Our gorgeous interior brings a taste of Italy to the heart of Essendon. Each of our rooms reflects a unique vibe, from our southern Italian trattoria to our decadent and intimate upstairs restaurant.And the food. We believe good food doesn’t have to be complicated.

Here at Ollie’s, our style of pizza doesn't fit into any classification. It’s a bit of New York and a bit Neapolitan. A thin and crispy base with a delicious chewy crust, topped with the freshest produce and most delicious flavour combinations. The dough is proved for a day and a half, then stretched in the traditional way by hand – and when it’s time for cookin’ – we fire it up super freakin’ hot and super freakin’ fast!Ollie’s Pizza is created in homage to all the great Pizzaiolos who are out there “making a crust”, and 'cause when it's this nice, who doesn’t love a slice! We're located on Sydney Rd, Brunswick next to Stay Gold - a cornerstone of Melbourne live music. Ollie's is a great place for an after-work or pre-evening cocktail or a beer. And on the weekends, the lights go down and the music turns up! We'll see you at the bar.

We had a FANTASTIC experience at Postmistress. The food was really delicious. Highly recommend the Melanzane Pizza & Brucia Culo pizza. The veal involtini was scrumptious and the ricotta gnocchi melted in your mouth. Lydia, our waitress was the BEST! She was very knowledgeable when it came to the dishes on the menu and she was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was really nice. I liked the fact that you could see the kitchen on one side and on the other side there was a bar. The tables were large and spacious and the chairs were quite comfortable. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely return! Thank you for an enjoyable evening Postmistress!
