About the restaurant

TAKEAWAY PIZZA is your local.

Located at 535 High Street, Preston Takeaway Pizza doesn't just specialise in New York style thin pizza for a hungry local takeaway trade. We also have a fully stocked bar with huge TIKI party vibes and some crazy good drinks.

It's a low key, any day, any occasion kind of joint.
Inside think tropical wallpaper, a disco ball, bar seats for walk ins and tables for bookings! On the deck it's all about Pina Colada's in the sun. It is Melbourne, however, so naturally we have heaters and a retractable roof.

Pizza, Booze & Good vibes only.

Our traditional Italian style pizza is a hybrid between the Naples and Rome style. We use only the best and freshest ingredients and our dough, made onsite, is something truly exceptional. We have weekly specials to go with our core range of pizzas, small plate offerings and sides.

We take every opportunity to seat guests as per their requests but please note this is not always possible.

About the restaurant

Born from a Melbourne sunset, our pop-up restaurant, Shelanous, evolved into a multi-sensory journey, blending Melbourne’s seasons into each dish. As we transitioned to “Shelanous”, we retained the essence of sharing, embodied in “nous,” meaning “our” or “us” in Hebrew and French.

Loved it! Such a fun, playful and refreashing night out. I loved the music and charisma of the hosts. The food was great and it went for just the right amount of time. Well worth the wait and money. I’ll be back for the next menu/theme !
