Mushroom pizza with Blue cheese was excellent too! Loved every bite of it! Highly recommend and will come back to have a date night with my partner.”

“Absolutely loved the custom made pizza! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and everything from the pizza to the sides and dessert was fresh and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and guided us through the ordering process with ease. I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!”

“Food & service 11/10! Staff are super friendly and considerate. They helped guide us, offered us better options for the amount we were spending, and they had the All Blacks game on. All adds up for a mean experience. 100% will be back!”

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“visited Flame Pizza on Saturday for lunch and tried their burgers along with some sides, including pizza garlic bread. The burgers were incredibly well-made, fresh, and so tasty — truly impressive! The garlic bread was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they really made my day with their great service. I genuinely appreciate the effort they put into the food and customer service. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be visiting again.”

“Had the most amazing breakfast here today, it was a special for fathers day, smashed avocado with apricot baked salmon on rosti. Fantastic! Coffee was great too, highly recommend, will be back. Best breakfast I've had at a cafe for a long time. Thanks!!”

“Good Home Takanini is a fantastic place to dine. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour you can tell the chefs put real care into every plate. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price.”

“I though it was going to be a bad American gimmick, turned out to be a really good American gimmick. The pizza bases are good and crispy, pepperoni was my favorite. The sauce on the Buffalo wings was up there with the best I've ever had. Will be back for sure.”

“always proving the goods! the line out the door during semester says it all, if you can time your visit to avoid lines you.might like to. the staff are super friendly and always provide smiles and a wave hello especially if you are a regular. they also do amazing coffee!!!”

“Such a nice place , loved the pasta i had along with the bread . Our waiter he was so very accomodating , very kind and professional, It was busy at the time and he was definitely top man . Very happy with him and the food thank you .”

“We love Pizzas & Mocktails. Really nice food for a reasonable price, good variety, and they’re always made quickly as well. This place is one of only two decent takeaways places in the area. Definitely recommend!”

“This place is awesome! Highly recommend! We were given cups for our drinks for free! Super polite, they put on a great show while making our pizza, the man there was super kind and helpful, us 6 kids had the time of our lives! If I could give 6 or more star I would! They also turned the TV on what we wanted, and we didn't even ask. Also the pizza is top quality.”

“Lovely atmosphere with music playing, very nice staff who took my order and pizza came out exactly how it was advertised online. Overall wonderful experience”

“Always good quality and always get my orders correct! Good value for money too”

“Had dinner at Portofino Takapuna, an authentic Italian restaurant by the beach. I ordered the Prosciutto Pizza and Seafood Risotto—both were absolutely amazing. The pizza was perfectly baked with a thin, crispy base and generous toppings, while the risotto was rich, creamy, and full of fresh seafood flavours. A truly delightful dining experience that captures the taste of Italy right here in Takapuna. Highly recommended!”

“Definitely an amazing restaurant with delicious food at a good price! We particularly loved the spaghetti gamberi and the cannelloni. The desserts looked amazing, but we did not try it as we were full with the generous portions of the main dish. Extra spice could be asked :) The staff is very friendly! The website is updated, so you can find the menu online and check the prices.”

“Amazing food! Loved the starters, pizza, pasta, and dessert. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. The other staff were also very nice and efficient. They definitely deserve all the prizes they’ve won for their pizza! I’m more of a pasta gal, but my husband was on pizza induced cloud nine. Probably the most authentic Italian food we’ve had since moving to New Zealand!”

“Fantastic service and great atmosphere. What I liked about it was the restaurant appeared to have a lot of regulars. They could also handle our group of 8 which was great”

“Delicious food, well presented, tasty. Good selection of beverage. Great service, friendly staff. Pane e Vino is prepared to accommodate special diets. Fresh salads, good quality cheese. Giorgio, manager, is very polite and ready to assist you. Clean premises. Clean bathroom.”

“Tried ordering online and phone callng in 20mins before closing time but unsuccessful. I decided to drive in to order & pickup as I was in the area, arrived 7mins before closing @11pm, served by Anusheel and his nightshift team without hesitation. Exceptional service boys. Appreciate.”

“I was pleasantly surprised at the taste & quality of their pizza's. I ordered Italian with anchovies, meat lovers pizza, creamy chicken & beef & all were really good. Online ordering was quick & easy and staff were friendly. Highly recommended.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a lovely experience at Pizza Club. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. The chicken peri peri pizza was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It was a great spot for a relaxed meal, and I really appreciated the attention to quality. I’ll definitely be coming back and would happily recommend it to others looking for tasty pizza and good service.”

“Generous toppings, and the flavors were delicious. We bought 2 pizzas, one with a gluten free base. My gf was the best pizza I've ever had, and hubby said the same about his wheat-based one. Pic is of my gf apricot chicken pizza. Hubby also said the chips were excellent too. These are, unfortunately, not gf.”

“We brought the beef and blue cheese, chicken and camembert cheese burger, they were both absolutely delicious one of the best burgers we've had, we also got the paneer tandoori pizza that's was also delicious. The flavors all paired very well Highly recommend”

“Highly recommended. Food is very good quality and customer service is outstanding. There is a young man possibly of indian descent. He is always a pleasure to deal with. He is always smiling and goes that extra mile for customers.”

“Best pasta and pizza, didn’t expect this! We thought it’s just food court food but their pasta and pizza are even better their high end restaurants!!!!! Amazing!!!!! Real fresh pasta and lamb ragu is sooo tasty, full of flavors!”

“The food was good, and the pasta made fresh in the cheese wheel was unique, but the limited menu was a bit of a bummer.”

“Wow! What the pizzas, i had my dinner there. I got 4 pizzas. All were just amazing. The staff boy was too sweet and welcoming. The taste of the food was too good. They have a huge variety of food in vegetarian and non vegetarian. I will coming back regularly there.”
