FOOD AT THE REFECTORY

We’re honoured to have Fratello’s as the resident kitchen at Refectory LDS. Fratello’s whole menu is available from midday, Wednesday – Sunday every week.

You can expect freshly baked pizzas with New York soul and Neapolitan heart. Alongside the pies, they’ll be using the same delicious dough to make some incredible folded panuozzo, a perfect lighter option.  

No egos, just bold flavours fired by friendship and culture.

Vegetarian and vegan pizzas are available, with vegan mozzarella available on request. Gluten-free pizza bases are also available, although they are prepared in a kitchen that handles gluten, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.

Take a look through the fully stocked can fridge that includes fruit beers and, low- and no-alcohol options. Why not take advantage of our 15% takeaway discount on all cans from the fridge.
