Correction (9 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

This page answers one search: where to find Italian pasta and pizza in Rowville. The honest count is three places, all in Rowville, so it is a short list rather than a ranking.

La Porchetta Rowville is the sit-down restaurant, while Amalfi Pizza & Pasta and Big Al’s Pizza are pizza-and-pasta shops with takeaway listings. We checked each against two independent sources, including the venues’ own pages, the centre directories and AGFG, and we quote their wording instead of describing food we have not tasted.

Only La Porchetta had menu prices we could copy, and those are printed as size ranges, so the page gives the lower figure with a hedge. The other two have no prices here.

La Porchetta Rowville — 1171 Stud Road, Rowville VIC 3178

La Porchetta Rowville is at 1171 Stud Road, and its own site describes a “delicious Italian menu” with “Book a table” and “ordering take away online” on offer. The same site says it has “capacity for large functions and ample parking” and lists “Free wifi”. Its ordering site tags the VG Veggie Patch Pizza as vegan and says “Our garlic bread is vegan too!”. The menu text describes its Margherita as “Tomato base, mozzarella and oregano”, the plainest test of any pizza list, and we could not find opening hours on the page.

On the menu (copied from rowville.order.laporchetta.com.au/menu on 5 October 2026):

  • Margherita (pizza): $15.00 - $24.90
  • Lasagna: $22.00 - $26.00
  • Carbonara: $24.00 - $28.00

Menu tells: La Porchetta’s menu text prints Margherita (pizza) from $15.00, Lasagna from $22.00 and Carbonara from $24.00, each shown as a size range with sizes not labelled and marked SOLD OUT when we copied it, which looks like online ordering being closed at the time rather than the kitchen running out.

Amalfi Pizza & Pasta Rowville — Shop 22, 1100 Wellington Road, Rowville VIC 3178

Amalfi Pizza & Pasta is in Shop 22 at Wellington Village, which the centre places at the far west end of the complex near ALDI and the roundabout. The centre’s listing says “We offer classic, deluxe, gourmet, and custom pizzas at your request”, which points to a tiered pizza list, though we could not find a published menu to check. The listing is headed “Amalfi Pizza & Pasta (Take Away)”, and AGFG tags it Delivery and Child Friendly. Hours differ between listings: the centre page reads “7 days 12pm–1 am” and AGFG reads “Sat 4:00 PM - 2:00 AM”, so treat both as listings rather than fact.

BYO / takeaway: The centre’s listing says Take Away and AGFG tags Delivery, while BYO is not stated.

Big Al’s Pizza Rowville — Shop 33, Stud Park Shopping Centre, 1101 Stud Road, Rowville VIC 3178

Big Al’s Pizza is Shop 33 in Stud Park Shopping Centre, which the centre lists at “Ground Level, located next to Angel Dental”. The centre’s page calls it “your destination for great tasting pizza and pasta” and mentions “chicken parma, ribs and wings”. AGFG, a third-party listing, shows Monday to Wednesday 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and tags it Child Friendly with Halal Options. We could not find a working website of its own, so the centre directory, OpenStreetMap and AGFG are the sources, and no prices were captured.

Verdict for: Anyone at Stud Park who wants pizza or pasta to pick up, since the centre lists it as available for pick up and delivery and BYO is not stated.
