About Forno 46

Just steps from the shoreline, Forno 46 is inspired by the classic art of Neapolitan pizza and powered by fresh Australian produce building the contemporany Napoletana Pizza. We’re building a kitchen culture from day one — one that values professionalism without ego, where quality and customer service come first, and where people support each other to grow. The vibe? Chill but sharp. It’s about mastering your craft while delivering food we’re proud of, every time — whether it’s for dine-in, takeaway, or delivery.

The Dough is the Heart

At Forno 46, pizza isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are. And it all starts with the dough.

We honour the Neapolitan tradition:
- A slow-fermented dough, cold-proofed for 24–48 hours
- Made from quality Tipo “00” flour, water, salt, and minimal yeast
- Stretched by hand, baked at high heat for that signature airy, blistered crust

This is pizza as craft — living dough, made daily, handled with care. If you know what we’re talking about (or want to learn), you’re already one of us.
