Since September 2026
Chiara and Simone, two chefs from Brisbane, have taken over the wood-fired oven on Berserker Street in Rockhampton. Simone’s on the pizza, Chiara’s on the pasta, and every pizza now comes out cut.
Tano’s Italian Fresh Food is a wood-fired pizza takeaway at 1/185 Berserker Street, Berserker, on the north side of Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia. Our Neapolitan-style pizzas are made on a biga dough fermented for 24 to 48 hours and cooked in our wood-fired oven. We’re open Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30pm to 8pm and Friday to Sunday from 11am to 2pm and 4pm to 8pm. We’re closed Monday and Tuesday. Call (07) 2146 4754 to order ahead, then pick up at the counter or eat at our footpath tables. We don’t deliver.
48hrs
Our dough starts as a biga, a slow Italian pre-ferment.
It ferments for 24 to 48 hours before it’s ever stretched.
Time builds deep flavour and a puffy crust full of air.
Bench to box
i
Each base is stretched by hand, so the air from the long ferment stays in the crust.

ii
Straight onto the floor of the wood-fired oven, where the crust puffs up and picks up its char.
iii
Every pizza comes out of the oven cut into slices. No knife needed on the drive home.
iv
Takeaway from the counter, or eat it hot at one of our footpath tables.
Now on
Chiara’s fresh pasta is on. It’s made in the shop with no eggs and pushed through bronze dies, so the sauce holds on. Bolognese, puttanesca, carbonara, fettuccine with prawns and maccheroni, $22 to $24, plus a weekly special.
