  • Unexpected Ingredient Pairings

    Unconventional ingredient pairings like carrot puree, goat curd, and fermented chilli elevate vegetable-led cooking to creative new heights.

    The sweetness of the carrot puree paired beautifully with the tangy goat curd, and the baby kale added a fresh and vibrant touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the entire menu vegetarian?

Yes. The restaurant is entirely vegetarian, featuring seasonal sourdough pizzas, starters, and salads. Note that there are no meat options on the menu.

Do you need to book a table in advance?

Booking ahead is strongly recommended as the dining room is intimate, tight, and regularly fills up during peak lunch and dinner services without maintaining a walk-in waitlist. The venue accepts online reservations.

How often does the pizza menu change?

Pizza Madre changes its pizza menu frequently and seasonally, introducing creative produce combinations each month rather than keeping a static list of classic toppings.

Are there gluten-free or vegan options available?

Gluten-free pizza bases are available and well-regarded, though diners should note they are not guaranteed to be coeliac safe. Vegan options can also be accommodated on request.
