I arrived around five thirty and the popular pizzeria had a few guests eating pasta on the front outdoor seating area. The owner who bakes all the pizza's himself is a friendly and humorous Greek man, and was only too happy to point out the fave choices of pizza for us first time visitors. The Top picks were Greco, a delicious topping of lamb, red onion, olives, peppers, tzatziki, basil and parsley (My first pick also). And the Quattro Stagioni which had Salami, Ham, Prawns and Mushroom, this was sensational (my second pick). As it was the premiere visit, we opted for the two small pizzas, costing both under 18 dollars each, and let me tell you, I thought I could have eaten a pizza to myself, however the servings were so great that I only managed about 2 pieces each. Beautiful pizza base , and the toppings are just divino divine! I will be back as soon as I can, to try more pizza flavours, and a pasta dish for sure.

Definitely the best pizza we had in New Zealand and it made for a random evening of fun.

Yum yummy yum. My friend took me to this place last Saturday…read morenight because I was craving good pizza. Yay good pizza found! The prices are really decent, my small size which included 8 pieces, was only $14. That's a great price for Auckland, with artisanal pizzas usually starting from $20 upwards. I ordered one with ham, olives, artichokes, garlic, and mushrooms. It was divine!! I wanted to eat the whole thing but my friend reminded me to save room for dessert. She had a spicy pepperoni pizza and a cider. Then we both got the Venice Special Cake, a real treat. It's like a layered mouse cake, with walnut pastry, dark chocolate mousse, and Frangelico. It was served with whipped cream and an interesting vanilla ice cream that was almost more like creamy sorbet. Really excellent experience over all! We had a 7pm reservation, and by time we left at 8:30 the place was packed, not an empty seat. Clearly a fan favorite for Milford. The rest of the menu looks delicious so I will definitely be back!

I said to the waiter it was wrong, he told me I didn't even know what I ordered and therefore should leave the premises! What!!! It went from bad to worse, we were then abused and berated in front of the entire restaurant, my 79 year old father was told he was drunk (1 glass of wine) and we were repeatedly told to get out. I am amazed that this confrontation all came about because my order was incorrect, WE were abused and embarrassed in front of other diners due to the rude man. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

When I could eat pizza/non paleo foods I would head here. Amazing wood fired pizza's in a charming small restaurant. They also have half price Wednesday's which means their large pizza's are $25. The service is so personal and this place really shines at night time. They have a lot of fairy lights which really add to the ambiance of the place. I would say their drinks are a little on the pricey side but over-all this is a great place for sneaky pizza! Probably one of the best pizza places on the shore side.

The servings are generous and the flavours are bold and robust. Not to mention, they have a fantastic wood-fired oven that pumps out perfectly imperfect pizzas and calzones - great for takeaways! We came here for dinner recently with the extended family and it was an absolute treat. Whilst the majority of the table went for the veal, I opted for the linguine with prawns, chilli, garlic, lemon and olive oil. Such a classic combination but an absolute winner in my book. The pasta was cooked al dente and the chillii /garlic/lemon ratio was spot on. My dad raves about this place and after our most recent visit, it's not hard to see why!

He was really nice and told us about how they're called "Loco Pizza" because their motto is "crazy fresh food" and they don't freeze anything. Squared up the bill (which was very competitive - especially given the location) and tucked in. With the fam we got a pizza, pasta dish and a prawn salad. At first I thought that the pasta and salad dishes would be a bit average because that's usually the case when a pizza place tries to offer more than they know but that was definitely not the case. We all shared around our food because it was so good. The prawn salad had some really great sauce and decent portion sizes - heaps of prawns, pasta was nice and creamy and delicious and the pizza was big and tasty. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Not ideal as we weren't able to enjoy the awesome look of cake for that long before doing the candles, cutting and getting to bed.
