Our Story

Where it all began

Founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Tron of Trieste and Roberto Davoli of Reggio Emilia, SHOP225 started as a quiet neighbourhood pizza shop with a big idea that authentic Italian food should be accessible to everyone.

What began on a single street in Pascoe Vale has grown into one of Australia's most awarded pizzerias. But the soul of what we do has never changed.

Food Inclusivity

Everyone deserves a seat at the table

Food has always been about connection, and we believe everyone deserves to share in that experience. That's why we've created a menu that goes beyond simply catering to dietary requirements. We've built an inclusive Italian dining experience where every guest feels considered, welcomed and valued.

As the first pizza restaurant accredited by Coeliac Australia, we take enormous pride in offering coeliac-safe dining without compromising authenticity or flavour. Combined with our vegan, halal and dairy-free offerings, SHOP225 is a place where families, friends and communities can come together over great food, without anyone feeling like an afterthought.

Our Belief

A place at the table for everyone.

A great meal for all.

We believe dietary requirements should never limit the joy of sharing great Italian food.

At SHOP225, dietary requirements have never been an afterthought. They are the reason we cook the way we do.

Whether you're vegan, coeliac, gluten-free, halal-conscious, or simply someone who loves exceptional pizza, you will find a seat at our table. As an international Italian shop, we bring together the best of tradition and the diversity of the people we serve. Every dish is crafted with the same respect for Italian heritage and the same belief that no one should ever compromise on flavour.

The Craft

Traditional methods. Modern inclusion.

Every pizza is made the way it always has been in Italy, wood-fired oven lit from scratch every service, dough proofed with care, and ingredients chosen with obsessive attention to quality.

When you respect the ingredients, the people you're cooking for, and the traditions behind the food, the result takes care of itself.

The founders

Made by people who care about food

Two Italians who came to Melbourne and wanted to share the food they grew up with honest, generous, and made for everyone at the table.

Recognition

Recognition has never been our goal

"Recognition has never been our goal but it's been the natural outcome of a simple belief: respect the craft, respect the ingredients, respect the people you serve."

Come and see for yourself

Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, the welcome is always the same. The table is set.
