Pasquale Mercadante arrived in Melbourne fifteen years ago. In that short period of time he opened four very successful Italian restaurants: Vita in Fitzroy, Da Pasquale in Fairfield, Mercadante Woodfire Pizzeria in Carlton and his crowning achievement: Pasquale M in Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna.

Passion is the secret to Pasquale’s success. He takes pride in his Italian heritage and passione for the cooking philosophy of his ancestors: fresh is best. In his restaurant only the freshest, crispest and juiciest produce is used. Nothing comes out of a tin. His chef’s passion for food and a lot of hard work transform the freshest raw ingredients into culinary mouth-watering works of art. Everything is made from scratch, including the fabulous crusty bread which is freshly baked, Thursday to Sunday in the wood fire oven, and can be purchased individually.

Pasquale’s specialty is lovingly made wood fire pizzas. From traditional pizza toppings to gourmet pizza creations, Pasquale M’s extensive menu ensures that there’s something for everyone.

Understandably, Pasquale has a large following of loyal customers who have nicknamed him the “Pied Piper of Pizza”. Try one of Pasquale’s own tantalising creations, like his signature pizza the Rosanna Pizza. It’s no wonder that Pasquale has helped to educate palates away from fatty, greasy fast food pizzas to the dining delight that is freshly baked, crispy, delicious pizza made using traditional Italian methods by a chef with passion!

Never compromise on quality to save a penny, not for Pasquale’s customers. Ciao! We look forward to serving you the best pizza in Melbourne!
