Pizza & Sushi in Auckland

“My daughter and I went for dinner tonight and we’ll definitely being going back. Each meal was well presented and delicious! Tastier than other Japanese restaurants I’ve been to. There is so much more on the menu I want to try. Was lovely just the two of us, but can imagine even better with a larger group and sharing more meals. Our meals came out with some time between them so I did get dinner envy of others I saw. But when ours arrived it was totally worth the wait. You def need to try this one. My latest east Auckland fav.”

“This place is truly a gem. Service was excellent, atmosphere was really cute, and happy hour prices were super reasonable. But the best part was the pizza. Truly the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Wish we were locals--we'd be there constantly!”

“This is our favourite local Eatery! The staff are lovely and so very accommodating. Being able to take our own wine makes it more affordable, meaning we can eat out more often. Love it!”

“Great food and service! And Ainsley, our server, was terrific! I would highly recommend Bella Cucina!!”

“Great Japanese food selection and delicious food. Will definitely come back again!”

“Delicious food! Must try Spicy Garlic Udon stir try!!”

“Price and portion are both reasonable, and the food was excellent. Food was served a little slow but that makes sense considering how busy they were. Recommended!!”

“This place is a gem. We ordered share plates (edamame, chicken katsu, tempura veges and okinomiyaki) followed by Japanese ice cream. All were prepared very nicely and were delicious. Service was efficient and friendly even though the hard working staff were quite busy. The whole place reminded us of small restaurants in Japan. We wish there was somewhere similar near where we live.”

“Food is amazing here, had the salmon sushi roll, popcorn chicken, and soy garlic fried chicken. All delicious, best sushi I’ve had so far in Auckland! Just wish they did fried chicken combos. Staff are incredibly friendly.”

“Dante’s – A Slice of Italy in the Heart of Auckland If you’re on the hunt for the best authentic Italian pizza in Auckland, look no further than Dante’s. Crafted by the talented Chef Kevin, every bite takes you straight to Naples – fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and bold, traditional flavours. We had what can only be described as the best pizza in Auckland. The standout? The Carne Pizza – loaded with perfectly seasoned meats and baked to wood-fired perfection. But don’t stop there – the Bella Stacciatella is a creamy, flavour-packed delight. And don’t even think about skipping the Arancini balls – crispy on the outside, rich and cheesy inside – they’re the perfect appetizer to pair with an ice-cold Peroni Beer. The combination is simply unbeatable. The atmosphere is warm, the service is spot-on, and the food? Unforgettable. Must-try combo: Carne Pizza + Bella Stacciatella + Arancini balls + Peroni Beer = Heaven. Grazie, Chef Kevin – we’ll be back!”

“Food: always top quality Korean food with a very generous portion. Service: the owner and staffs working there are super friendly. Location: super convenient next to the carpark. My favourite Korean restaurant in Auckland.”

“I've visited this restaurant a couple of times and always meant to write a review but their delicious food just slipped my mind. I had the pleasure of dining there again tonight with my wife and I must say the place consistently meets high standards. The service was excellent and the seating was both nice and comfortable. My children absolutely love the sushi too. Plus, the prices are reasonable, there's plenty of parking and the atmosphere is wonderfully clean. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal.”

“Yummy i cant find anyother veitnam outside auckland can compete here . Always best food”

“Beautiful clean and friendly. Food is amazing, we love the tofu don, just can’t get enough.”

“I absolutely love Japanese food, and Daruma Ramen is the best I’ve had so far in Auckland. We’ve been here so many times — it’s become our go-to place for dinner, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, authentic, and comforting. The service is always excellent, and I especially love the robot food server — such a fun and unique touch! The place itself is modest but very comfortable, which makes it even more welcoming.”

“We’ve been coming here regularly lately on a Friday for what we think is the best fish on the coast. The batter is perfect and you can tell they cook in good clean oil . If you want a quick, tasty Kiwi favourite dinner, I highly recommend Ocean Eats.”

“Awesome food and staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely a recommended restaurant. Love the sea-facing great atmosphere too! Highly recommended the grill prawns :)”

“Been going here for a number of years and absolutely always great food, great service and great prices. A local gem.”

“One of the better chicken kebabs i’ve had in auckland. Amazing sauce and the chips were so good. 9/10 only because salad options are limtied in the kebabs.”
