NEWS UPDATE DEC 2025: 
Wood-fired pizza and a slice of opportunity. 


Help us find a new owner for the much loved Little Guys Pizza and Cafe. Presently closed, the lease is still active and the town would love to see a new owner. How about a pizza and pasta version, an Indian takeaway promoting gluten free and locally grown chickpeas and lentils or a play cafe? The shop is big enough to make it your own, with space for a temporary caravan out the back if you don't live locally. Little Guys Pizza and Cafe is waiting for its next owner. More than just a pizza-café. It was the only wood-fired pizza stop on the entire stretch between Melbourne and Adelaide. A highway hero. A destination in its own right. With a prime position in the middle of Commercial St on the Western Highway, it catches the eye of every passing traveller and holds the loyalty of a supportive local community. Think free parking, easy access, high visibility, and an ever-growing flow of foot traffic, road trippers, and hungry families. The price? Less than what it would cost you to build from scratch. The landlord? Friendly, community-minded, and ready to support your vision.
Kaniva is more than a pit stop – it’s a small town with a big heart.
