   We visited DOC Pizza and Mozzarella Bar with high expectations given their popularity, but unfortunately, we left very disappointed. While the pizza itself was undeniably good, the service and overall welcoming experience were terrible. From the moment we arrived, the staff seemed rushed and unfriendly, giving us the impression that they were more focused on getting us out the door than ensuring we had a pleasant experience. There was no warmth or hospitality, which made the atmosphere feel unwelcoming. Considering how highly regarded this place is, we were truly let down. Good food alone is not enough when the service falls so short. Let me know if you’d like any edits!

   Wait staff were exceptional. On arrival we had a table upstairs, but as a member of our party was unable to walk up stairs, this posed a in issue. No problem! The staff quickly manoeuvred and set a table for 8 on the ground floor. No easy task on a busy Sunday night. My dad asked me if the head waiter was a close friend cos he was so kind and helpful. Every bite brilliant. THANK YOU DOC!!

   One of the worst wood fire places I’ve been to. Food was cold, toppings were very minimal and didn’t have the Smokey wood fire places. Seems like they used a normal oven instead of a wood fire oven

   Dissapointing. Food was nice but a terrible choice for larger bookings. The wouldn't let us have the small.cake we brought for child's bday, Bill was over $500 and we weren't allowed to split it between two families and pay half each. Just made things awkward and difficult. It's no hassle for restaurants to allow for multiple payments and to let a family share a cake before leaving. Also, can't buy white wine by the glass or omit any toppings from a pizza! So many petty rules. Very unaccomadating. Not a family friendly venue. Will not go back.

   Italian experience with a modern twist. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by an artsy ambience that oozes charm and character. The walls adorned with Italian-inspired artwork and the lighting give it a cozy, yet vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal or a casual get-together. The real star, however, is the pizza. Each slice is a masterpiece, crafted with high-quality ingredients that make every bite a delight. The thin, crispy crust is baked to perfection, and the toppings—whether it's the classic Quattro Formaggi or a more adventurous Pizza Salsiccia—are fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned. The balance of flavours is impeccable, reminding you of traditional Italian pizzas you'd find in Naples. Adding to the experience is the lively Carlton neighbourhood. With the energy of the nearby streets filtering in, the restaurant benefits from the buzzing yet laid-back vibe that makes dining here even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or a dinner to wind down the day. For those craving a taste of Italy, with an artistic and authentic atmosphere, this pizza spot in Carlton is hard to beat. Buon appetito!
