Looking for the best pizza near you? Step inside Il Posto, your local Italian restaurant in Paddington, where every pizza is more than a meal- it’s a story of flavour, precision, and passion. Tucked away on vibrant Latrobe Terrace, Il Posto has become a favourite Italian trattoria near by for locals craving and wondering where to find Italian cuisine near me with a modern twist.
Here’s what makes our pizza menu a standout across Brisbane’s thriving Italian food scene:
1. Slow-Fermented Dough with Real Italian Soul
At Il Posto, great pizza starts with exceptional dough. Our artisan dough, a hallmark of authentic Italian food, fermented for 48 hours using natural yeast and premium flours. This process creates a light, airy crust that’s soft, chewy, and easy to digest- perfect for pairing with our Italian desserts.
2. The Art of Balance: Simple Ingredients, Bold Combinations 🍅🧀
From our classic Margherita to the gourmet Mortadella e Pistachio Pesto, our menu is a celebration of high-quality ingredients. We use:
- Buffalo mozzarella and bocconcini for rich, creamy texture
- Prosciutto San Daniele, aged to perfection
- Roasted vegetables and herbs that bring out deep, earthy notes
- House-made bechamel sauces, pistachio pestos, and spiced oils to elevate each bite
Every pizza is built with balance in mind- never overloaded, always flavourful.
At Il Posto, our artisan pizzas are handcrafted with passion and precision, using the finest ingredients and traditional Italian methods. Our menu celebrates two distinct pizza styles:
Pizza Rosse – Tomato-Based Classics
Rich in flavour and tradition, these pizzas are topped with our house-made tomato sauce and premium mozzarella.
- Capricciosa – A Roman favourite with ham off the bone, mushrooms, artichokes, and black olives
- Quattro Carne – A hearty medley of salami, ham, pork & fennel sausage, and pancetta
- Verdurina (V) – A garden-fresh vegetarian mix of roasted pumpkin, spinach, and goat’s cheese
3. Pizza Bianche – White Base / Cheese-Driven
For a creamier, more indulgent bite, these pizzas swap tomato for béchamel or cheese-based foundations.
- Número Uno – A signature favourite with porcini mushrooms, bresaola, truffle oil, rocket & shaved parmesan
- Gamberi e Zucchini – Prawns and grilled zucchini over béchamel, finished with caramelised onions and cherry tomatoes
- Mortadella e Pistachio Pesto – A luxurious combo of buffalo mozzarella, mortadella, and our house pistachio pesto
Whether you prefer traditional Italian flavours or modern gourmet combinations, our artisan pizzas are crafted to impress every palate.
