Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 2 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
The ceiling on this page is $15, and the rule is simple: an item only gets in if a menu or ordering page prints its price under the ceiling. Five places made it. Two are in Melton South, one is in Weir Views, one is in Melton West and one is in Cobblebank, so this is cheap eats in and around Melton South.
Prices here come from menus and ordering pages, and some ordering pages are delivery storefronts, so treat them as ordering prices. Each entry gives the item, the printed price and a one-line decoder for anyone reading the board cold. The move comes at the end.

Ruby’s own menu prints the Americana pizza, “Napoli base, hot salami, mozzarella”, at AUD$9.99, the first of four size prices on its row. A Napoli base is a tomato sauce base. Hot chips are AUD$6.00 on the same menu, and the site says “Home delivery available to Melton South & surrounding suburbs”.

Dosa Hut’s Melton menu prints the Samosa (1 piece) at $4.00, the Pav Bhaji at $14.95 and a Bowl of Fries at $8.00. A samosa is a fried pastry parcel with a savoury filling, and pav bhaji is a spiced mashed-vegetable curry served with soft bread rolls. The Opalia Plaza listing gives the same unit address, R24.

Pizza Masters (Melton West) — Shop 14b, 523-531 High Street, Melton West VIC 3337
Pizza Masters’ own ordering site lists the Margherita pizza at $14.00 and Garlic Bread at $7.00. A margherita is the plain classic: tomato, mozzarella and basil. The Margherita’s $14.00 is the listed base price, and the capture we read did not show size options.
On the menu (copied from pizzamasters.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Margherita pizza: $14.00
- Garlic Bread: $7.00
Under $15: the Margherita pizza at $14.00 and the Garlic Bread at $7.00 are both listed under the ceiling.
Madame Dolce — Shop 11, Cobblebank Village Shopping Centre, 211 Ferris Road, Cobblebank VIC 3338
The Cobblebank Village centre site says “Enjoy artisanal coffee made with care”, and the shop’s DoorDash page lists a Ham and Cheese Toastie at A$9.50, a Bacon and Egg Focaccia at A$14.00, a Large Latte at A$7.00 and a Hash Brown at A$5.00. Those are DoorDash ordering-page prices, not an in-store menu. DoorDash gives the shop’s address as “11/201 Ferris Rd, Cobblebank VIC 3338”, while the centre’s own site gives “211 Ferris Rd, Cobblebank VIC 3338”; the heading takes the street number from the centre and the shop number from DoorDash. A toastie is a pressed, toasted sandwich, and a focaccia is a soft Italian flatbread roll.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 2 October 2026):
- Bacon and Egg Focaccia: A$14.00
- Ham and Cheese Toastie: A$9.50
- Large Latte: A$7.00
- Hash Brown: A$5.00
The move: the Ham and Cheese Toastie at A$9.50, which is cheaper than the Bacon and Egg Focaccia at A$14.00.
