It was so hard to choose our favourite because they were all so delicious and full of flavour. The variety is fantastic, and each pizza feels like a completely different experience. Just had an amazing pizza from this place, and I’m officially hooked! All of them were absolutely delicious but my personal fav was the butter chicken.
If you have a sizeable group to cater for and pizza’s are the go, look no further than Ponsonby Road eatery Elmo’s. Petite enough to eat a whole one to yourself (although, we recommend sharing so as to try more than one iteration) Umu’s exceptional, fermented dough and beautifully fresh ingredients will ensure you don’t feel too full afterwards (certainly an added bonus). If you find yourself torn between options, rally a crew and try the Four Seasons, the Funghi, and a four cheese calzone to share for the ideal Italian indulgence. Since opening with great aplomb in 2022, Bivacco has become a go-to destination for a delicious long Italian lunch. Here, the Gamberi is a must-try, featuring garlic prawns, chilli, courgette and San Marzano tomato.

Real Italian Sourdough
Squisito’s woodfired manuka pizza is easily one of the best in the City, with topping options that run the gamut from tried-and-true classics (Margherita, Prosciutto, Capricciosa) to more unexpected takes.

It has been said that you can tell the talents of a pizza chef by their take on a margherita, and Andiamo is no exception.

In fact, Dante’s was also recently given the seventh spot on the ’50 Top Pizza’ list of the best pizzerias in the Asia Pacific region for 2023.
