Richmond Gets a Taste of Pinsa Perfection with Flour Child
The St Kilda institution that’s been dishing out Roman-style pinsa and cocktails with flair has just landed in Richmond. Flour Child has officially opened its doors on Church Street, giving Melbourne another go-to spot for those who like their pizza with a side of glamour.
Taking over a historic dance studio, Flour Child Richmond blends old-world charm with modern vibes. The space now boasts a retractable rooftop, plush banquette seating, and an impressive central bar that stretches across the first floor. With over 10,000 bottles of liquor on display, including some rare finds, it’s a bar lover’s paradise.
Just like its St Kilda sister, Flour Child Richmond celebrates modern Italian fare. Expect their famous Roman-style pinsa—crafted with a blend of soy, rich flour, and 00 wheat flour, then rested for 48 hours for that perfect crispy-yet-soft texture. This isn’t just pizza; it’s a masterclass in dough.
The menu, overseen by Naples-born Executive Chef Alessandro Bellomunno, goes beyond pinsa. Cheese lovers, take note: there’s a dedicated salumi and cheese bar, plus a Burrata Bar featuring five different renditions. For something different, the Ricotta Gnocchi, especially the smoky ‘Gnocchi Baked Alla Sorrentina,’ is a must-try.
Flour Child Richmond is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. The lighting, sound system, and décor all come together to create an atmosphere that encourages lingering. And with the original sprung parquet flooring from its dance studio days still intact, it’s the perfect spot for a killer DJ lineup and some good vibes.
Already a favourite in St Kilda, Flour Child Richmond is sure to become a local institution for those in the know. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the whole package. And with a prime spot in the heart of Richmond, it’s bound to be a hit.
Drop in for a slice, stay for the cocktails, and enjoy the atmosphere. Flour Child Richmond is now open and ready to impress.
