The kitchen at Pizza Bar takes a pizza-first path and lets the food speak. Salsas lift the plates without overpowering. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Value feels fair for the spread.
I had a glas of wine and a slice of the red pizza pie only. Both were excellent in taste. I think, next time I would eat an entire pizza.
Food was nice and good value. Looks like we got the same server as Angela though… Stood about for 5 minutes at an empty bar. Eventually saunters out from the back, but the only words we managed to get out of him was “paying together?”. Can’t blame them for hiring students in all fairness, but wouldn’t come back nonetheless. I’d kick him off the music as well… tragic.
The pizza sandwich was delicious and great value—especially with the included drink. Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The staff member who served us (moustache, dark short hair, glasses) didn’t acknowledge my greeting or say a single word during the transaction. It wasn’t until he brought out the order that he spoke, offering a brief description and a half smile. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but basic courtesy—like a simple hello or smile—goes a long way in making customers feel welcome. I hope this feedback helps highlight how important friendly service is, especially when the food itself is worth returning for.
I walked in and was taken by the beautiful minimalist interior, I had to go straight to the toilet. The walk through Pizza Bar to their toilet was awesome, first impressions of the interior design on fleek. I got to the toilet, I did not expect much, but wow, even the toilets were amazing! Sick hand dryer, great mirror lighting. Anyway, I came back in to appreciate the atmosphere, it was simple and amazing. All The service is attentive, well-paced and friendly! The food arrived, first things it looked stunning. Second, every bite was AMAZING, it is the best pizza I have had - I highly recommend it if you want somewhere to go in Dunedin After the pizza, we couldn’t help but get the Tiramisu - the main meal was so good. Next time I come, I will be getting a cocktail to complement the pizza. After the experience of just the pizza and Tiramisu, I’m almost confident it will be great. Amazing amazing pizza and dessert, the minimalist style was strung together well - leaving a nice feeling over the whole experience. Thank you! We will we back.
Really nice pizza!!!! Especially the dough! The toppings were unique and delicious. The white pie was very rich so you should just have a few slices. The red pie was my favourite. The service was great and the prices are reasonable
Yet to have had a bad pizza here. Between my partner and I getting it to take away or catching up with the fellers for a couple beers it always hits the spot. Staff are lovely and txt to order is so easy. Great food, great beer, great spot.
A decent pizza place in Dunedin, if you're feeling hungry for some, worth checking out. Personally I was a little underwhelmed by the experience. Staff were lovely and all food and drink came out in a timely manner, however didn't really get to enjoy much of the pizzas. Were ordered the sweet corn and mushroom and while both were definitely well cooked (enjoyed the chewy base), the toppings and the sauce tasted slightly bland which was a real shame! Even the Chili oil wasn't very spicy. As above, would be worth checking out and trying (perhaps another base would be better?)
My husband and I decided to visit Pizza Bar because it was highly rated. Pizza is one of those dishes that you cannot destroy and it pretty much always tastes good but not at this place. I cannot pinpoint exactly what was wrong with the pizza (the dough or sauces or both) but I definitely did not enjoy it. We ordered White pie and Spicy pie pizzas and both were a bit of a disappointment. Also, we were pretty annoyed that the only way you can find the menu is on Instagram. Not everyone has or wants to have Instagram. This was especially annoying since they do have a website where they could place their menu of 5 or so pizzas. It just seemed that they were trying too hard to be hip or different or pander to younger crews, but it just came off as very pretentious to us. Overall, I would not recommend coming to Pizza Bar.
I publicly confessed my love to the staff here and I don’t even know any of them, but the folks here are clearly passionate about their venue because everything has been worked out to a T. The cocktail menu is full of delicious and thoughtfully created drinks - the sour cherry margarita is wonderfully balanced, and filled me with memories of Greece (sour cherries are big there). The pizza selection was difficult to choose from because it all looked fabulous- I went with the mushroom pie and topped it off with chili oil at the recommendation of the charming server, and it was perfection - the pizza was perfectly cooked, the dough was flavourful, soft and chewy on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. I cannot effusively praise this place enough, it makes me sad I’m not rich and living in Dunedin. I’d eat here several times a week if I could and I’d probably be really drunk a lot because of this place! 6/5 stars and I’ll be back as soon as I’m in town again. Ngā mihi nui!
