PADRONE
The Art of Pizza

At Padrone we have elevated pizza making to an art form.

Hand built for us in Verona, Italy, our wood-fired pizza oven is at the heart of our creations.

We use the finest Italian ingredients - 00 flour, homemade tomato sugo and 100 percent mozzarella or buffalo mozzarella.

Our slow-rising dough is hand stretched and baked at up to 500c to create a thin and light pizza.

It's said pizza dates back to the 5th century BC when Greek settlers founded Neapolis 'New Town' and brought with them 'pita' bread.

It evolved into pizza - a peasant meal in Naples where bread baked on stones in a fire was used as a plate and topped with anything from cheese to olives.

In 1889, Italian Queen Margherita tried her subjects recipe and loved it so much that a restaurant owner made a special pizza in her honour.

He topped focaccia bread with red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese and green basil to match the colours of the Italian flag.

The classic 'Pizza Margherita’ was born and the world's love of pizza began

I had a lovely gluten free pizza. They also have gluten free pasta on the menu. I was lucky enough to sit near the kitchen so I could see them make my pizza. It looked like the gf pizzas were kept somewhere else and different utensils were used. It was also put on a tray when it was put in the pizza oven. I really appreciated how hard they worked to avoid cross contamination. read less

Extensive and authentic Italian menu with the addition of a wood fired pizza oven where you can watch your pizza being cooked. We both had pullo fritto with garlic mayo and a huge helping of spicy chicken pasta and a Milanese salad. The helpings were so large we had to ask for "doggy bags" which were supplied no problem. Needless to say the food was excellent, the service prompt and cheerful and the restaurant itself nicely laid out. Toilets were also first class by the way. read less
