Tucked into the shops at 1A Grange Road, Toorak, San Lorenzo Pizzeria is a local favourite for anyone who loves a proper wood-fired pizza. The pizzeria's menu reads like a tour of Italy, built on San Marzano tomato, fior di latte mozzarella and good extra virgin olive oil, and it makes ordering a pizza night in Toorak very easy.

Built on Italian ingredients
San Lorenzo leans on classic Italian produce. The tomato pizzas start with San Marzano tomato, and fior di latte is the cheese of choice, with buffalo mozzarella available too. Toppings include 18-month San Daniele prosciutto, prosciutto cotto, hot salami, spicy Calabrian 'nduja, mortadella, porcini and fresh ricotta, while the white pizzas swap the tomato for pistachio pesto, truffle cream or a blend of gorgonzola, pecorino and provolone.
From margherita to something different
There is something for traditionalists and adventurers alike. The menu has the classics, from a simple tomato, basil and fior di latte pizza to versions with capers, olives and anchovies, and a garlic prawn pizza with cherry tomatoes. More unusual choices include a pistachio pesto pizza with mortadella and ricotta, a pork and fennel sausage pizza with friarielli, and a spicy combination of gorgonzola, 'nduja and chilli honey. Vegetarian diners can choose a pizza topped with eggplant, zucchini and capsicum.

Starters and sides
Before the pizza arrives, the starters are worth a look. They range from simple bites dressed with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, or with garlic, parsley and oregano, to buffalo mozzarella on pistachio pesto, fresh ricotta with truffle honey and lemon zest, Calabrian pork and fennel sausages cooked in the wood-fired oven, Roman-style artichokes, and a rocket and parmesan salad with aged balsamic. Italian beer is also on the menu.
