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 between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a real budget, and it still buys a feed if you read the price board first. Seven places made this list, and every item named below was printed under $15 on the venue’s own page when we read it.
Only one of the seven is inside Officer: Amalfi Pizza. One is in Pakenham and five are in Beaconsfield, so read this as cheap eats in and around Officer. Each heading carries the venue’s own suburb. Menus change and some prices are “starts at” prices, so check before you go.

Amalfi Pizza Officer — Tenant D, 27 Golden Banksia Dr, Officer VIC 3809
Amalfi Pizza’s own Officer page prints a Monday deal: “Large Classic Pizza for just $14. Available every Monday only.” Its site lists opening from 4:00pm each day. When we read the page on 3 October 2026 it said online orders were not being accepted and asked customers to call, so ring first.
On the menu (copied from amalfipizza.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Monday Pizza Day: Large Classic Pizza: $14
Under $15: the large classic pizza at $14, and only on a Monday.
Pie and Mighty — Lot 18/36 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham VIC 3810
Pakenham is just outside Officer. The menu lists a plain beef pie at $7, a spinach, leek and potato pie at $7.90 (diced potato and leek in a garlic and cream sauce, finished with fresh spinach, under the menu’s vegetarian pies) and a chicken parma pie at $8.30. A parma is the pub schnitzel-and-cheese classic, so the pie is a Victorian pub order in handheld form. AGFG lists hours of 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM Monday to Friday and 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekends. The venue’s own site gives its address as lot 18/36 Lakeside Boulevard while AGFG lists 24 Lakeside Blvd, so check the shop number on a map before you drive.
On the menu (copied from pieandmighty.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Chicken parma pie: $8.30
- Spinach, leek and potato pie: $7.90
- Plain beef pie: $7
The move: a plain beef pie at $7, no worries.
Streets of Punjab — 1A/52–62 Old Princes Hwy, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
Its own site lists dine-in, takeaway and home delivery services. The entrees are the cheap end of the menu: mix veg pakora (3pc) at $6.49, a vegetable samosa (2pc) at $7.99 and bread pakora (2pc) at $7.99. Pakora is a gram flour batter fried around vegetables, and the menu describes the bread pakora as bread slices with gram flour, potato and homemade spices. The Indian style veg burger is $13.49 and sits just under the ceiling. Its site lists noon to 10:00 PM Monday to Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday, and shows Wednesday as closed. Its sweets are listed with “Ask” where a price would be, so none are priced here.
On the menu (copied from streetsofpunjab.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Vegetable Samosa (2pc): $7.99
- Mix Veg Pakora (3pc): $6.49
- Bread Pakora (2pc): $7.99
- Indian Style Veg Burger: $13.49
The move: mix veg pakora at $6.49, and skip Wednesdays.
Beaconsfield Pizza — Shop 2, 4 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
The Garlic O’ Twist Tandoori Chicken is $10 on its menu, listed with tandoori chicken, onion, capsicum and cheese. Its site also lists combo deals as pick-up only. We did not find an opening-hours source we could stand behind for this one, so we have printed none.
On the menu (copied from beaconsfieldpizza.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Garlic O’ Twist Tandoori Chicken: $10
The move: the Garlic O’ Twist Tandoori Chicken at $10, then ring about opening times.
Greens & Grains — Shop 1, 46-50 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
This is the lowest price on the page. The menu lists a potato cake that starts at $3 (a deep fried potato cake, the Victorian name for what Sydney calls a scallop), and an espresso at $3.90. The site says prices may vary with add-ons, extras and sizes, and most of its prices are “starts at” prices. Its site lists Friday 07:30 am to 08:30 pm and Saturday 8 am to 08:30 pm.
On the menu (copied from greensandgrains.net.au on 2 October 2026):
- Potato cake (1): $3
- Espresso: $3.90
The move: a potato cake at $3 and an espresso at $3.90, heaps cheaper than a full brekkie.
Something Good — 1/2 Beaconsfield-Emerald Road, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
Two items on its menu sit under $15: a smoked salmon bagel at $14 (listed with cream cheese, capers, pickled onion and roquette) and a ham and cheese toastie at $12. The menu prints bare numbers with no dollar sign. Its own site lists Tuesday to Friday 6:30 to 2:30 and Saturday and Sunday 7:30 to 3, closed Mondays, and OpenStreetMap’s hours agree.
On the menu (copied from somethinggoodcafe.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Smoked salmon bagel: $14
- Ham + cheese toastie: $12
The move: the ham and cheese toastie at $12.
One Fine Kebab — 1/53 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
The regular kebab is A$13.50 and comes with a choice of chicken, lamb or mix, lettuce, tomato, onion and your choice of sauce. A 6 nuggets and chips box is A$10.00. A kids HSP, short for halal snack pack, a tray of chips, meat and sauce, is A$12.90. The street address here comes from OpenStreetMap, and the ordering page we read printed no opening hours, so we have none to give.
On the menu (copied from onefinekebab.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Regular Kebab: A$13.50
- 6 Nuggets + Chips: A$10.00
- Kids HSP: A$12.90
The move: the regular kebab at A$13.50.
