Wonderful food and lovely service. The ingredients were of quality and the chef and his wife were just delightful. Prices are reasonable, and it just had a lovely family feel. The special Mediterranean salad was a winner! Thoroughly recommended!

Purchased 2 family size pizza’s on Sunday 27/03/2022. 1x Super Supreme and 1x Satay Chicken I think that the chicken had flown the coop before ours was made. Our pizzas consisted of a few scrappy pieces of chicken, ultra thin slices of capsicum and the...sauce tasted nothing like satay As for the super supreme , topping very little. I’ve had better from Domino’s We will not return, has left a bitter taste 👅More

Mel's pizza's are the best we have had in a long time Great sizes and toppings are brilliant, there is something different with the bases, and they are my favourite. Cheap home delivery oprions which was pretty quick

We chose to stay at Trinity Beach as we enjoy a quiet experience on our holidays. We first had take away from Mel's and then dined in as a family. Each time was excellent. The staff were kind and the food was beautiful. Next time...we return, we hope you are here. Thank you!More

We used to order take away from Lunico's at Trinity Beach and kept getting more and more disappointed. I finally tried Mel's Pizzeria and we are loving it. We love the pizza and today I had the spaghetti Puttanesca and King Prawns in Rose Garlic...Creamy Sauce delivered. Everything is delicious. Delivery is reliable and we will order again and again.More

Order family supreme pizza to be delivered. Guy of phone was ok but not much 'joy' in his voice with delivery in 40-50 minutes (it arrived in 30min). I misread price and was .90c under and offered to run inside for the extra, but driver...said not to worry - so that was nice. Unfortunately the pizza was very tasteless - I mean no taste at all - was disappointed.More

The person I placed the order with was lovely as was the person who delivered but sorry, this was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. There was no tomato on the base, none at all! Sliced boiled egg, boiled egg! Chunks of onion, on an...Aussie pizza and it was cold. How was the ham? I don’t know, neither of us could bare to take a bite. Total waste of money. With respect.More

The vegetarian supreme pizza was one of the worst pizzas we have eaten. The bottom was soggy and not at all nice.

The pizza was okay. Not very hot and lacked salt. But pizza isn’t Australians biggest strength so wasn’t expecting much. Reasonable priced

Stopped in here for dinner with our 3 kids. Great value family specials. There were a few veggie options, but not many. They mixed up one of our orders, but gave it complimentary...nice. Really friendly staff. They were really busy the night we were there....Aussie pizza was really good and nice pasta and garlic bread. We ate for less then $50, so good choice for families.More

Floor to ceiling pine panelling and kitsch red and white chequered table cloths, got the mental picture? Food was ok, pizza a little undercooked, could have done with a little longer to firm up the base. Carbonara delicious but pasta over cooked. No air conditioning,...no alcohol (BYO only) and no EFTPOS. Good takeaway or delivery option.More

This place is amazing value. It is Italian with some Greek dishes. By day it is a cafe. By night a restaurant with cafe level prices. Portions are generous. You can get most Italian foods - pizzas, pastas, meat dishes here. Service is quick and...efficient. only downside is it shuts at 8:30pm in the evening. You can get your wine or beer from the next door liquor shop. Has a nice atmosphere with checked cloth table cloths on the tables. Well cooked too.More

We had the gnocchi with tomato sauce and the veggie supreme pizza. Both were very good and priced well (12.90 and 14.00 respectively). The best part is that they offer BYO and charge no corkage. There is a Liquorland market just next door so you...could buy libations before entering the restaurant. Seems busy for takeaway for the locals but was not busy for dine in at 7pm on a Saturday. Nice, quaint little place to eat and the food was really good.More

We had two take away meals from this restuarant. The first was a pizza and the second was Pasta Tortellini. The pizzas were fresh and tasty. Pasta was very rich and with lots of sauce. Both meals were reasonably priced.
