Imagine a soft-serve station that provides an all you can eat dessert experience for just $10. Yep….these guys are doing that. Expect some juicy flavours like matcha, and over 30 toppings to choose from. What a perfect way to finish-off, after you’ve gorged on crowd favourites like their soft shell crab noritaco.

This one’s for the taco enthusiasts and pizza fanatics alike, a flavourful and succulent Birria Pizza.

Yep… a pizza you can dip. Like all good things, this juicy collab is only available for a short time, available from the 5th of May at Deep End Pizza’s Fitzroy joint.

Two of Melbourne’s cherished Italian institutions have been busy flipping through their family recipes to create some magic for you. Piccolina and Rocco’s Deli have crafted a dangerously naughty Tiramisù gelato sandwich, a desert that blends tradition with a bit of fun. You can expect a fluffy savoiardi sponge soaked in coffee and marsala, a touch more marsala with the ganache, and a mascarpone gelato, coated in Belgian dark chocolate with a huge dusting of cocoa powder to finish.
