Join us at Plus 5 Bar for a hands-on masterclass where our expert pizzaiolos will guide you through the art of making pizza and pesto from scratch.
Start with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, then discover poolish, the centuries-old pre-ferment that creates light, airy, and flavourful dough. You’ll learn the fermentation secrets that take homemade pizza to the next level.
Next, get saucy with Executive Chef Malcolm Williams as you create a vibrant, herb-packed pesto with a unique twist. You'll take home your own handcrafted jar to impress family and friends.
Then it's time to shape, stretch and top your pizza before it bakes to golden, bubbly perfection. Once ready, sit down to enjoy your creation with a glass of wine, beer or a refreshing soft drink.
Whether you're a home cook or just pizza-curious, this fun and flavour-filled session is perfect for food lovers of all levels.

We’re Plus 5 – a relaxed, riverside bar tucked away in Melbourne’s South Wharf. Our story started with a simple idea: create a place where great food, handcrafted drinks, and good vibes come together.
Over the years, we’ve become a go-to spot for stone-baked pizzas, signature cocktails, and casual catch-ups that turn into unforgettable nights. Whether it’s a laid-back afternoon with friends, after-work drinks, or a private event, we love bringing people together in our vibrant, welcoming space by the Yarra.
What makes us special? It’s the little things – the care our team puts into every serve, the energy on the terrace as the sun sets, and the creativity in every cocktail. We’ve hosted everything from functions and celebrations to DJ nights and corporate events, and we’re always up for more.
With years of experience behind the bar and in the kitchen, we’re proud to offer a space that’s all about sharing good times, great food, and even better company.
