A Melbourne first, the Spag Bowl

February 8, 2021

Pizza is the most recognised word in the world of food

No matter where you are, who you are with, or whatever language you speak, we all know the word PIZZA when we see it on a street sign right?

So one of the challenges when producing great pizza in Melbourne, is knowing how to stand out from your competitors, and it’s not at all about competing.

It’s about how you see your brand uniquely different in the marketplace so people searching for ‘best pizza near me’ find you, give you a go, and come back because they identify with your unique offering.

May we introduce 'the Spag Bowl.

What is the 'Spag Bowl' ?

We are so glad you asked because this is our unique offering.

It’s a dish that combines both our woodfired pizza and our housemade pasta; the best of both worlds some might say.

You can choose between 3 different kind of pastas to fill up our bowls, all Piccolino's style:

The edible bowl is hand crafted from our 72hour rested pizza dough, and once woodfired in the oven, is filled with any of our homemade pasta dishes on the menu of your choice.

We named it the Spag Bowl when we first opened in 2017, because our very first trial was done with spaghetti Bolognese… and it was rudely delicious by the way !!

For those of you looking for something unique, this is a must try.
