Hi Reader,

It's Chris here. I had a bit of a flashback recently that I couldn’t wait to share with you!

It took me all the way back to 1967, when I first encountered pizza – an unforgettable lunchtime moment at RMIT that quickly turned us all into lifelong pizza lovers. I can still remember the entire class gathering around in awe as my friend unveiled this gourmet masterpiece from Lygon Street. We ditched our Vegemite sangas without a second thought!

Fast forward to today, and I found myself reminiscing about that moment while enjoying lunch at Tazio, an Italian gem on Flinders Lane. The pizza (and all the other Italian delicacies) was sensational. It’s definitely earned its spot on my list of favourite Melbourne restaurants.

For a full rundown of our experience at Tazio, scroll down to check out our latest blog post. If you’re in the mood for a delicious meal in the city, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Do you remember your first pizza? I’d love to hear about it – reply and share your story!

All the best,
Chris
