Downtown Pizzeria

Downtown Pizzeria is a lively wood-fired pizza spot at 472 Dean Street, in the heart of Albury's dining strip, and dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front. It is a solid pick for dinner with the dog along, as long as it copes with a busy street-side setting.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor footpath tables on Dean Street, not inside. Staff are accommodating and have been known to bring out water and the odd treat, but pack your own bowl to be safe. The footpath tables fill quickly, so booking an outdoor spot is worth it for a relaxed evening.

Good to know. The draw is wood-fired pizza with generous toppings, alongside pasta, grilled dishes and cocktails, in a vibrant, bustling room. The menu caters to a range of diets, including vegetarian and some gluten-free options. Because it sits right on the main strip, the outdoor area is best for a dog that is settled around passing foot traffic.

Getting there and parking. Free street parking is usually available on Dean Street, though it can fill up in the evenings. It is central and easy to reach on foot from most downtown accommodation.

Nearby with the dogs. Many neighbouring Dean Street cafes also allow dogs at outdoor tables, and the Albury Botanic Gardens and Noreuil Park foreshore are a short walk or drive for a leg-stretch.

Book an outdoor table for a busy evening, bring water for warmer nights, and walk off the meal along the foreshore or through the gardens.
