Woodfired Neapolitan crusts blistered with spotted char make Canteen Pizza a magnetic Applecross fixture. Regulars drop in early for morning espresso and ripiena, then linger into the evening when vinyl records spin and freshly shucked oysters hit the tables. Long-fermented dough yields a light, chewy cornicione topped with creamy fior di latte and nduja. Sunset brings daily aperitivo pours, limoncello spritzes, and warm pizza bread dressed with buttery Sicilian olives.

Why Choose Canteen Pizza
Why diners, locals, and celebratory groups choose Canteen Pizza in Applecross.
Artisanal Woodfired Dough
Woodfired crusts proofed for extensive fermentation deliver a balanced chew and crisp char topped with balanced Italian ingredients.
Dough is light and fluffy whilst having a satisfying chew. The San Marzano tomato sauce is simple but flavourful and perfectly compliments the Fior Di Latte mozzarella.
Joshua Moy Morning Bakery & Cafe Offerings
Breakfast brings pizza dough morning bowls, fresh house crumpets, and specialty morning coffee in village Applecross.
Fluffiest doughiest delicious bowls filled with the best breakfast - have been back twice and have sent the family. Bonus of excellent coffee and lovely spot.
Kristen Trollope Daily Afternoon Aperitivo Hour
A dedicated daily 3pm to 5pm aperitivo hour offers spritzes, antipasto plates, buttery Sicilian olives, and fluffy freshly baked pizza bread.
The aperitivo hour between 3pm & 5pm every day is a must! They do amazing cocktails, I recommend the limoncello spritz, for only $12 and serve a delicious antipasto plate.
Kirsty Allan All-Day Village Dining
Starting early at 8:30am with breakfast adds like mortadella and prosciutto, Canteen serves all day through late-night dining and drinks.
We arrived to a smiling host and a very high standard of hospo service at 8.30am. And then the food was very flavoursome - incredibly sourced ingredients.
Clare Mengler Live Vinyl DJs & Fresh Oysters
Evenings transition into lively dining accented by live-shucked oysters and live DJs spinning vinyl records.
The DJ was spinning records all night that absolutely slapped—we loved the music and it just added to the whole atmosphere.
