The Captain of Aireys

Had a lovely dinner at The Captain of Aireys during our Great Ocean Road getaway. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, perfect for an evening by the coast. We were amazed by their Woodifred pizza — perfectly crisp base, smoky wood-fired flavor, and just the right balance of toppings. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. A must-visit spot in Aireys Inlet for good food and great vibes! Follow our adventures at @aussie.indian.adventures for more local finds.

We just finished our 2 pizzas from here! Absolutely amazing pizzas…❤️❤️❤️ I ve never seen my husband enjoy Woodfired pizzas like he did with these! We had the Captain and the Prawn and Chorizo … the pizza dough was excellent and to be honest, better than most if not all Melbourne metro Woodfired pizzas we have had! So light and easy to eat, we could have eaten a third pizza… the ingredients were excellent too … fresh and great quality ! Well done and lucky Aireys Inlet having such quality in the local vicinity ! Totally delicious! ❤️😄👍🏻

Just wow. Probably the best pizza dough I have ever had. The Captain only does pizzas, which is a stroke of genius because they do them incredibly well. We ordered the Veggies patch, Lemon and Garlic prawn and the Captain. They were all divine. Very fresh ingredients, prawns were large and cooked well. The ham was not overly salty and processed. The garlic and parmesan loaf was also delicious. Staff are just wonderful.

Just decided to randomly stop for a quick bite and what a find!!! Joey is wonderful, cheerful and a great host. Made us feel so comfortable and kept bringing chilled beer. I tried the mushroom and garlic pizza and it was sensational. The outdoor sitting is very inviting with great charm. Perfect summer spot. Definitely doing it again

The wood fire pizza were delicious, whether as the main meal or dessert. They use fresh local ingredients. I highly recommend the Pepe pizza. The atmosphere is nice.

Fantastic pizza. Fresh, tasty and well seasoned. Great chew to the dough, sauce was excellent, great ingredients. Salad was also spot on. Lots of veggo options as well. Service was excellent and vibe in the restaurant was very nice. Highly recommended if you are passing through.

Dec 24: Good reviews on Google and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were all smiles and the pizzas was lovely. But we won’t be back as we live in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 highly recommend ❤️

One of the best pizza places we’ve tried ! The wood fired pizzas were just perfectly charred, they tasted smoky and the toppings complemented the overall taste. Love the excellent service and atmosphere of this place as well. We sat in the cozy al fresco dining area. Would definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends!

We paid for two 11inch pizzas and a small container of rocket, total $65! What a joke! $10 for a handful of rocket ! Worst pizza we have had in years . Save your money and buy a frozen one from Coles it would seriously be better. ZERO STARS DONT BOTHER.

Dropped in for an early quick Sunday dinner & we were very impressed. Prompt, friendly service & great pizzas. Lived up to the recommendations of locals!

We tried this place for a change, and glad we did - Aireys Inlet is known for it's lighthouse and the tea-shop nearby, but wanted to try something different for a more substantial meal. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the pizzas have interesting and very tasty variations on regular favourites. The "Pork 'n' Pear" pizza has a lovely mix of fior di latte and gorgonzola cheeses - lovely! There's plenty of side order options, as well as a kids menu too... A lovely little spot to stop off for a break if touring the Great Ocean Road or even if staying nearby - especially if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of more touristy places like Lorne.

Amazing place on the coast! My husband & I were driving past on our way to Apollo Bay & saw this little place. I'm an Aussie & he's a New Yorker and I have to say, this pizza rival's the pizza I've eaten in NYC since I've lived there for the past 7 years. There salads are fresh & unique & yummy & they have great coffee & local ice-cream to finish the meal. Wonderful service also from the young couple that own it. He's the chef & she's front of house & together they're the perfect team. Check out The Captain. Seriously. You won't be disappointed!!
