Feeding a crowd? Work out how many.
Birthdays, footy trips, office lunches. Tell us who’s coming and we’ll suggest how many pizzas, the veggie and spicy split, and a lineup from the menu.
Suggested lineup
How we work it out: adults eat about 2, 3 or 4 slices (light, normal, starving), kids about 2. If there’s other food we allow roughly 30% less. We round up, because nobody’s ever complained about leftover pizza. It’s a guide, so we’ll confirm numbers with you.

Our story · named for a nonno’s oak fire
About Tom & Giulia
Giulia grew up watching her nonno feed oak into his oven outside Naples. Tom grew up surfing Palm Beach and eating whatever was cheapest. They met working a pizza van at the Currumbin markets, and in 2019 they put a proper oven in a tiny shop on the strip.
There’s not much oak on the Gold Coast, so the oven burns local ironbark. The name stuck anyway. The dough is flour, water, salt and time. Tom runs the fire, Giulia runs everything else, and the pizzas come out blistered, soft in the middle and a bit charred on the edges, the way they should.
“If the crust doesn’t have a few leopard spots, it goes back in.”Tom, on the oven, most nights

Sample reviews
“Best crust on the southern Gold Coast, no contest. Soft, chewy, charred in all the right places. We walk down every Friday now.”
“Ordered 14 pizzas for my son’s 10th. Giulia helped with the numbers, it was all ready on the dot and still hot at home.”
“The prawn pizza with chilli and lemon is ridiculous. Get the garlic bread as well.”
“Proper vegan options, not an afterthought. The marinara is simple and perfect.”
“Tiny place and it gets packed after 6 on Saturdays, so call ahead. Worth the wait though.”
Questions
Asked at the counter a lot.
Do you take bookings?
For groups of 8 or more, yes. Send us a message with the contact form or call. Smaller groups are walk-in, and a table usually frees up quickly.
Can I order ahead for pick-up?
Yes. Call, or use the order pad on this page to send your order with a pick-up time. Pick-up is usually ready in 15–20 minutes, a bit longer on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Do you deliver?
We deliver through Uber Eats and DoorDash, who handle the drivers, the delivery area and the fees. If you’re close by, pick-up is the way to go. Woodfired crust is at its best in the first 10 minutes.
Do you have gluten-free or vegan options?
We have a gluten-free base and vegan cheese, and the marinara is vegan as it comes. Our kitchen uses wheat flour and one shared oven, so if you have coeliac disease or an allergy, please call before ordering and we’ll talk it through.
How much notice do you need for a party order?
For 10 or more pizzas, a day’s notice lets us make extra dough and stagger the bakes so everything comes out hot. For big functions, a few days is better. The party calculator above sends your numbers straight to us.
Can I bring my own wine?
Yes, BYO wine is fine with a small corkage per bottle. We also have local beers and Italian sodas in the fridge.
Is there parking?
There’s street parking out the front and on the side streets. It fills up in summer, so it’s often quicker to walk down from the beach.
Can you do half-and-half pizzas?
On the 15-inch share size, yes. Ask when you order. The 12-inch is one pizza, one flavour, the Neapolitan way.
