Pappagallo

This bustling pizzeria in Leederville is known for its traditional Roman-style pizzas using a mixture of flour certified by API (Associazione Pizzerie Italiana) to create a thin and crisp base for light pizzas that are easy to digest. The first in Perth to use iaquone flour – the dough rises for 72 hours and is cooked in a woodfire oven. Pappagallo gets the simple things right with their ‘Tricolore’ of San Marzano tomatoes DOP, buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil.

Leederville’s Pappagallo is the culinary equivalent of a dependable nonna on whom you can rely to lovingly feed you with soul-nourishing dishes, ensuring you always leave with a full belly and full heart. The restaurant specialises in traditional Roman-style pizzas, with the chefs crafting each one with a unique blend of flour certified by the Associazione Pizzerie Italiane, and topping with San Marzano tomatoes with DOP certification, creamy di latte buffalo mozzarella, and delicate parma prosciutto. The menu is also graced with a generous selection of antipastis, pastas and secondis; while the wine list is a celebration of both Australian and Italian varietals— expect to see Great South Pinot and Margaret River Chardonnay dancing alongside Tuscan Chianti and Sardinian Vermentino.

This unassuming Italian gem specialises in Italian cuisine, and it's where you can go to snap up some of the best pizza in Perth. We're in love with their tantalising flavour combinations; there's a diavola of San Marzano D.O.P, mozzarella, fresh hot Italian sausage, ventriciana salami, mushroom and chilli that serves big on the spicy front, a cacio e pepe option that has us drooling, and a stracciatella and zucchini flower special that sells like hotcakes when it's on special. Options are varied and never disappoint.

Pappagallo is a Perth institution, and though it is renowned for its traditional, Roman-style pizzas, the pasta at Pappagallo should be similarly hyped. Head to their cosy Leederville location to indulge in a ‘Pasta of the Day’ (if feeling avventuroso), or take your pick from the menu; spaghetti, tagliatelle, gnocchi, ravioli, risotto or cavatelli just like Nonna makes!. Don’t forget to take advantage of their BYO wine nights from Monday to Thursday.
