Leonardo's Pizza Palace
Leonardo's Pizza Palace opened in December 2018 in a Carlton building that previously housed Da Salvatore Pizza by the Metre, a pizzeria dating to 1959. The kitchen turns out woodfired, charred pizzas including one topped with 'Chinese bolognese' taken from a sister venue's menu, which the review itself frames as more Italian-American/Italian-Australian than Neapolitan.
