The Forge Pizzeria Restaurants

Not even pizza. Its warmed flatbread with cold salad and deli meats on top. Tries far too hard. Very expensive, pizza for two and a drink each was $ 80. Would have gotten an actual pizza that was better from Pizza Hut. If overpriced fancy for fancy’s sake flatbread is your thing go for it, but if you want actual pizza avoid like the plague.

What is it about rapid service in Ballarat? The food was on the table minutes after we ordered. Limited menu but good. Excellent pizza bases but the taco pizza special is a mistake. Try the homemade gnocchi. You won’t get better! The amatriciana special is a winner. Also Capri (sic) salad. Good selection of drinks. This place is very popular. If you are in town for an event I recommend booking. (What I’m trying to say is that all the cyclists will be here. We saw Matt Sherwin too.)

Wow! Just wow! Forge pizza is just wow!
we went for forge for dinner without a reservation and they still managed to seat us, without any hesitation. The place was packed and it was great to get a table still.
Now to the pizza! All I can say is Holy Shit that’s good pizza! The tastes were well matched and just so tasty I cannot explain it. The only thing I didn’t like was that the pizza topping was slightly sparse and centralised not spread out across the whole pizza. They use very little cheese to hold the pizza to the base but that’s what makes it so unique. And they also use no sauce on their bases which also was great in my mind!
The staff are all very friendly and make good recommendations from the menu and the special board.
The price is slightly high but I think for the quality of the pizza and service of the staff it’s well worth it.
If you haven’t been here yet, you MUST! If you are staying in ballarat for the night I strongly suggest visiting Forge!

Warm, friendly and relaxed — this was the perfect place to warm up after a night out at Sovereign Hill. Can’t believe this place doesn’t have more reviews !
Family had a bunch of pizzas — none left! Fresh ingredients and that wood fired taste was just what the Dr. ordered on this cold winters night.
Volcano had bite and the pulled pork pizza w fresh apple was great. Signature pumpkin salad was excellent. Recommended.

What a wonderful surprise, pizzas were sensational. The pumpkin salad was amazing– a must try if you are there!

We went to this pizzeria for a friends birthday and it was absolutely amazing! The staff was very attentive, although a bit anxious to take your plate away prior to you being finished. The pizzas (and we tried almost everyone they make) were amazing. I especially enjoyed the lamb one! The strawberry dessert pizza is awesome as well!
The selection of alcoholic drinks is great as well! Definitely a go to if you’re down in Ballarat.
Did I mention yet that they are also kid friendly? In the back of the restaurant next to the toliets there’s a little area with toys and a chalk board for the kids to draw!
Stop by there and try out their yummy food!
