So i ordered the michaelangelo bieng a fan of a rucola prosciutto, gorgonzola, pizza i thought this variation would be interesting.. Needless to say, it was packed with so much flavour i finished the whole pizza and the crust was alittle thick to my liking but it was slightly crisp and had the the lightest kiss of chewiness in the dough which to me is a big thumbs up. Then the tiramisu happened. For so little ingredients its amazing how many italian resturants charge big money and dont get it right. Fortunatley - this tiramisu was belissima! And the double dusting of cocoa although a - little touch - added a nice depth that married really nicely with the espresso soaked biscuit and its such a sweet dish the bitterness of the cocoa balanced the flavours beautifully. Also genuine friendly staff.

The smell of the Michelangelo is enough to get my mouth watering... Tucking into the fresh rocket and delicious prosciutto, partnered with succulent tomatoes/onion and a rich base with crispy crust. Epic, just epic. This is good pizza. You'll pay a bit more than usual - there's no hot dog crust or spicy chicken wing combos - but that's not why you go here. Can be difficult to order during peak times, had several calls go unanswered on a Friday night, but this is to be expected. The owner is super friendly and the staff are always courteous and chatty, clean premises and the thunderous roar of the pizza oven let's you know this is the real deal.

Honest opinion of someone coming from NYC daring to order pizza abroad; it’s not NY pizza, or Italian wood fired, or Detroit or Chicago-style. It’s Aussie style pizza and it’s fantastic. Lighter than all the previously mentioned, crispy crust, and perfect portion size. Only wished I’d ordered more. Also, all the guys crushing out orders were super friendly and helpful which I think only adds to the deservingly five star review.

Fabulous! The pizza crust was crispy- the toppings perfect- the sauce incredible. The pasta bolongese and puttanesca we’re out of this world! So flavorful and perfectly cooked. Even the rocket salad was special. Most of all Frank and his family made us feel like we were home in our dining room- so friendly and lovely!!

  • Connor FitzGerald

The pizzas here are excellent - every single time. The crusts are always light and crispy and there is always just the right amount of toppings. It's perfectly located close to a bottle-o too! To top if off the staff are courteous and the accurate pick-up times are useful and appreciated. Highly recommend this joint.

  • Marie Munda

Best pizza I’ve EVER had . Like no joke you will go here and you will never regret going there ! Mouth watering, the cheese is stringy and melts in your mouth, uses homemade sauce. EVERYTHING IS AMAZING AND FRESH. I recommend it for everyone . Amazing people and Best place ever ❤️

  • B B

THE BEST gluten free pizza ever. I assure you it is very hard to find a delicious gluten free pizza crust. In fact I never have ... until last week ordering at Made In Turin. These guys have got it right. My review is based on a large GF Turinese.

  • BeastBoy3903

Friends and I were up for the weekend and we decided to order pizza from Made in Turin and we all agreed that the pizzas from this place are one of the best we have ever had! An unexpected gem, can't wait to visit again.

We got a take away vegetarian pizza from the shop. Pizza was bland in taste. Possibly they forgot to add salt, chillies and even the base sauce.
