Best Pizza in Truganina — 2026 Guide

Truganina has a pizza scene that punches well above what you’d expect. The suburb runs unpretentious, multicultural, value-driven — and the food reflects it. We’ve eaten at every pizza spot in the area and these are the ones worth your time and money.

Expect to pay $18-32 per person for a proper sit-down meal. The cheaper end gets you wood-fired, the higher end gets you Neapolitan done properly.

Our Top Picks

1. Old Social — 369 Margaret Drive

Hours: Tue-Sat 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10:30pm Price: $22-41 per person

Old Social is the benchmark for pizza in Truganina. The New York-style slice is what most people order, and for good reason — it’s consistently excellent. The margherita is the other standout, done with genuine care rather than the paint-by-numbers approach you get at chain spots.

The room seats about 45 and fills on Friday and Saturday nights. Midweek you’ll walk straight in. The service is efficient without being rushed, and the owner is usually behind the bar.

Order this: The sourdough base ($22) as a main, plus truffle mushroom to share. Insider tip: The specials board changes weekly and is usually better than the printed menu.

2. Hazel’s — 53 Plenty Street

Hours: Tue-Sat 5:30pm-10pm Price: $19-38 per person

This is the locals’ pick — less polished than Old Social but arguably more flavour per dollar. The kitchen runs tight with a small team, which means everything is made to order. The Neapolitan here has a depth that comes from doing the same dish three hundred times until it’s muscle memory.

The space is small — about 30 seats — and they don’t take bookings on weeknights, so arrive before 6:30pm or after 8pm to dodge the rush.

Best dish: The wood-fired ($19). Simple, executed perfectly. Pro tip: BYO wine on Tuesdays ($5 corkage).

3. Ruby’s — 103 Oak Lane

Hours: Mon-Sat 5:30pm-11pm Price: $19-28 per person

Ruby’s opened in late 2025 and has already built a following. The menu is short — eight dishes — which is usually a good sign. Everything on it is considered. The margherita ($24) is the dish that gets photographed most, but the truffle mushroom ($28) is the one regulars order.

When to go: Sunday lunch is the sweet spot. Same food, half the crowd.

4. Hugo Depot — 287 Plenty Street

Hours: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-11pm Price: $23-33 per person

The takeaway option on this list. Hugo Depot doesn’t have table service — you order at the counter and either take it home or eat at the three outdoor tables. The quality-to-price ratio is the best in Truganina. The New York-style slice ($23) is the standout.

5. Black Cellar — 287 Margaret Drive

Hours: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10:30pm Price: $17-32 per person

A solid all-rounder. Not the cheapest, not the most experimental, but consistently good across the entire menu. The Neapolitan ($28) and the wood-fired ($23) are both worth ordering. The wine list is surprisingly thoughtful for a pizza place.
