Correction (11 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 9 October 2026 and 11 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A search for Italian in Pakenham tends to turn into a pizza search. This page covers both: five places, all in Pakenham, made up of an Italian restaurant with a printed takeaway menu, a second Italian listing, and three pizza shops.
Each place was checked against at least two sources: OpenStreetMap, its own website and the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG). Prices come from menus we copied for Shanikas, Tonino’s Pizzeria and Amalfi Pizza Pakenham, and this page prints no price for Slice Station or Maloney’s Pizza Pakenham.
Hours are credited to whoever printed them. For Slice Station, Amalfi and Maloney’s we copied no recent date, so their details may have changed and are worth checking before you go.
