Confirmed Facts

Points to Consider

  • Pork (ham, bacon, salami) is clearly listed as an ingredient on multiple pizzas on their menu.
  • There is a significant risk of kitchen utensils and surfaces being shared between halal and non-halal ingredients.
  • No official website or social media found to get a direct statement from the restaurant.
  • No listing found on well-known halal directories.

Our Recommendation:

If you decide to eat here, we suggest sticking to the kebab and HSP options and avoiding the pizzas to prevent any issues. Suppliers and practices can change, so we recommend verifying with the restaurant directly for peace of mind.

Is Citadel Pizza & Kebabs halal certified?

Citadel Pizza & Kebabs is in a tricky situation. It's listed as 'Halal' on popular food delivery websites and is famous for its 'Halal Snack Packs'. However, they do not have an official halal certification that we could find, and more importantly, they serve pork products like ham and bacon on their pizzas. This means it's a mixed kitchen, so while some items are halal, there is a risk of contact with non-halal items.

Do they serve alcohol or pork?

We found no evidence that they serve alcohol. However, they definitely serve pork. Their menu clearly lists ham, bacon, and hot salami as toppings for several of their pizzas. Because both halal and pork items are prepared in the same kitchen, there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Is the meat hand slaughtered (zabihah)?

We did not find any information to suggest that the meat is hand-slaughtered (zabihah). The menu on delivery apps describes the kebab meat as 'halal-certified', but provides no further details on the supplier or slaughter method.

Are there prayer facilities nearby?

The restaurant itself does not have a prayer room. You would need to find a mosque or public prayer facility in the St Kilda area, but none are within immediate walking distance of the restaurant.

Can they accommodate large Muslim family gatherings?

The restaurant is described as a casual eatery and appears to have some seating. However, given that they serve pork, it may not be a suitable environment for all Muslim families, especially those concerned about cross-contamination.
