About Us
Hardware Lane institution since 1990, Max on Hardware is a cobblestone laneway pizzeria-bar-restaurant for al-fresco Australian-Italian dining. The official About page centres signature hand-crafted pizzas alongside steaks, burgers, pasta, risottos and shareable mains; What's On Melbourne and the 2026 dinner menu highlight chicken Max (feta-stuffed breast with rosti and herb cream), seafood paella with chorizo and saffron rice, and chargrilled kangaroo. Nightly live entertainment, a 70-seat function room with private bar, and group set menus ($34–$60pp on function pages) suit tourists and office crowds. Google Maps and Waze list the venue active with daily 11:30am service; book by phone or the site booking form.
