Super-Popular All-Vegan Pizzeria Red Sparrow Is Opening a Second Venue in Prahran

Good news for plant-based pizza fiends living south of the Yarra — the city's first and only all-vegan pizzeria has another big expansion in the works, with plans to bring its covetable meat-free slices to a new Prahran outpost. And southside fans don't have to wait too long, either, with the opening slated for this August.

Red Sparrow has won plenty of fans — both of the vegan and carnivorous varieties — since opening in Collingwood in early 2017. So much so, that last year the owners bought the space next door, knocked out a wall and doubled the venue's size to cope with the crowds.

Now, they're letting southside punters have a piece of the pie, snapping up a second space in the heart of Chapel Street. The new digs will be dishing up much the same as the original, heroing plant-based pizzas and a stack of local craft beer.

Hit toppings made famous by the Collingwood outpost include the likes of the Patatas Bravas – a smokey tomato base loaded with potato, parmesan, meat-free chorizo and chipotle aioli – and another hearty combination of red onion, mock sausage, house-pickled jalapeños and mozzarella.

Red Sparrow Southside is slated to open on Chapel Street, Prahran in late August. We'll let you know more details when they drop.
