In the picturesque heart of Byron Bay, a culinary revolution is unfolding—with pizza taking centre stage. Spearheaded by the dynamic duo that brought pizza prowess to The Roadhouse, chefs Leonardo Giorgetti and Maurizio Gabbrielli are redefining pizza by blending Italian tradition with scientific precision. Bay Pizza Lab isn’t your typical pizzeria; it’s a culinary destination where science meets art, simplicity and quality reign supreme, and artisanal cocktails and Australian-made wines invite you to sip and stay a while.
A destination for foodlovers
Good vibes and exceptional food define Bay Pizza Lab. Open Wednesday to Monday from 5pm to 9pm, it’s the perfect spot for a casual weekday dinner or a Saturday night out with friends. It’s a place where the pizzas are served piping hot, beverages are crafted with care, and every visit feels like a reunion with old friends. Happy hour from 4pm to 5pm serves up margherita pizza by the slice with your choice of beer, spritz, or wine. And for those nights you’d prefer the comfort of your home, you can order your favourites for takeaway online.
Menu highlights
Start your meal with Italian-style antipasto plates ideal for sharing amongst friends—think fresh burrata, heirloom tomatoes, and housemade garlic bread. The pizzas are truly exceptional with bold flavours and a base that is both perfectly light and crispy—a true testament to Giorgetti and Gabbrielli’s dough mastery. Don’t leave without trying the ‘Lab Slab’—their Roman-style pizza featuring a new flavour each week. With cocktails infused with the likes of roasted pineapple and rhubarb, and wines from local Australian winemakers, each dish is complemented perfectly. And for dessert? Their panettone slice topped with mascarpone cream and the tiramisu are non-negotiable.
Whether it’s the scientific precision of the pizzas or the masterful cocktails, every item on the menu is a celebration of quality and craftsmanship. Come for the pizza, stay for the experience.
