Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
Under $15 in Kew means short lists and specific items. Six places passed our two-source check and have an item under $15 on the venue’s own menu or ordering page: two in Kew, four in Hawthorn. Every dollar figure below was copied on 2 October 2026.
Some of these are everyday prices. Some are one-day-a-week deals, and the venue’s own page says which. One catch: Nevermind Bar’s site footer reads Copyright 2021, its food menu is undated, and that menu puts the $1 wings on Sunday where the home page says Monday, so ring before you go for the specials.

Kew Breadworks Bakery & Cafe — 231 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
Its own site lists a homemade beef pie at $4.50, a French vanilla slice at $4 and, under the focaccia list on its lunch page, a chicken schnitzel focaccia at $9.50. From 8am to 11am every day it has a small coffee and a small egg bacon roll for $8.50. Listed hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, Saturday 8am to 4pm and Sunday 8:30am to 3:30pm, and the site says prices are subject to change. A vanilla slice is custard between sheets of pastry with icing on top. The move: the small coffee and small egg bacon roll, $8.50, before 11am.
Nevermind Bar — 336 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
A bar whose site lists weekly day specials. It lists Monday $1 wings and $9 pizzas (the board does not say how many wings that buys), Tuesday $3 tacos and Thursday $10 burgers, and its food menu lists wontons (five to a serve, spelled “Wontons Wantons” on the menu) at $12. The site says it is “open pretty much all the time: Monday midday - really late”. Cash or card: not stated. The move: Monday, $1 wings and $9 pizzas.
Plaka Gyros — Shop 5 & 6, 673 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Its online ordering storefront, which runs on DoorDash’s platform, lists a Souvlaki at $13. The page gives no description for that item, so we can’t say whether it is a wrap or a skewer; souvlaki can be either. The Glenferrie directory lists it closed Monday, open 11:30am to 9pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, and 11:30am to 9:30pm Friday and Saturday. The directory spells the name “Playka Gyros”. The move: the souvlaki, $13, and ask what comes in it.
Buoy Pizza — 7/14 Walpole Street, Kew VIC 3101
The pizzas on its takeaway menu start at $16.50 for a small, which is over the line. The small focaccia is $13, and the menu lists medium and large sizes too. Focaccia is oven-baked Italian flatbread; the menu offers it with a choice of fresh crushed garlic or herbs. Its site lists dine in and takeaway daily, 12pm to 10pm. The move: the small focaccia, $13.
Amalfi Pizza & Pasta Hawthorn — 4/813 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
A takeaway pizzeria whose own ordering page says “Large Classic Pizza for just $14. Available every Monday only.” That is the whole under-$15 story here, since its other items we read start higher. The Glenferrie directory lists it open late, past 2am on Monday and Tuesday. The move: a large classic pizza on a Monday, $14.
St George Greek Eatery — 802 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Souvlaki here is a wrap: its menu lists a gyros souvlaki “wrapped with lettuce, tzatziki, tomato onion chips” from $13.90, a falafel souvlaki at $14.50 and a haloumi souvlaki at $14.90. The chips go in the wrap, the Melbourne way. The Glenferrie directory lists dinner only, 5pm to 10pm, closed Wednesday. The move: the gyros souvlaki, from $13.90.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we confirmed each place at two independent sources, and copied every price from the venue’s own menu or ordering page: Kew Breadworks’ own pages, Buoy Pizza’s takeaway menu PDF, Amalfi’s own ordering page, St George’s online ordering site, Plaka Gyros’s online order storefront (DoorDash-hosted) and Nevermind Bar’s own site and food PDF. Kew addresses were confirmed against the Kew Junction directory, Hawthorn ones against the Glenferrie Traders Association directory and, for Breadworks and Nevermind, OpenStreetMap. We left out items priced at $15 or more and did not use delivery-app prices. “Under $15” is a line we drew; the venues don’t advertise it. Online prices can differ from counter prices, and some figures are weekly deals that change. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: a sandwich and wraps. They show the kind of food, not any venue’s own.
