Lazerpig

There’s something about eating pizza and drinking beer that makes you happy. It could be the overload of carbs or maybe it’s just because the combo tastes that damn good. Regardless of what it is Melburnians love pizza and also love Lazerpig. If you haven’t been here before it’s unlike any pizza parlour you’ve ever been to, housed in a building that is over 140 years old once known as the Star Hotel. The red and white chequered tablecloths are a nod to Italian trattorias of a time gone by, contradicted by a menu filled with innovative wood fired pizzas made from sourdough proved for 72 hours. A disco ball hangs from the ceiling, there are rotating DJs and it’s all very Collingwood with just the right amount of grunge to make you feel at home.

You have the option of sitting at benches outside, inside at the bar tables and stools, or head into the large dining room where you can have a more restaurant style experience and spread out with your friends or family. Quality craft beers are available on tap with a focus on Australian brews and this flows through to the all Aussie wine list with an Italian style bent. Cocktails are also on the menu and who doesn’t love a good Americano, Negroni or summery Spritz before tucking into a pizza. For those wanting something else to eat, there’s great antipasti, a classic cheeseburger and a few salads to choose from too.

Lazerpig is unique. It’s a pizza place, a bar, a restaurant, a late night space to listen to sweet tunes and have a dance, plus you can even order takeaway or get home delivery. It’s pretty much whatever you want it to be and we wouldn’t expect anything less from a venue whose logo is a fat flying pig wearing a tiny cape with laser beams shooting out of its eyes.
