Ladro has been around for ages and despite the great word of mouth I know lots of people who have still not been! Because of this I decided to give them a round of applause online in the hope that other pizza lovers like me don't wait any longer to savour their exceptionally good wares. The pizza itself is of...

There are two Ladro's in Melbourne and we went to the one in Prahran. We arrived here by accitdent, having walked out of the restaurant we had booked for dinner (FOG) due to the fact that they were rude upon our arrival. Ladro, by contrast was welcoming and friendly, and far busier, which is always a good sign! We shared... More

The pizza and style of this place make it one of our favourite food joints in fitzroy. Its generally pretty busy, but you can put your name down and get a drink down the road while you wait.

LADRO in Italian means THEIF & they definitely are. I searched online for a kid friendly restaurant & LADRO came up. We had 15 adults & 4 children. Parking is an issue & for people with children, not convenient at all. Due to the size of the group I had to pay a $20 deposit per person via credit card... More

The bases were thin and well cooked and the ingredients were fresh and of a high standard., Sauce was amply spread but not drowning and the ingredients were plentiful but not excessive. Very... More

It's in a great little strip not far from town with interesting and eclectic shops to browse in before your meal. The fitout of Ladro is modern and simple too. We take our four young children...

You can't beat a wood oven for fantastic, crispy based pizzas and delicious slow cooked meet and Ladro does both so well, all wrapped together with great service, a brilliant atmosphere on gorgeous Gertrude St and delectable ingredients.
