s not often i give 5 stars after a first visit, but food aside, the service and attention by the waiters was the best I’ve seen. They paid attention and saw our menus down which meant we were ready to order, instead of having to wait and wait. Water came out at good time after being seated. Two waiters, one after the other, noticed my husband had his food but not me, and promptly went inside to investigate. It’s small things like this which really elevate a dining experience, so please keep it up guys.

The inside was spacious with many people able to dine. It was a full house, so be sure to make a reservation. Few tables out front, which is where my husband and i sat. It was perfect for the warm evening. It sounded like there was an outside area out back as well. The ambience was nice and style tasteful and welcoming.

Now to the food. My husband ordered the lamb pizza, and it looked 10 times more appetising than other lamb pizzas he’s had at other establishments. I ordered the mushroom and pumpkin risotto. I think judging by the last pic, it’s fair to say we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thanks guys!
