Our Story
Where it all began
Founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Tron of Trieste and Roberto Diavoli 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.
Our Belief
A place at the table for everyone.
A great meal for all.
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. Every dish is crafted with the same respect for Italian tradition 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.
