Rintoull St Pizza & Charcoal Chicken

Rintoull St Pizza & Charcoal Chicken is a local takeaway at 15 Rintoull Street in Morwell, in the Latrobe Valley, doing exactly what the name promises: charcoal chicken, pizzas and chips, with salads rounding out the menu. The listing is flagged as allowing dogs outside, and while there is no courtyard or dining terrace, the footpath out front makes it an easy stop with the dog while an order comes together.

The dog setup

Dogs wait outside, not inside; this is a kerbside setup on a quiet residential and light-commercial street rather than a sit-down courtyard. It suits a quick on-lead stop or a takeaway order you carry to a park bench. Bring your own water, as there is nothing out for dogs on the footpath.

Worth knowing

The charcoal chicken is the headline order and reviewers keep coming back to it, along with generous chips and fresh pizzas at prices locals call affordable. Service gets friendly mentions regularly. Hours run 11am to 8pm Monday to Thursday, extending to 8:30pm Friday and Saturday, with Sunday closed, so it is a lunch-and-dinner shop six days a week. Free street parking sits directly out front with flat kerb access to the shopfront, and orders can be placed ahead by phone or through delivery apps if you would rather not queue with the dog.

Make a day of it

Pair an order with a proper walk at Toners Lane Dog Park, Morwell's dedicated dog park, and the food travels well as takeaway. For a scenic on-lead stroll while the chicken rests, the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden is a short drive away. If you are here around breakfast or a coffee instead, MugLife Espresso & Juice Bar and Jay Dee's Cafe are both local dog-friendly cafe options.
