Pizza & Sushi in Auckland

“food was SO good. everything was good. shocked by how good the fries were - absolutely jaw dropping. everything on the dessert menu is such a slay - my fave was the sesame ice cream. lovely ambience, had a lovely dining experience. photo attached for proof that everything was DEVOURED”

“Very nice pizzas, they taste just like what you would get in Italy, which is a rare find in NZ! They also have a vegan cheese option and the dough is vegan, as it should be. The owner is friendly and it was nice chatting to him. Highly recommended!”

“Came to Meadowbank Pizzeria for dinner tonight. Got a Gormet Special pizza. It was amazing. probably one of the nicest pizzas I've had since going to Italy. Anchovies, capers amd olives were plentiful, and the roasted garlic made the whole thing pop. Would definitely return here next time I'm in Auckland.”

“Sorry for the photo of the half eaten pizzas but we were hungry! Very impressed by the pizzas we ordered, The Prosciutto and The Delhi Chicken. Great tasting classic pizzas. All 5 eaters were very happy.”

“It is a cozy restaurant with lovely staffs and I had very nice lunch time there. The pizza made from daily fresh dough，so it had an elastic、 crispy and tender crust，aromatic toppings. They use their original in-house sauce with rich taste. These are completely different from pre-finished meals which are served in other restaurants. Meatballs、BBQ Bacon pizza and Risotto di Pollo are amazed me，if you come here you should try them.”

“Bento box was awesome, miso good too. Would recommend!”

“stopped in for dinner on our way home from watching the ALL BLACKS and i must say the owners are absolutely beautiful people, food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was so peaceful and friendly i would highly recommend the food was delicious and will definitely be back. this place is a must especially if you get into photography aswell the owners both have some awsome photography work on display on the walls and in a few published books our whanau throughly enjoyed it ❤️”

“Gorgeous spot tucked on the top end of town. I can honestly the best sushi I’ve had in New Zealand and even rivalling tastes from my travels to Japan. Pricing was well and truly fair for the quality and the staff there were so joyful. Can’t wait to come back ❤️”

“I hadn't my breakfast and wasn't planning for lunch, so I thought why not to have brunch at Goode Brothers, I ordered mushroom burger, onion rings and pineapple juice for me. The taste were amazing, it satisfied my cravings for carbs and suger. I enjoyed it with lovely sunny and windy weather bcz I was seating outside. If you are vegetarian and don't know what to order, try this mashroom burger at Goode Brothers. It was lovely experience to have brunch there. Highly recommend. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Everything was 10/10.”

“We did the pasta making class tonight and it was incredible!! Eloise, Luke and Jess looked after us so well the whole night, they were super personable and knowledgeable. It was heaps of fun and amazing value for money. We got so much food and two cocktails, plus our homemade pasta to take home all covered in our class cost. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun date or girls night!!”

“Just moved to the area and have visited this roast shop two nights in a row now.. best roast shop in Auckland easily in my personal opinion. the way the lady was cutting the fine selected meats had me in a daze while waiting in line and delivered with flavour when devoured. Keep up the good hustle”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I’d give 20 stars!) We came here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The wine was excellent, but what really stood out was the incredible service. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who looked after us: he was outstanding. He explained the menu with such honesty, knowledge, and enthusiasm, and it was clear he had a deep understanding of both the dishes and the restaurant itself. We were unsure what to order because everything looked so good and we couldnt decide as we wanted to try everything. he guided us perfectly, giving thoughtful recommendations and going above and beyond to make sure we chose what suited us best. Even though the restaurant was full, he was attentive, quick, and genuinely warm smiling the whole time and clearly enjoying what he does. It’s rare to find service like that these days. The food was just as impressive. We had a meat dish (piatto con carne) that was one of the best mains I’ve ever had in Auckland, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The linguine pasta was also delicious. But the star for me was the olive ascolane: even better than the ones I’ve had in Italy. For dessert, the cannoli was outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Even when it came time to pay, the staff were friendly, accommodating, and made us feel welcome right up until the very end. We truly enjoyed every moment of our experience here and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended!”

“I'm so glad we tried Hayami. The food was excellent along with the service. The food must have arrived at the table in less than 10mins after ordering. Reasonably priced good quality wine too.. The decor inside gave a real Japanese feel, which just added to everything. It was one of the best Japanese I've had in Auckland.”

“We had a great dinner! New menus are absolutely stunning. It's good that the Crispy Pork Belly was back in the menu with a refreshig sauce and I love the braised cabbage. The staff are friendly and accomodating. Thank you!”

“We got dinner and a couple of drinks each and WOW, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. We were served by a super friendly lady, who seems to really care about this place and giving people a great experience. The food was outstanding. Huge portions! Steak cooked to perfection and the garlic bread was banging. We are very very happy we chose this place for our staycation and we will be back, thank you guys :)”

“Best sushi in town. Great service every time. Delicious and beautiful sushi with a good range of variety. It's pricey for sure but the quality speaks for itself.”

“Surprisingly beautiful Italian restaurant tucked away in the gardens. Authentic Italian cuisine and such amazing wait staff, very attentive and friendly, always makes a huge difference when dining out. The food was beautiful, and decent servings that please a big appetite.”

“Dropped in for the $10 lunch. It was simple, but very tasty and exceptional value - rice, omelet, choice of a vegetable dish. Really good value for money. I don't know many places where you can feed yourself for $10 for lunch. Cute interior design. Lots of space for groups of all sizes and people dining alone. A bunch of people turned up after us, so looks popular. The menu looks great, will come back another time to try it.”

“Delicious pizza! Can be a bit of a wait when busy but well worth it. Great atmosphere.”

“If you have plenty of time, this place has a great intimate vibe. However, if you want food, there is a decent wait but the pizzas are worth the wait as they are really well made.”

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“We absolutely love the pizzas, the base is so crispy and not doughy. The flavours are beautiful. The Quattro is my favourite. Hands down the best pizza in Auckland. The smoked chicken pasta is also really tasty and authentic. Nice work team!”

“Nice Italian restaurant with GF Pasta and Pizza. Pasta portions are huge, I‘ve struggled eating up the main size and ordered this time an entree size, which was a full size portion too. Also nice Italian wines to go with your meal. I can recommend Sangovese. Definitely a nice place to dine in. Bookings might be helpful as this place is well visited”

“Not only is the food at Sake Nippon Bar delicious, but the portion sizes are ideal. We ate a range of dishes, but my personal favourite was the chicken katsu. The chicken was fresh, flavourful and crunchy. The service is excellent. Food is served promptly. The atmosphere is conducive to conversation. However, on other occasions, it has been quite loud.”

“I’ve eaten all over the world, at places ranging from down to earth and fancy. This is easily one of my favorites—there is a perfect blend of restaurant food and a home cooked meal vibe, all in a reasonable price. We eat here regularly and it is the highlight of the work week. Highly recommended to everyone!”

“I was here Friday 19 April with a group of 12 from West Wave. The food was fantastic. I had the best pizza in about 20 years! Also a great atmosphere and lovely staff. I forgot to take the photo of the ice-cream after I had eaten ⅔ of it already.”

“2nd time ordering from here. Yummy tasting pizzas. Also, prompt and awesome customer service.”

“Delicious Neapolitan pizza with the perfect crust and fresh toppings, paired with crispy, flavorful arancini. A cozy spot with warm service and a true taste of Italy”

“only got few pieces as quick lunch bites but all so fresh and goodd. Will be back for more”

“Wanted pizza and never had been here before and glad we did. Ordered a half half margarita and New Yorker pizza. Seasoning and sauce is flavourful. Not too salty. Could do with more base sauce as it was a little dry but could easily fix with extra sauce option. The dietary options of cheese and gluten free bases is better than I expected. Vegan cheese options. I liked the multiple options of flavours which covered traditional and gourmet flavours. Didn’t get a milkshake but I will next time I get a pizza there.”
