Book NowAbout Avoja Pizzeria
Backed by the LuMi Dining team, this Manly spot turns out airy pies with exaggerated, blistered canotto rims. The dough has serious spring and lightness—charred beneath, pillowy at the edge, and built for inventive toppings. Standouts veer modern, matching broccoli purée with savoury anchovies, chilli, and cool burrata, alongside classics like sausage with potato and smoked provolone. Diners cap off the table with house tiramisu.

Why Diners Choose Avoja Pizzeria
Discover how Lumi Dining's pedigree, artisan crust technique, and creative toppings define Manly's standout pizza experience.
Artisan Airy Crust with Exceptional Spring
Master pizzaiolo Matteo Ernandes crafts artisan dough defined by remarkable lightness, airy puffiness, and blistered char that outclasses standard Neapolitan styles.
There is a beautiful spring and puffiness in the crust and I personally think this is more enjoyable than Neapolitan pizza.
David Wang Thoughtfully Reimagined Contemporary Toppings
The menu balances purist staples with innovative combinations like smooth broccoli purée, savoury anchovies, chilli, and rich burrata.

Nicole Kolotas The Go-To Weekend Indulgence
Regulars turn to Avoja for repeat weekend visits, anchoring orders around seasonal pizzas and classic housemade desserts.
Best pizza in the Manly area by far (have been two weekends in a row). Absolutely loved everything including the Broccoli Purée pizza, Zucchini Flower pizza and of course the tiramisu!
