Best Pizza on the Gold Coast: Wood-Fired and Craft Pizzerias Worth Visiting

The Gold Coast's pizza scene has a strong craft and wood-fired contingent concentrated primarily in Burleigh Heads and the southern beach suburbs. James Street and the surrounding Burleigh Heads precinct, which has become one of Queensland's best dining destinations, has several quality pizzerias using sourdough bases and local produce toppings. Miami and Nobby Beach have their own neighbourhood pizza options with a more relaxed surf-suburb character. Broadbeach's restaurant strip has Neapolitan-style options suited to the visitor market. Palm Beach on the southern end of the coast has developed a quality-conscious local dining scene with good pizza representation. Many of the better Gold Coast pizzerias run wood-fired or stone-deck ovens; Friday and Saturday bookings at the more popular Burleigh spots are strongly advisable in peak season (June to September and Christmas).
