About Shop225 Pasta
Known as the best pizza in Australia in 2025, Shop225 is now proudly awarded Best Pasta in Asia Pacific 2026. We craft every dish from scratch. Our homemade pasta, gnocchi, and sauces are made in-house daily using time-honoured Italian recipes, because shortcuts have no place in our kitchen.
But great food should be for everyone. That's why we offer gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and halal options across our entire menu, without ever compromising on flavour.
From a classic carbonara to something bold and new, there's always a perfect bowl waiting for you.
