The Deep End Difference

Welcome to Deep End Pizza – where an American fine dining chef and his Aussie wife are redefining what pizza can be. This isn't just dinner; it's a nostalgic journey through America's most iconic pizza styles, executed with chef-level precision and served with family-style warmth.

Why settle for ordinary when you can dive into extraordinary? We're Australia's only restaurant offering SIX authentic American pizza styles under one roof - each with its own handcrafted dough, premium local ingredients, and time-honored techniques. 

No frozen shortcuts. No mass production. Just Chef Paul Kasten and his team bringing the flavors of home to your table, one meticulously crafted pizza at a time.

The Only Way to Try Them All Is To Dine With Us

Our tiny 62-seat restaurant fills up fast, and several of our pizza styles are made in extremely limited quantities each day. Bookings are highly recommended.

Some experiences can't be delivered – and this is one of them. While our Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish and Detroit-Style pizzas can make the journey to your door, our Chicago Tavern and New Haven styles are exclusive dine-in experiences that are worth leaving home for.

With Leftovers!

Don't be afraid to order more than you think you can handle – our pizzas make incredible leftovers! Every box comes with chef-approved reheating instructions so you can enjoy round two just as much as the first time. It's like getting two meals for the price of one. Order extra to share the Deep End experience with family at home or treat yourself to the best breakfast ever tomorrow.

Our Pizza Styles

Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish

Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish

The Legend. The Beast. The 1.5kg Cheese Bomb. Our homage to Giordano's famous creation – a towering 2.25-inch thick masterpiece with a tender bottom crust, thin top crust, and a magnificent middle stuffed with premium cheese and toppings, crowned with our signature sauce. Worth every minute of the 40-minute bake time.

Chicago Tavern Style - Australian Exclusive

Chicago Tavern Style - Australian Exclusive

The Local's Secret. Ask any Chicagoan what they actually eat at home – it's this thin, buttery crust cut into squares like they've done since the 1940s. Our multi-day dough process blends multiple flours, cultured butter, and heaps of labor to recreate that perfect tavern pie experience. Each batch is small, limited, and absolutely worth planning ahead for.

Pequod’s Chicago Deep Dish - By The Slice

Pequod’s Chicago Deep Dish - By The Slice

The caramelized edge slice of heaven. Not to be confused with its Chicago Stuffed Deep Dish cousin, this Chicago legend features a thicker base and that unmistakable charred cheese crust that circles the edge. It's not burnt – it's perfection. Available by the slice, it's the perfect gateway to deep dish exploration.

New Haven Style

New Haven Style

A taste of Chef Paul's childhood stomping ground. New York's sophisticated cousin from Connecticut features a distinctively crisp, charred crust that only comes from perfect technique and blazing heat. This heritage recipe from Chef's home state delivers a thin, structured base that supports premium toppings without sacrificing that perfect fold.

Detroit-Style Pan Pizza

Detroit-Style Pan Pizza

The square deal with the crispy cheese crown. Fall in love with this fluffy, focaccia-like square pie with its signature crispy rim of caramelized cheese. Light enough to feel good about, but sturdy enough to handle bold toppings – it's the perfect canvas for Chef Paul's most creative flavor combinations.

New York Thin Crust Style

New York Thin Crust Style

Not your average NYC pizza. Forget everything you think you know about NY pizza. Chef Paul's version pays homage to the higher-end pizzerias of the Big Apple – with the perfect balance of chew and crisp, premium toppings, and that distinctive fold that keeps everything in place.
