Pizzeria Magma

Always reliably excellent for pizza, service and atmosphere. I come here early with kids and they're so sweet to them and I've come later with friends and it's always a nice vibe. The pizza is SO delicious, you have to try the Menta and $20 is a bargain. Everyone working there are always friendly and welcoming.

This is probably the 4th time I've eaten at Magma over the last couple of years when visiting Melbourne and it's just consistently great. I've watch the chefs take their craft seriously, the service friendly and accomodating, and the general ambiance of the place - especially around sunset, is super nice. My only wish was they deliver internationally cause it's the best priced pizza, at this level of quality, I've had anywhere.

Very delicious pizza and exceptionally affordable at $20 each. Great range of options, particularly delicious array of vegetarian pizzas — the Menta being a particular highlight. Have now been here twice, am yet to explore the rest of their menu but it all looks superb 🍷

Great pizza and even better service. I would go back all day everyday for $20 pizzas!

Not only Melbournes best pizza but also the best value. Great service and ambience. Good for families early with free ice cream if the kids eat their crusts.

New spot for us and it’s shot right up to the top of our Pizzeria list in Melbourne. Lovely pies, thoughful well-priced wine list, and excellent service. What more could you ask for. Stand out dishes include the pan fried carrot cake and the “Tony & I” pie. Yum yum!

Chewy, fluffy, ‘dough si dough’ pizzas with quality toppings, combined with some very tasty starters, great wine and vibe made for our perfect Friday date night. We weren’t planning to step out but we drove past Pizzeria Magma last week on the way back from Thin Slizzy Pizza and the red magma lights caught our eye, so we made a booking for last night. Let’s start with service, excellent. The staff were ln the ball and very attentive. Atmosphere was chill, moody lighting, with killer tunes playing softly in the background (cue Two of Hearts - Stacey Q: reminds us of our younger days hitting the clubs on Johnston St such as Bar Salona, 120 bar etc). Anyways we digress, let’s get to the food. The braised cabbage, well, we didn’t know what to expect. Picture a lasagne style dish (but made with cabbage), layered, topped with 36 month parm sauce, garlic and chilli. What the heck bro!!? Not expected, this is something that we would expect at a fancy shmancy wine bar at double the price. Very impressive flavour profile and texture. We wanted more but needed to eat some protein so we paired that with some prosciutto and melon (life is about balance). And to tip things back to the carb dark side we smashed a bowl of frittes with a garlicky mayo which was damn fine. For the pizza we went back to our usual Margherita , but with added salumi, so technically not a Margherita, and also a side of their home made ajvar sauce. Being from the balkans myself, ajvar (a chilli/pepper/eggplant relish) is something I (Ronny) have been eating for over 40 years and Charlene only the last 8 years (for some reason Lebanese people were deprived of ajvar, poor folk) Anyhow, the ajvar was made into a sauce and used as the base for one of their other pizzas but we asked for a small bowl on the side to dip the pizza crust. So how was the pizza, well the dough was fluffy, chewy, crispy, charred, it was a damn fine dough and crust, done right. It’s more of a 11” pizza size but the dough is thicc, like my wife, that I can sink my teeth into and chew, and similarly with the pizza. Texture was insanely good. The toppings were fresh, fragrant and a great balance between the sweetness from the tomatoes, and the umami from the cheese and salumi. And dipping the crust in the ajvar sauce just elevated it to the next level. Brilliant. What we have leaned the last couple months on our pizza tour of Melbourne is the ones we have selected (after my careful deliberation and strategic curation) is that they are all top players in their respective pizza style. Magma is a 5 star in their domain, unique pizza toppings, dough/crust that’s thicc-er than our usual Neapolitan we are accustomed to, but a welcome change and experience. Thanks for having us Magma!

Ordered a glass of Shiraz and the Margherita and Garlic pizzas. Both of them were amazing! Really good dough, really nice, balanced flavours on the pizza. Service was really good. Food came out in a really good time. Felt like everything ran very very smoothly. The ooooonly thing I’d improve here is just something on the walls. They’re all completely bare and gives nothing for the eyes to enjoy while waiting. I understand that paintings or photos/posters might not suit but neon lights to marry the outside decor to inside might be a good idea for a bit more visual appeal. But otherwise had a great time!
