Food was mediocre, my penne serving was tiny and there was fake cheese on the potatoe gems.
The staff were amazing. Helpful, polite and the service was speedy. Will definitely host another function at Back Alley Sally's.
Thanks for your glowing review Caroline. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit and I will pass this feedback on to our team. Look forward to welcoming you back in the near future! Regards. Jo
The place is tucked away in the Yewers St alley

Thanks for your review Aleks!
Was there for a mid-week pizza and drink - and was not disappointed. Great selection of drinks and the pizzas, though strange combinations, were delicious.
Looking forward to checking BAS out again soon - It looks perfect for a Friday night!
Thanks for your great review Rita! The strange combinations really work - yes... We would love to see you back on a Friday evening soon. Cheers. Jo
Great value always but especially on Tuesday nights with the special.
Delicious pizzas.
Thanks Sam and great to hear you enjoyed it!
Awesome atmosphere with very cool as the tic within the place. Unintentionally went on a night where they had $7 pizzas and $5 sides specials, so massive win on the value front. (It was a Tuesday btw) and it was all delish! Staff were very friendly. Highly recommend. Will be back for sure.
Thanks for this great review! So glad that you enjoyed your visit.
Bloody awesome pizzas, and the vegan cheese isn't gross! Good cocktails and very friendly staff. Will be back 😊
Hi Kelly - Thanks for the review and so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. We searched high and low for a vegan cheese option that was a good fit, so I am heartened to hear that it gets your approval! See you next time and thanks. Jo
Beautiful ambient atmosphere. The laneway it’s on is quiet, CLEAN and beautiful (especially in sunset). You’ll love this place.
Joshua! Thanks for this awesome review, we love our laneway too (Footscray's very best we think!) - Thanks for your visit and look forward to welcoming you back next time. Jo
I love Sally’s - due to Covid and a move to country Vic it’s been a few years between visits. However it’s still the same DTE, cozy place to meet friends, with great food & service. Cheers guys
Thanks so much for your review and for visiting us again! So glad to hear that you once again enjoyed your time with us. Cheers!
Great night and great food. Thank you so much guys
Thanks for the great review Mathew - so glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Best vegan and vegetarian pizza. The warm olives are delicious. They also do AMAZING non-alcoholic mocktails which is so nice.
Thanks Nicole - so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us! Look forward to welcoming you back next time. Jo
Trivia was great with Matty as the host. Food was good and service was quick and convenient with the online ordering system.
~Thanks for your great review - Hope to see you back again soon!
The best pizza in the west, if not all of Melbourne.
Thanks Sarah - what a lovely review! See you on your next visit
Everything was great except the gluten free pizza. Quite disappointing, was not tasty and was undercooked and a terrible consistency. One of the worse bases I’ve had. My friends pizzas looked excellent, and I had very high expectations for here, but was quite disappointed. The service, interior and drinks were great however (although a tad pricey for what they were).
Hi Lily I am sorry to hear that your experience was not great in terms of your Gluten Free Pizza - we spent considerable time at the outset in regards to finding a great option for customers with Gluten Intolerance and we have had great feedback over the years as to how suitable and tasty these are for a GF option. In this instance, I am sorry it did not meet your expectations - however yes, being a GF product, it will be different to our usual pizzas. Thank you for your feedback.
As per every visit to Back Alley Sally's, everything was great. Fabulous staff & great food
Over priced boring pizza. Staff were bland and too cool to provide good customer service. All orders are online and they ask for a tip! But we basically served ourself. Will never go back.
Beautiful food, staff were really polite and helpful. Lovely way to spend my birthday. Thanks
It was an alright night. Not the usual atmosphere we've had. Orders were all over the show. Booked for a table inside got seated outside. Considering the current situation it was a pleasant night.
Love this place. Made a last minute booking for NYE. Went with my family 2A + 3K.
Loved the autonomous food and beverage ordering via the app. Pizzas are so good and the nachos were amazing!
The pizza menu has a few unique varieties and all are reliably tasty.
Great setup in a hidden location.
Love it, food was amazing and the staff are so lovely. great atmosphere, I was worried about parking because of location but parking was also perfect!
Cant wait to go back again :)
Very over priced food.
Also the wait staff were eager for us to leave at 9pm on a Sunday. Was disappointing.
Great place to hang around with family and friends.
Took my friend out for cocktails, it was a bit too loud and now I’m being harangued for a review
The tables were inside as the weather wasn’t great, the setup was very cosmopolitan..loved it!
Thanks Heather! Yes, we have Melbourne weather to work around, so thanks for being flexible and glad you loved it. Cheers Jo
Loved it, just had some IT issues submitting orders online, which is now required, on their end.
Also downloadable menu had a jug of Pimms on it, but once ordering from their ipad this wasn't listed. Loved it otherwise
The best non-contact bar/dining experience I’ve had since hospo opened back up!
Ordering and paying using the QR code menu was a breeze and super convenient.
The cocktails were great, and the Napoli sauce on the pizzas was standout!
Thanks Rory - really appreciate your review and glad to hear that it was easy for you to order and that it was convenient also!~ Look forward to welcoming you back next time, Jo
Delicious pizza and great app system set up to order from your table.
Really great experience - the QR code for registration and ordering had a few glitches, but the staff stepped in and everything went smoothly.
Awesome place to catch up for a few bevvies and a tasting plate :)
Front off house staff were quite rude when we walked in. The guy wearing the snood on spoke to us very aggressively.. and told us to wear a face mask. Joke was he was wearing a snood not a face mask.. practice what you preach m8!
Had to wait over 10 minutes when we arrived as they had no idea where to sit us.. even though there were empty spots everywhere.
Would not come back or recommend this place to anyone.
Terribly unorganised and forgot our order and took so long to come out. Drinks tasted watered down. Staff looked so confused.
Can never get enough of this place! I get the takeaway on the regular and recommend everyone that lives west side this place is a must! Will be back again real soon!
Really nice venue and cool vibe, the spice girls themed pizzas were a great touch.
Great local joint! Always my go-to place in Footscray when catching up with mates.
Food was great.
We drank the house beer which was pretty good.
My reservation was lost despite it being done online and confirmed the day before, however they still found us a table.
Waiters took a while to check to see if we wanted to order drinks or food, but the food and drinks arrived promptly.
Back Alley Sally's is awesome as always. It has the best laid back vibe, awesome staff, great drinks and brilliant pizza. You can't go wrong here :)
This could be a great venue and good food for a casual get together. Ruined by poor service from unfriendly staff.
When we asked if one of our drinks had been missed- got a surly “ its coming!” Orders came out in a haphazard fashion, bottle of prosecco room temp but placed in an ice bucket.
A real shame.
We were looking forward to a night out after lockdown. Felt like we were a total imposition on them.
Everyone is understanding of the covid rules- however we were spoken to like were imbeciles or naughty school kids. I don’t recommend this venue. Unless you like an evening of being treated like sh*t.
Food is always good. We ordered the share platter but did not have available which was a bit disappointing although we understood that things take time to get organised as just opened.
