Melt Pizzeria - HYDE PARK

Nice setup with a cool atmosphere. Drinks list is extensive and the tapas and pizzas were excellent baked gnocchi was the pick tonight for mine, delicious!

Popped into this place between gin drinking and a cabaret for a quick bite. We were greeted promptly and after advising we only had a short time to eat were told it wouldn't be a problem. The tables were booked, and we were directed to sit at the end of the bar. The menu was given to us, we declined alcoholic drinks and were given water and the glasses were topped up regularly. We ordered two pizzas and they were delivered to us with two plates, serviettes and cutlery. The pizzas were delicious as the thin base was cooked to perfection, and quality ingredients very tasty. Loved the chilli (not too much) and topped with fresh veg (lavishings of fennel) so it makes it a healthy pizza doesn't it? Once our bill was paid, we were told to have a good night at the cabaret. They remembered!

Had a most disappointing scenario for lunch today. It was a long overdue farewell lunch for a colleague with 12 of us attending. The restaurant was packed with big long tables of diners both upstairs and downstairs. No doubt everyone is on an hour lunch break, unfortunately our table would have been the last of the big party. We were on the set menu lunch at $29pp and little nibbles came out after our call for lunch to commence. That was at least 15 minutes wait for the first dish to arrive. Then 3 other 'smalls ' followed. No complains, food was good but waiting staff was not the best. She overflowed the glasses of water 3 different times! One was literally flowed onto the table whereby she had to soak it up with the napkin. Was she not looking at what she was doing? Then the wait and we had been there for more than an hour by now and the pizzas still waiting to be served. Some of us had appointments back in the office and the staff had the cheek to say they didn 't know we were pushed for time?! Restaurant situated right in the CBD with office workers around and most of us were dressed for work with some men in suits and they can 't assess that we had to get back to work? Salads were served and we devoured them in seconds. Another 5 minutes gone by and finally the pizzas arrived all packed up to take away as per request. I was most disappointed not being able to sample the different varieties whilst they are hot out of the oven! Hence no comments on the pizzas. It took me 20 minutes to head home with my box of pizza, and unfortunately it was stone cold by the time I ate a couple of pieces. I was so very looking forward to trying out the different varieties of pizzas which I heard so much about and I can 't even review them as I didn 't get to sample them all, what a disappointment, not sure if there would be another chance.

Another GOOD eatery here in the city. The Waymouth Precinct now has a few. Press* next door and now Melt Pizzaria. With a modern styling inside and some street seating, it 's good for all weather and group sizes. Melt specialises in 'thin crust ' Pizzas and Tapas, and the do it well. I chose to have the Duck Calzone.. and yes YUMM. light crust, rich filling. well worth it. I 'll have to go again for sure to try some tapas next time.

As a 3pm walking on a week day, this place surprises. Excellent menu board and workable wine list. We went for the Pork Larb minced pork, ground rice, chilli and herbs $15 along with the Baked Gnocchi peas, pesto cream and spinach $14 teamed with the Hummus with ground lamb and pine nuts $13. Three perfectly executed dishes. Lovely separated flavours, particularly the Gnocchi. If you are in Waymouth St around lunchtime this is the place. The jazz music on the PA gets a bit tedious though....
