About Blue Velvet Adelaide

Mile End’s go-to pizza counter trades suburban shortcuts for slow-fermented Roman sourdough. Diners point straight to the blistered cornicione—airy, crisp, and structured to hold its own. Slices of eggplant parmigiana pizza share table space with hot garlic bread, but smart orders leave room for dessert. Behind the counter, scratch-made tiramisu and celebration cakes roll out alongside a dedicated house tea program.

  • Roman Sourdough Crust: Light, airy sourdough with a blistered crust forms the foundation for both pizzas and garlic bread.
  • Eggplant Parmigiana Pie: Layered with fried eggplant cubes and rich sauce, this staff recommendation remains a frequent table pick.
  • In-House Pastry & Teas: Scratch-baked celebration cakes and classic tiramisu pair with a dedicated tea selection and sommelier service.

  • Light, Digestible Roman-Style Dough

    Pizzas are prepared with a slow-fermented, digestible Roman-style sourdough base that yields a remarkably crisp, airy crust without leaving diners feeling heavy.

    The pizza dough is light, airy, and beautifully crafted, it doesn't sit in your stomach like some heavier doughs.

    The gluten free pizza was as good as the regular.
