What's On The Menu at The Block?

Wondering what's on the menu? Well, if you're in the mood for some gourmet pizza and delicious salads, then this is the place for you! We absolutely love the sounds of every single option they offer in their menu, but there are a few that really stands out to us and makes our mouths water!

For pizza, we highly suggest their Nutty Professor Pizza – topped with Bocconcini, roasted butternut, Danish feta, sunflower seeds and sweet chilli. Perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. And if you want something with a little bit of meat, the Julius Caesar Pizza is a lovely choice – topped with Bocconcini, Parma ham, brie, fig preserve and rocket.

And let's not forget to mention their dessert pizzas! Take your pick from their Monte Christo – a 20cm pizza topped with Nutella, vanilla ice cream and crushed hazelnuts. Or choose the Four Seasons – 20cm pizza with apricot jam and mascarpone.

As for the salads, there are four different choice for you to choose from on the menu, but we thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Caesar – a salad jam-packed with cos lettuce, soft boiled egg, croutons, chicken, avo or bacon, parmesan and a delicious dressing.

Live Music Sundays

Relax at The Block on Sundays with their Live Music Sunday sessions! Every Sunday, they will host live music sessions featuring talented local artists and performers. Add some pizza and vino to that and you'll have yourself a lovely wind down before the start of a fresh week. Follow them on Facebook to stay up to date on their music lineups.
