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.
If you searched for Italian food in Truganina, here is the honest result: the places we could verify are pizza takeaways, and no sit-down Italian restaurant made our verified list. Three of the four are in Truganina. Paramount Pizza is in Derrimut, so read this as in and around the suburb.
Each entry gives what the shop publishes about itself, then the prices printed on its own pages. Pizza pages tend to talk up dough and ovens; none of the quotes below name an oven or a dough, so we name none.

Pizza Planet Truganina — 6/475 Leakes Rd, Truganina VIC 3029
Pizza Planet’s own site is headed “Pizza Takeaway in Truganina” and describes “great-tasting Italian delights at affordable prices”. The hours line we copied reads “Mon 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM”, and that is all it gives, so we have no other days to print. The ordering page showed no item prices as text when we read it, so we print no amount for this shop.
Takeaway: the site is built around takeaway, and its ordering page lists a Monday 3:00 PM start, so plan on pick-up.
Smokin’ Joe’s Pizza & Grill Truganina — T14/82 Elmhurst Rd, Truganina VIC 3029
Smokin’ Joe’s site offers “Pick Up or Delivery from your local Smokin’ Joe’s Pizza & Grill”. The hours lines we copied list Friday 3:00pm - 11:00pm and Saturday 11:30am - 11:00pm, so it is one of the later kitchens on this page. The menu spells the classic “Margarita”, with “Double mozzarella + oregano”, and sells it as Small $12.90 or Large $16.90. A margherita is the plain tomato-and-mozzarella pizza that many menus use as their baseline, so this one is the benchmark order.
Smokin’ Joe’s also sells set deals: Single, Couple, Family Feast and a Parma Deal. These are the shop’s own pick-up menu prices, and the order.online listing shows higher delivery prices, so check which one you are paying.
On the menu (copied from smokinjoespizza.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Margarita - Small: $12.90
- Margarita - Large: $16.90
- Single: $22.90
- Couple: $30.90
The classic: the Margarita at Small $12.90, which the menu describes as “Double mozzarella + oregano”.
Fire And Slice Pizza and Desserts — 2/451 Leakes Rd, Truganina VIC 3029
Fire And Slice’s site is headed “Pizza Takeaway in Truganina”, and the hours line we copied reads “Fri 4:00 PM - 12:55 AM”, which runs past midnight. That line covers Friday only. Its ordering page printed the prices as bare numbers, so the dollar signs below are ours. A half-and-half pizza is one base split between two toppings, and the menu prices the Large version at $23.00. The menu also lists a Large Paneer Tikka at $21.00. Paneer is a firm fresh cheese, and tikka means the topping is grilled and spiced.
On the menu (copied from fireandsliceonline.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Large Margherita Pizza: $18.00
- Large Half And Half Pizza: $23.00
- Garlic Bread: $5.00
- Medium Fns Special Vegetarian: $17.00
The classic: the Large Margherita Pizza at $18.00, with Garlic Bread at $5.00 on the side.
Paramount Pizza — 9/1 Elgar Rd, Derrimut VIC 3026
Paramount Pizza is in Derrimut, outside Truganina. Its site describes “Italian food takeaway and delivery”, and the hours line we copied reads “Monday 11:30am - 10:00pm”, which covers Monday only. The page prints the Every Day Pickup Deal LRG Traditional Pizza at $14.90, and describes the deal as “Any Large Traditional Pizza for Pick-up only”. The same page said online orders were not being accepted when we read it, so ring the shop before you drive over.
On the menu (copied from paramountpizza.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Every Day Pickup Deal LRG Traditional Pizza: $14.90
- Everyday Large Traditional Pizza: $24.90
- Everyday Family Traditional Pizza: $29.90
Verdict for: a quick pick-up, since the Every Day Pickup Deal LRG Traditional Pizza at $14.90 is for pick-up only, while the Everyday Large Traditional Pizza is listed at $24.90.
