Salt Meats Cheese Opens The Pizza Box

The gourmet grocers at Salt Meats Cheese have swung open the steel doors on their latest tasty venture: a pizza oven nestled inside a ten-foot-tall shipping crate. Shipped all the way from Naples, the traditional wood-fired oven will be the roaring heart of the fittingly named The Pizza Box, an eat-in pizzeria in the middle of their Alexandria warehouse store.

Serving everything from margheritas to lobster tail with fontina and thyme, The Pizza Box aims to combine the very best of traditional and contemporary toppings — taking its inspiration from modern pizzerias in Italy. In addition to the above, options include typical fare like prosciutto and chorizo varieties, as well as more upper-crust combinations such as Tasmanian smoked salmon with gorgonzola, walnuts, capers and rocket, and wagyu bresaola with parmesan, caramelised onion, rocket and balsamic on a white pizza base.

But it's not all pizza all at once. Entrees include a selection of cured meats, cheeses and chutneys, beef meatballs in tomato sauce, as well as your choice of pumpkin, spinach ricotta or bolognese arancini. You’ve also got plenty of dessert options, including chocolate mousse, tiramisu and gelato with Limoncello sauce.

The Pizza Box trades from 6pm to 10pm, with Salt Meats Cheese also offering 20 percent off retail items for anyone who shops during extended hours. If you’d rather eat at home, the team are offering delivery — you can order via Menulog and get 25 percent off your first delivery.
