One of my favourite Melbourne restaurants - Edit
I’ve been several times now and have a great experience each time. The food is incredible and the staff are always great. I always keep an eye out on the specials which are usually winners (but so is everything else on the menu). One of my favourite places in Melbourne that I always want to return to.

Unbeatable wood fired pizza - Edit
I don’t have a lot to add to the other reviews except to say, if you haven’t been to Red Sparrow Pizza, you don’t know what you’re missing. I have been to many, many pizza places over the years, including exclusively vegetarian and vegan places (many now defunct), and this is by far the best. I took friend who eat meat and they agreed if I hadn’t told them the pizza was vegan they wouldn’t have noticed, it’s that good. Highly recommend the cheeseburger pizza, but they’re all great.

Great pizza with great atmosphere - Edit
British traveller visiting Melbourne. Made the effort to journey slightly out of the city centre to visit this place after a few recommendations. I had the Puttanesca pizza with added pepperoni a side of wood fired broccolini (or tenderstem broccoli to fellow Brits) with a dessert of salted caramel cheesecake.
Read moreThe broccoli and pizza were really good, the pepperoni I added probably wasn’t necessary in the end but I still enjoyed eating it. The cheesecake was really good managing to keep a lot of the traditional dairy properties so definitely an impressive vegan alternative.
Drinking only the table water the above cost me $58 or £30 which I think is great value.
For tourist like myself I did enjoy sitting outside with the local trams driving right up past you.

Absolute dream! - Edit
I took the G.O.A.T pizza and for the first time in my life it was the best pizza i ever had! I like pizza but this time i just LOVED it! It was perfect. The pine seed on top were just the cherry on the vegan cake.

Goat pizza was incredible - Edit
We had a pizza each and struggled to finish them, would probably share 1 and get a side as they looked delicious. Delicious pizza!!

The best pizza! - Edit
BBQ Chicken wins. Every time. Don't get anything else. Although the jalapenos are spicy. The specials can be good from time to time. Rarely drawn to their veggie heavy pizzas. Always a winner with non vegan friends.

Ordered a couple of to go pizzas which were so incredible we did exactly the same thing the next evening. If you're in Melbourne Red Sparrow is a MUST.

Inconsistent - Edit
Sometimes I get a pizza here and it is incredible, other times it is a let down.
Read more4 stars for being all vegan, but it is hard to know what quality I'm going to get when I order here.
It feels heretical to criticise a vegan Melbourne establishment, but I am incredibly brave, so I am willing to do so for the good of humankind. I believe there are better vegan pizzas out there
Tiggy
I agree the quality is inconsistent. Over the years my experience of RS has varied quite a lot and my reviews/ratings have ranged from average-minus to excellent. However, I would rather risk disappointment here than give my vegan dollars to a place that supports animal abuse, no matter how consistently delicious their (market-driven) vegan option might be.

Without a doubt the best vegan pizza I’ve tried. Lots of great toppings to choose from. Had a group dinner here and other non-vegans in attendance also loved it. Highly recommend.

Good tasty pizza and an extensive vegan menu - Edit
This is another restaurant easily accessible via tram 86. The insides are dark and the seats are comfortable. The food seems tasty. For one whole pizza and a drink you can expect to pay about $30. There is a surcharge for using a credit card. #Veganuary

Innovative menu - Edit
I like that Red Sparrow is innovative with their pizzas, there's always something new to try. It's sad when something I really love is only on the menu for a limited time (eg. The HSP pizza was amazingg), but I like being able to try new flavours.
Read moreThe Banh Mi pizza is a great idea, I think it could have been improved with the addition of fried shallots, and more coriander and cucumber. It was quite sweet due to the hoisin sauce, and char sui pork.
I thought the pizzas were a little too soft/doughy and not crisp enough, this time.

Incredible pizza - Edit
Really cool venue serving up what was possibly the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had 🤤 The buffalo “not wings” with ranch sauce and pickles were also delicious. We tried the G.O.A.T. pizza with vegan “goat’s cheese”, mozzarella, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, rocket and pine nuts - the vegan cheese was so cheesy and full of flavour.
Read moreAmazing, wish we had one back home in Brissy!
Pros: cosy venue, perfect wood fired pizza bases, quality ingredients
Cons: a little pricey - $28 pizza

Tasty pizzas - Edit
Great vegan pizzas. We had the GOAT and burger pizza. Both good. Burger pizza very good. Also Greek salad with vegan feta. Passion fruit cheesecake. A little expensive. Could sit outside and take dog.

Taking traditional to a new level. - Edit
I recently visited Red Sparrow Pizza for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised with how tasty their food and the overall experience was.
Read moreI was a little apprehensive with their 'creative' topping choices, but obviously a lot of care has gone into choosing high quality ingredients to make some truly tasty vegan pizzas.
I visited the restaurant on a Saturday at around 2pm with my family and it was already busy - so a reservation may be needed! Thankfully they were able to accommodate us without a reservation.
Upon entering, we were instantly greeted in such a professional and welcoming manner, as well as throughout the time we were there.
We ordered:
- BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Garlic Bread
- Cheeseburger Pizza
- Plain Cheese
- And a cocktail, wine and juices
The food and drinks came out relatively quickly and it all looked amazing.
I didn't personally get to try the plain cheese pizza, as the kids loved and demolished it. The BBQ chicken had jalapeños on it, which I wasn't expecting (I didn't read all the ingredients lol), but the pizza came together really well. It probably did need some more 'mock chicken' pieces imo.
The cheeseburger pizza flavours surprisingly worked, and the garlic bread was honestly one of the best.
The atmosphere was a bit dark where we were seated, but the place had an overall great atmosphere.
I put off coming here because of the interesting topping choices, but honestly all of what we ate was spot on. Definitely keen to try more of the menu in the future!
Pros: Over a dozen vegan pizza options, Good range of food, drinks and desserts, Tasty wood fired pizzas
Cons: Dark dining area
