Allstars Pizza

Allstars Pizza at 94A Commercial Street East is Mount Gambier's hand-tossed pizza shop, built mostly around takeaway and delivery. The bases are hand-tossed with loaded toppings, the menu runs from classics like Aussie and pepperoni to a signature House Special, and pizza slabs, garlic bread and vegetarian plus vegan options round it out. For dog owners it is a footpath stop rather than a sit-down venue: dogs are allowed at the outdoor seating out front while you wait on an order.

The dog setup

The dog space is the footpath seating at the street front, so this suits a settled dog that is comfortable with passing foot and road traffic. Bring your own water bowl and think short stop: order ahead, then time your pickup so the wait on the footpath is brief. Most customers take away or get delivery anyway, which is exactly what the setup is made for.

Max: pizza boxes smell strongest in the car park. Facts are facts.

Worth knowing

This is an evening shop. Doors open at 4:30pm and close between 8pm and 9pm depending on the night, with a short lunch window on selected midweek days per the Google listing, and Mondays currently shown as closed. Hours have shifted before, so a quick check of the website or a call ahead saves a wasted trip with the dog in the car.

Getting there and parking

Commercial Street East is Mount Gambier's main strip, with free street parking along it, though the evening rush for dinner pickups can slow things down. The central streets are easy to wander on lead before dinner, and the Umpherston Sinkhole reserve is a short drive for a proper walk afterwards.

Close by with the dogs

For an off-lead run first, Hastings Cunningham Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the town's fenced option, and the Blue Lake Loop is the classic on-lead walk. Other dog-friendly meals in town include Mount Gambier Brewery, and Mount Gambier Central Caravan Park covers dog-friendly stays nearby.
