Il Padrino's Pizza Pasta Restaurant

I’ve been going here since I discovered it 13 years ago in my uni days and it’s probably been my go to pizza place in Melbourne since. Quality pizzas and service all the time and good prices!

Generous toppings, tasty sauces and a nice buttery crusty/soft warm freshly baked bread-y type of base, what more could you ask for?! Il pads is always our go to pizza hookup in St. Albans and they never disappoint. I will say though, at times their customer service is not at a fine dining restaurant level but please remember that at the end of the day, you're ordering a pizza (most likely) and all these hard working human beings are just doing their job. If you want above and beyond customer service to be part of the price you pay then go and find yourself somewhere that does some above and beyond fine dining. If you're after a delicious pizza that ticks all the boxes, give this place a go and enjoy.

The staff at this restaurant is nice and friendly. Although it can be a bit busy at times, they work hard to ensure orders are delivered promptly. The food is always fresh and served hot. The pasta bake is recommended as a good alternative to pizza.

I have always considered this restaurant to be my favorite pizza place in the St Albans area. They offer a wide variety of pizzas, pastas, and other dishes at competitive prices. However, during my recent visits, I felt that the quality of the pizzas had declined slightly. This could be due to a change in ownership or staff. The pizzas still have a decent amount of toppings and are cooked well in the oven, but at times I found the sauce to be lacking in certain areas. The service was good and efficient. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant, so it is advisable to park on the side streets or in front of the local Woolworth. The seating area is small, but typical of most pizza places.

Can honestly say the best pizza I've EVER had is from Il Padrino's. The crust/base is so ridiculously good, regardless of the toppings the pizza is always 10/10. Don't be fooled by the current 3.1 zomato rating, I guarantee if you try this pizza you'll never look back!
