Lou’s Pizza & Wine is Little Malop Street’s hand-made, hand-stretched pizza hideout

Words by Chloe Cicero

Whilst we like to think there is no such thing as bad pizza, there certainly are some cardboard varieties. Lou's Pizza & Wine sit on the polar opposite end of that scale as one of the best pizza producers in the region.

Covid was a downfall for many small local businesses, but here we have a diamond in the rough, with Lou’s Pizza and Wine opening in September 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic. Owners Will and Ryan took a risk, and it has most definitely paid off. 

Lou’s Pizza and Wine

  • Where: 1/73B Little Malop Street
  • Open: Tue – Thu, 5-9pm, Fri & Sat, 12-10pm, Sun, 12-8pm

Already rapidly having gained a reputation for being one of the most prestigious pizza places in the region, you’d be seriously missing out if you didn’t visit Lou’s in the near future. Known for its handmade, hand-stretched pizzas, and using only fresh premium ingredients, you might as well be in Italy. Priding themselves on sourcing their ingredients from local producers and suppliers (when possible), supporting their community and ensuring the freshest flavours possible, Lou’s is a good time waiting for you.

Among all of the other incredible aspects of Lou’s, the standout feature is their pizza dough, rested for 48 hours – to create a thin, crispy base, with puffy and crunchy crusts – I recommend wearing your stretchiest pants, or not even bothering with pants altogether. 

To complement this incredible base, the menu at Lou’s offers a wide range of pizza options, from your traditional Italian styles like Napoletana and Margherita, to American-Italian influences, like the Spicy Salami, and even some Aussie favourites, like BBQ Chicken and Supreme – they basically have every pizza combination you could want. 

If pizza isn’t your thing, that’s fine, because at Lou’s there is an array of delicious non-pizza options, such as a Burrata with Flatbread, fresh pastas, deli items, their famous mozzarella sticks and garlic bread, and salads – they also cater and accommodate to dietary requirements, with a variety of gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options available – so there is literally something for everyone.

Lou’s has a cosy and inviting dining experience with an outdoor sheltered heated area suitable for larger groups and an indoor dining room. To match the fun and edgy vibe of Lou’s, check out the alcohol on offer. From a wide range of captivating cocktails, wine, and beer, with Lou’s having their own label beer “Lou’s Lager” on tap that has been specially brewed for them, the drinks partner with the pizza perfectly.

At Lou’s they’re all about creating an unforgettable journey for patrons, to redefine your dining experience and leave you wanting more.
