Montica - Tarragindi

With the start of the new year upon us, it seems that the theme of 2026 seems to be shaping up as the year for pizza. Last year there was a flurry of KBBQ openings which have since ceased. We now have the opening of quite a few high quality pizza joints. One which caught my attention for its popularity was Montica Pizza. What makes it unique is the fact that it is run out of a food truck and so its location shifts every day. Being located on the inner southside of Brisbane, I visited them when they were parked at Tarragindi on a Thursday evening. I arrived fairly early at 5.30pm. It was lucky I did as they sold out less than one hour later.

The menu was found on the side of the truck. It was brief and simple with eight savoury options and two dessert pizzas. Notably, prices were fairly similar to restaurant standards these days. Ordering three to go, it took around 20 minutes for my order to be ready.

After a brief 10 minute drive, I was home with the goods.

As usual, I ordered one red and one white. This was the carnivore, topped with salami, proscuitto and Italian sausage. I also added burrata for good measure. As far as pizzas go, this was fairly good. The base was light and fluffy and the toppings worked well together and were generous. Perhaps it had to do with my eating it after the drive home but I found it to be a bit on the wetter side and a bit chewier than I would have liked it if it had come straight out of the oven. 

For our white pizza, we had the Tartufo. This was topped with fior di latte, prosciutto, onion and truffle oil. This was interesting insofar as tartufo pizzas usually do not come with onion and this added a level of sweetness that I enjoyed. Again the crust came off as a little bit steamed, probably from the car ride home.

Following on from the pistachio craze of 2025, I couldn't resist the pistachio pizza for dessert. This was the weakest of the three and was basically pistachio papi on a pizza base with pistachio pieces. It wasn't bad per se but it was a tad dry as a dessert and I would easily have been satisfied by one or two pieces rather than half a pizza.

In summary, we did have a fairly good experience at Montica. I would say currently it isn't as good as the offerings at Corner Pizza at Sunnybank, but for an option close by, it's very decent and I'd go back to try their other pizzas.
