Write a ReviewI have a spot you should check out called Woodpeckers Woodfired Restaurant and Cafe in Subiaco. It's got a cozy, rustic vibe that you feel right at the door. The main reason I keep going back? The outstanding Italian food. Seriously, their wood-fired pizzas are the star of the menu. They also have some killer pasta dishes that hit the spot every time.
The staff here are friendly and welcoming, which makes dining more enjoyable. With the place almost always buzzing, it's clear I'm not the only fan. Even if it's packed, I've never felt rushed to finish. It's also refreshing to see that they welcome dogs at outdoor seating. So, bring your furry friend along; it feels like they're part of the family here.
They've got some really great accessibility options, too. A wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance make it easy for everyone to visit. Wheelchair-accessible seating and toilets are also available. It's comforting to see a business who's thought this carefully about accessibility. Restaurants should take notes from Woodpeckers on how to make everyone feel welcome.
The location is convenient with lots of nearby attractions. You're in Subiaco, after all. If you like shopping, stroll around the nearby Rokeby Road. You'll find lots of little shops full of unique finds and boutiques offering the latest trends. It's a nice way to work up your appetite before venturing over to Woodpeckers for dinner.
They've got dining down to a science with well-planned hours. Sure, they're closed on Mondays, but they're open Friday for lunch, which is great if you want to escape the office for a bit. On Saturdays, grab a spot for dinner between 5 and 8:30 pm and soak in the weekend vibe. Their servings are spot on. Not too big and not too small, leaving you perfectly satisfied.
Besides wood-fired pizzas, the menu has a decent range of other Italian options. I haven't tried them all yet, but friends can't stop raving about their pasta. Stop by between Tuesday and Thursday evenings when they open at 5:30 pm. It's perfect for a mid-week treat after a long day.
Woodpeckers is right in the thick of everything. Kings Park is not far off, making it effortless to swing by after a day spent exploring this beautiful park. It's one of the largest inner-city parks in the world, with lots of trails and stunning views of the Perth skyline. Plus, the famous Perth Stadium is a quick drive away, great for pre-game eats or post-match celebrations.
Don't want to dine in? They'll let you take your pizza home, or they'll deliver it. This flexibility makes them a top choice when you want great food on demand. But trust me, the restaurant's atmosphere adds something extra, so try to visit when you can.
The cafe space is warm, inviting, and perfect for a Sunday evening catch-up with friends or family. The rustic design adds to the authentic Italian feel of the place. You can literally see the wood-fire oven at work, and there's something cozy about that.
You get good vibes walking into Woodpeckers. It's not just a restaurant; it feels like family. It's quite obvious why they've got over 800 reviews raving about them and an impressive 4.6-star average rating. If you're a local, like me, or just visiting this side of Perth, make sure you wander into this gem. There's always something satisfying about finding a place that hits all the right notes. Woodpeckers does just that without trying too hard.
The parking situation in Subiaco can sometimes be challenging, especially when it's busy. But don't stress, there are plenty of paid parking options in the area. If you're lucky, you might even snag free street parking close by.
