Dantes Pizzeria

My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and suffice to say, it did not disappoint. The service was polite, speedy, friendly and unequivocally welcoming. In particular, the manager was extraordinarily hospitable. On an even greater note, the food was mouth watering, aromatic and 100% the most delectable and authentic Italian pizza. It exceeded its title of the best pizza in New Zealand and I believe is some of the best pizza in the entire world. I would recommend this to any body with a hankering for an exceptionally phenomenal dining experience :)

When I found a Laneway in Auckland with heat lamps and alfresco dining (instead of wheelie bins) I jumped for joy. Dantes is one of a number of popular restaurants along the laneway. The service and food were very good. Even though the weather did not cooperate, it was still cosy. Thank you to the kitchen and front of house staff. ❤️

Walked pass Dante’s on a Thursday night and was attracted by the menu and the friendly owner standing outside greeting. They have a proper highchair which is a bonus! The owner (assuming) suggested a creamy pasta and a plain simple pizza for us so we can share with my little one. Perfect choices! The pizza dough was so good and apparently fermented for 48 hours, so soft yet chewy with right amount of toppings. My little one enjoyed it so much. The house made pasta was also delicious but doesn’t feel too heavy. The meal was great and the services from all was very welcoming and attentive. We enjoyed it thank you ☺️

Absolutely amazing pizza! Best in nz! The chef's are very friendly and the foh staff are super nice! A real family atmosphere with them all singing along to the classic Italian music. Service was super quick and always with a warm smile. So glad they are still here after the lock downs. Also don't forget their pasta menu! Hand made and delicious! 10/10
