HWY-1 Cafe Pizzeria

HWY-1 Cafe Pizzeria is a casual Italian-style pizza and pasta stop on the Princes Highway through Tailem Bend, a handy dinner break if you're driving the Adelaide to Melbourne route with a dog in the car.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area, which is the only realistic option here since it's a highway roadhouse-style venue rather than a large courtyard setup. Keep dogs leashed and settled beside your table. Water bowls aren't confirmed on the venue's own materials, so bring your own just in case.

Good to know. Known for Italian-style pizzas including classic and meat lovers options, plus a full pasta menu. It mostly operates evenings, Tuesday to Sunday, so it suits a dinner stop more than lunch.

Getting there. It's at 20 Princes Highway, right on the main road through town, with plenty of onsite parking for cars, caravans and trailers.

Nearby with the dogs. Tailem Bend Dog Park is a short drive away for a proper off-leash stretch, and Riverside Park along the Murray gives a good walk if you have time before or after dinner.

Weeknights are the quieter option. As a popular highway stop, expect it busier on weekend evenings and school holidays.
