julius pizzeria

saturday at julius without a booking? no worries! we arrived at about 4pm and it was nice and quiet. shared the prawns for entrée and they were sweet and juicy with lovely pickled mussels and lemony saffron sauce. the chicken involtini was amazing! i want to eat it again right now! stuffed with pecorino and wrapped in pancetta -wow. the steak was so good he couldn't wait to get started hence the photo😉🖑 nice italian wine and friendly attentive staff to boot. what's not to love?

julius has a buzzing atmosphere, enthusiastic staff and delicious wood fire oven pizzas.
we came early (around 6pm) and there was ready a 30 minute wait for a table for 2 but the wait was worth it and they have spots at the bar to sit at with a glass of wine when you wait for a table.

best pasta ever!!!!! pizza is good as well, but a little bit salty for me. i strongly recommend this shop!!! but it is too busy, the space is quite narrow. and i feel the light there is too dark, i prefer brighter environment.
besides, my friend and i ordered one pasta to share, and the staffs there are so nice! they made two small size for us!!!!
overall, i will go there regularly. the location is so convenient as well.

i have been wanting to find the best authentic woodfire pizza around brisbane and oh my lord did julius deliver.
make sure to arrive early because this place gets super busy. julius has a real italian atmosphere to it, with the customers bustling in and out, to the friendly italian manager out the front taking reservations and making you feel part of the furniture. it’s a beautiful simple yet elegant restaurant that delivers exceptional food.
i started with the calamari for entree which was cooked to perfection, the light batter was super crispy and seasoned beautifully.
the next dish was the beef ragu penne which was also flavoursome. the ragu itself was very rich with slow cooked beef throughout.
the tartufo pizza would have to be the stand out. wow this pizza packs a punch, with the flavours of truffle, smoked bacon and portobello mushrooms shining through on the most delicate, airy pizza base you could possibly find. with your first mouthful you soon realise that a lot of love has gone into the preparation of the dough.
i definitely will be back here and my quest for the best pizza is over.

if you’re looking for a pizzeria that delivers a quality wood fired pizza then julius is a choice you won’t regret. we dined in a beautiful, bustling, well decorated restaurant with a small bar and tables both inside and out. a delicious espresso martini while waiting around 10 minutes to be seated set the tone for what would be a very enjoyable dining experience. we ordered 2 pizza’s the tartufo and the prosciutto and both were absolutely delicious. the crusts were thin and cooked to perfection and both were well seasoned with full and bold flavors. we also ordered the pappardelle which was well seasoned and full of flavor. for dessert we shared the pannacotta as we were so full from our mains. this was the only area where we thought there could be noticeable improvement. next time i will be trying the tiramisu. overall great dining experience. highly recommend

incredible pizza! we this time only sampled the pizza and not the pasta and we were left wanting more and more after each bite.

the pizza was simply mouthwatering. the ingredients were fresh, the red and white base pizzas were both cooked to perfection and the toppings where generous and of high quality.

the fried ricotta dumplings were to savour for! warm straight out of the fryer they just melted in your mouth with a perfect balance of sweet and savour from the dough!

the interior ambience and decor is also very nice and if you get a seat near the pizza oven you will definitely be kept warm on a cold night!

cannot recommend this place enough!

the food is very good but this place really gets my points for the staff. i go here  whenever i'm heading to qpac for a concert. they are the best staff i've seen in brisbane. they accommodate/welcome/take orders etc etc  without flinching under the highest pressure. it creates a great buzz for the restaurant as a whole. food wise... pizza and pasta probably best in brisbane. only lost a mark because i can't get their online early booking to work :)

wow! i can't believe it has taken me so long to try julius. firstly it is a gorgeous, bustling, trendy restaurant. we were lucky to get a seat inside on a busy sunday lunch without a booking. 
we were served a generous serve of complimentary bread which was divine, i could seriously just eat that warm sourdough all day long. but i am glad i left room for the pasta.... or more accurately,  good thing i ran out of bread to eat. i had a bowl of duck pappardelle, bold simple round flavours, not very pretty on the plate, and may have done well to have some kind of contract.. even a sprinkling of continental parsley, but still - wow! the pasta was (of course) made in house and it was cooked exactly to my liking. b had the seafood linguine and all the pieces of seafood were cooked to their various states of perfection and his sauce was delicate, delicious, but so much more subtle after having mine. i wouldn't hesitate to order either dish again. and don't forget the bread!

julius pizzeria is a very very famous italian restaurant located in one of brisbane’s laneway fish lane (south brisbane). i’ve always heard and read many good reviews about this restaurant but never had the chance to try because they are always extremely busy, especially during dinner time. in fact, i went there twice in the evening at separate occasions but they were so full and the waiting period was almost an hour! that was how busy they were! they also do not accept bookings during their peak period (dinner time), which was quite understandable considering how busy they were! one thing to take not of is that they do not open on mondays.

food is always 10/10. unfortunately the service is unfriendly and cold. the floor staff have a lot to learn about genuine good hospitality and this is the only downfall for julius. i'll keep coming back though as the food is top notch. be warned, this place is busy and wait times can be long. may 2019 came back for a great dinner. service has improved 100%. wanted to update this experience as things have changed. great job julius team.

a sunday afternoon snack was on the cards and i manage to park my car in south brisbane. at 4.30pm we walk past julius and surprise, vacant outdoor tables! we trot over to the welcoming waiters and as we are being seated i order the tartufo pizza ($24). sipping on our cold drinks we see the restaurant is filling up fast.

our appetising tartufo pizza arrives hot and it smells wonderful. the smoked bacon, portobello mushrooms, truffle paste, stracchino and mozzarella come together beautifully atop a light (dry) pizza base. what a great sunday snack! thank you julius pizzeria!

do yourself a favour - next time you’re catching up with friends head to julius, buy a bottle of prosecco and a couple of pizzas and just love life. it will come as no surprise to any brissy-based italian lovers that julius is owned by the same charismatic pair who own beccofinos in teneriffe. so expect some more “delizioso” pizza options – like the bresaola e caprino pizza, with its’ beef and zucchini = devine. the gamberi piccanti pizza is popular with the seafood lovers and as for the pasta, can you really go past the duck ragu? our tip – make an online booking for 5:45 and enjoy a few aperol spritz before ordering a bit later – because here’s the kicker, julius don’t really take bookings. they don’t take phone bookings, or any booking for a group bigger than 11, or for bookings any time after 5:45pm. and considering this place is popular with the qpac crowd, there can be quite the wait time here.

yes yes. the service here is very good. great atmosphere. above all the pizza is top notch. i am an absolute pizza snob and this place rates highly for me. the crust and the sauce is perfect. i don't love the little bocconcini that is used on the margarita ect. and wish it was more rustic or buffalo mozz so it would be more spread out. but thats just me being picky. order something more interesting or upgrade your cheese/s. its a great pizza place for brisbane standard.

this the best pizzeria in brisbane. this little gem is hidden next to the fish lane at southbank. the food is gorgeous. we had wood fired pizzas (which as come in kids) and they were traditional italian pizzas. must try!

this place is the best. can book the table but you can always waiting for a table at the bar. everyone is so friendly and funny. great espresso martini, delicious white wine, rich and smooth red wine rages, amazing food and fantastic service.
this place absolutely worth to wait for table. i like and recommend any/every manu from entree to dessert.
just go there and wait at the bar having a espresso martini or beautiful italian wine until you get the table. it’s all good here. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
