Pizza Ahoy!

Melbourne has always been the spiritual home of Italian food in Australia.

Lately, though, there's been a trend towards yummy thin-crusted slices of wallet-friendly delight. Often found in the scruffy chic confines of student/artist haunts citywide, now there's no excuse for skipping dinner.

There's the delightful fare of The Espy Kitchen, in St. Kilda, which has nightly specials - including $5 pizzas on Friday and Saturday nights after 11pm... just the thing for some inter-gig partying. Considering the music often rages til 3am, this is an absolute gem.

The Hawthorn Hotel has delicious $4 pizzas every day of the week, lunch and dinner, plus great student discounts on drinks.

The sister drinking holes Lucky Coq (in Windsor) and Bimbo Deluxe (in Fitzroy) boast an exciting array of $5 pizzas, between noon - 4pm (Mon - Thurs) and after 7pm - 11 (Sun - Thurs).

My favourite is in CBD, tucked away in Snider Lane - dodgy around some smelly bins and you'll find the op shop chic of Sister Bellas is a major drawcard for RMIT students. Witness their $4 pizzas (noon til 4pm, $7 afterwards til midnight)
