About
A Slice Of Rome is a Roman Style Pizzeria in the heart of Thornbury.
Established in 2020, A Slice Of Rome aims to introduce Pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice - the traditional street food of Rome) to Melbourne
combining centuries of culinary tradition and innovation.
The high hydration and 96 hour fermentation combined with a two step baking process results in a honeycombed, blistery crust and delicious airy centre that showcases the free seasonal ingredients on the top.
Pizzas are freshly baked every day on trays then sold by the slice.
