Chef Jon Pizzeria & Bistro Finds a Permanent Home in Kenmore

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Menu highlights

Highlights from Zen’s visit.

• Wood-fired pizzas topped with hot honey, walnuts, blue cheese, or prosciutto and pesto.
• Golden arancini served on cream sauce sprinkled with grated cheese.
• Crisp cannoli filled with ricotta cream and coated in crushed pistachios.

Wood-Fired Crusts and Playful Toppings

The foundation relies on dough that gets a proper nap before shaping, yielding light crusts with gentle wood-fired blistering. The menu covers simple favourites like a classic pepperoni or Margherita with fresh basil served on newspaper print lining.

For something more gourmet, one combination pairs sweet hot honey with walnuts and blue cheese, while another features prosciutto arranged in rose shapes over green pesto and basil. With cheese pulls stretching off paper-lined trays and options like sliced red onion, the wood-fired focus stays front and centre.

Bistro Appetisers and Italian Sweets

Having a permanent kitchen allows the menu to expand well beyond slices. Starter options include golden arancini served over cream sauce with a dusting of grated cheese, alongside grazing platters filled with green olives, red dip, and toasted pizza bread triangles.

Dessert options round out the visit before heading home. Counter treats feature cocoa-dusted cream bowls and crisp cannoli packed with ricotta cream and finished with crushed pistachios at each end.

A Neighbourhood Spot for Locals and Pets

The venue brings a relaxed neighbourhood energy to Kenmore. Indoor dining accommodates both casual takeaway stops and sit-down meals, backed by a pet-friendly policy where four-legged companions are welcome alongside diners.
