Tonino's Pizzeria

First time visiting last night. Small but homely- good for 2 people. Nice service. Decent amount of free on-road parking. Takeaway is cheaper than dining in. We dined in at $33NZD per pizza. Bought 2. One was DELICIOUS and the other was underwhelming for its price but I wouldn’t rule it out, just try another one. Would go again.

Real flavoursome food. I got a house special, volcano pizza. Nothing bad to say about the food it was excellent. The olives caught me (and another customer) off guard though as they came still cooked in the pips so watch out for that! Maybe it gives it more saltiness or something idk but it wasn’t a problem. Only gripe might be the customer service? It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t spectacular either. They seemed a little preoccupied and tired. But it was the end of the day. Honestly I probably caught them on an off day or something. Would be keen to go back and try out the rest of the menu. Tried some of my wife’s Tortellini and it was tasty too. If you want a safe bet I’d recommend the pizza. My one was nice and crisp whilst also having a decent ratio of bread and toppings. Nothing I hate more than getting a pizza with barely any toppings. Try it out!

I originally gave this place a 1 star review earlier in the year due to the waitresses not wanting my business 45 minutes before their closing time. Today I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The pizza was delicious but what was even better was the service as the chef listened to my unique dietary requirements and was happy to make the adjustment.
