If there's one thing Mona Vale locals know, it’s good pizza. And I Love Pizza on Waratah Street has become a firm favourite for families, footy fans, and foodies. Step inside, and it’s easy to see why: friendly staff, a buzzing kitchen, and a menu that strikes the perfect balance between old-school comfort and new flavours.
Born on The Beaches, I Love Pizza opened its very first store in Balgowlah back in 2012. What began as a humble, family-run pizzeria has now grown into a 21-store success story, with locations popping up all over Sydney and more national stores on the way (hello, Queensland!). How lucky are we to have three stores right on The Beaches – the original in Balgowlah, Dee Why, and another right in the centre of Mona Vale!
Apart from lush pizza sauces and delicious desserts, the local team here is proud to be a part of the neighbourhood and are genuinely grateful for all the support they’ve received from day one. And their passion for great Italian food, service with a smile, and their community has made them a favourite with locals. Every pizza here is handmade using fresh, high-quality dough, premium ingredients, and their own signature sauces crafted in-house. Believe us, we’ve tried enough of them to know how special they are!
After a classic crowd-pleaser? Try the Australiana and Cheese Pepperoni. Want more meat? The Meat and More, Pulled Pork, and Peri Peri Chicken will hit the spot. And vegetarian lovers will adore the Wild Mushroom. Plus, there are plant-based options with premium toppings.
It’s not just the pizzas that have us hooked because the sides are seriously good too. Think crunchy garlic bread, crispy wings, zesty salads, and sweet, indulgent desserts like Nutella Calzone and Biscoff Churros. If you want to feed the whole family without blowing the budget, their value combos and midweek specials have got you covered every time.
Whether you’re grabbing a takeaway after the beach, hosting a movie night, or feeding the kids after soccer practice, I Love Pizza makes it easy to enjoy a perfect meal with zero stress. And, they’re always up for a friendly chat while your pizza is in the oven. Next time you’re in Mona Vale, drop by. You might come for the pizza, but you’ll stay for the warm welcome, community feel, and delicious flavours that started right here on The Beaches.
