Real Pizza, Real Fire
Pizza the way Leichhardt has loved it since 1977 — from a family who never stopped doing it properly.
At La Botte D'Oro, pizza isn't an afterthought. Our dough is left to prove slowly, stretched by hand, dressed simply with good tomato, fresh mozzarella and a few honest toppings — then slid into a real wood-burning oven and blistered in minutes.
The result is a base that's light and charred at the edges, soft in the middle, and never heavy. It's the kind of pizza you'd find down a side street in Naples — made right here on Marion Street, in the heart of Sydney's original Little Italy.
Come in for lunch or dinner, grab it to take away, or make it your Wednesday ritual with our pizza-and-a-drink night.

No shortcuts, no conveyor ovens. Just the four things that make a real wood-fired pizza.
Slow Dough
Our dough proves slowly for a light, digestible base with a proper airy crust.
Simple Toppings
Good tomato, fresh mozzarella and a handful of honest ingredients — nothing hidden.
The Wood Fire
Baked to order in a real wood-burning oven — that blistered, smoky char you can't fake.
Straight to You
Out of the oven and onto your table in minutes — the only way to eat it.
Wednesday is Pizza Night
“Good pizza is simple — great dough, real fire, and no shortcuts. That's how we've made it on Marion Street since 1977.
