Neapolitan Pizzeria

The short version. Neapolitan Pizzeria at 494 Nepean Hwy is a traditional wood-fired pizza spot on the Chelsea strip, a short walk from the beach. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, and it trades evenings rather than daytime.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor area, with seating on the footpath along Nepean Hwy. Keep your dog leashed, settled beside the table and out of the walkway. There is no dedicated dog kit here, so bring your own water bowl. As with any small footpath setup, confirm outdoor seating is available when you arrive.

Good to know. The pizza is the point: a long-fermented dough that bakes up light and airy with a puffed, leoparded crust, made in the true Napoletana style with ingredients imported from Italy. Hours are generally evenings from Thursday to Sunday, so it is a dinner stop rather than a lunch one.

Getting there. Free street parking sits along Nepean Hwy, though the frontage fills, so side streets like Thames Promenade are the fallback. Access is flat and easy off the highway.

Nearby with the dog. Chelsea Beach is roughly 400 to 500 metres away for a walk before or after dinner. Off-leash times at the beach shift by season under City of Kingston rules, so check before you head to the sand.
