    Best Pizza Restaurants in Wollongong & Illawarra

    Looking for the best pizza restaurants in Wollongong and the Illawarra? The What’s On in Wollongong team took on the ultimate pizza mission, and let’s just say—we’ve had a delicious time doing it. Whether it’s Wollongong’s finest woodfired pizza, best takeaway pizza or discovering new Italian restaurants near you, we got you covered. It was nearly impossible to pick favourites, we’ve narrowed it down to our top Illawarra pizza picks, just for you.

    Kneading Ruby – Best Woodfire Pizza Wollongong CBD

    Walking into Kneading Ruby, we knew we were in for something special. The aroma of woodfired dough and fresh basil hits you before you even sit down. The vibe? Industrial chic meets cozy Italian trattoria—exposed bricks, warm lighting, and an open kitchen where you can watch the pizza magic happen.

    Their Margherita? A classic—simple, fresh, and ridiculously tasty. But if you love something next-level, the Cavolo Nero (Fior di Late, Chilli, Pangrattato & Rosemary) or the Soppressata (Fermented Chilli, Fior di Latte, Pickled Fennel & Parmesan) are game-changers. And the staff? Super friendly and passionate about great pizza & Italian food.

    The Fraternity Club – Incredible Pizza & Play Areas for Kids

    Fairy Meadow | Authentic Woodfired Pizza in a Club Entertainment Setting (great for kids also, with 2 play areas)

    Stepping into The Fraternity Club is entertainment central — but with Nonna having made some of the best woodfired pizza. Their Il Bene Pizzeria follows old-school Italian traditions for pizza that’s packed with flavour.

    We tried the Diavola (spicy salami, chilli, mozzarella)—thin, chewy, spicy, and utterly perfect. The staff? Beyond welcoming. Kids love the outside play park, inside games arcade and adults can enjoy the sports screens, or tuck away into more cosy seated areas
