Wood-fired pizzeria & pasta, Tocumwal
Authentic Italian pizza and pasta for everyone to enjoy. Wood-fired pizzas, home-made carbonara and cannoli, with balcony tables and a river view upstairs on Deniliquin Road.
What comes out of the kitchen
Pizza bases go into a proper wood-fired oven. Pasta is made the traditional way. The ’nduja is the real thing. Here’s what our guests keep coming back for.
Blistered, leopard-spotted crusts straight from the oven. Prosciutto, ’nduja with fresh basil, and a classic tomato and mozzarella base.
Home-made and traditional, the way it should be. The dish our guests mention more than any other.
A generous bowl finished with grated parmesan and a basil leaf.
Not what you’d expect from a pizzeria, and one guest’s pick for the best they’ve had.
Crisp shells piped with cream and finished with a drizzle of chocolate.

The person behind the oven
Vic runs The River Deck with a friendly team, and he’s a real stickler for doing Italian food properly. Ask him about the ’nduja.
“He is amazing in his knowledge of authenticity and delivering an exceptional product to your table.”

Brian Loye, Google review
Take the stairs up to the covered balcony for golden evening light and a river view, or settle into the dining room downstairs, right beside the pizza oven. Beer and wine are on hand, and takeaway is always an option.
In their words
“Wow, just wow! What a hidden treasure in our neighbourhood. First time visit at this restaurant tonight. The ribs are knock your socks off amazing, best we've had by far. Pizzas are beautiful, wood fires and tasty. Owner Vic & staff are so friendly and helpful. Do yourself a favour and check out this place, you won't be disappointed 🥰”
“Balcony views are the place to be. Great Italian food. The woodfire pizza was excellent and the Carbonara as well. Desserts made a good finish to our meal. Service was spot on with friendly and professional staff. First time here and will return for more 🙂”
“Okay, I'm so impressed is an understatement. This pizza is outstanding, if you really like pizza and understand quality over quantity, not to say they're not generous, then this is for you. I would never thought that Vic (proprietor) would have Nduja, but he is amazing in his knowledge of authenticity and delivering an exceptional product to your table. Unbelievably delicious food, do yourself a huge favour and eat at this restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The carbonara was awesome, home-made traditional style and the way it should be!! I returned the second day and ordered a wood-fired pizza and cannoli also both fantastic!! Great tasting food, friendly service and beautiful river-view location. Can't wait to go back for more”
