Our party enjoyed attentive service and superlative food. I had the pan-roasted snapper, as did a friend, and both dishes were beautifully cooked and presented. My only gripe is that the new courtyard lacks the rustic charm of its predecessor. I especially miss the water feature. read more

Excellent food and service. Cute place right on the main strip in Parnell. We had some sandwiches and a beer and just enjoyed relaxing in a comfortable setting with good friends. The sandwiches were absolutely fantastic! Next time I'm in the area, despite all the other great looking places to try, I'm returning here! read more

NSP is a big restaurant, with inside tables and a garden style, covered courtyard. It was a rainy, Monday evening when I visited and no one was sitting in the courtyard. Despite this, we didn't have to wait for a table inside at all. I'll start by saying I had a great meal at NSP and really rated the pizza (simple salami, tomato, mozzarella and basil is tough to beat). The spaghetti pasta was also very tasty and full of flavour - the touch of walnut was a very nice addition. However, watch out for the staff asking if you'd like sparkling water. Of course it would be too good to be true, but that bottle of San Pellegrino that just got put on your table, will end up on your bill. I think it would be nice if the staff mentioned this; but now you'll know that if you ask for a regular jug of tap water on the table you'll be saving yourself $9.50. read more

Non Solo Pizza - A really good pizza - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

See all

Make sure you go straight back through the bar to see the lovely restaurant! We missed it first time around, the food was fantastic! The service was outstanding, highly recommend it. Beef carpaccio, was a standout, as was the Bolognese. We had a lot of incredible meals in Auckland, but I think this might have been the best. read more

After I visited NSP for the first time, I was asked by a few friends what I thought of the experience. I remember saying that I liked everything except the name! I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't know what "non solo" translates to. I walked right past this place a number of times when I simply wasn't in the mood for pizza. The first time friends and I visited NSP, it was with a stack of restaurant vouchers that we'd been given as a thank you gift. With a good couple of hundred bucks to spend, we tucked into a huge range of what NSP had to offer. The waiter gave my bestie and I a funny look when we both ordered the Pesceti Marinati as a starter, and when it turned up I saw why. There was more than two portions of this delicious dish - bite sized fish fillets with lemon, chilli and Italian parsley - on each plate and way too much for one person! Our mains were also enormous, as well as expertly crafted, which all four diners were extremely impressed about. We left NSP completely satisfied (and ruing the fact we'd always thought it was just a pizza place). read more

Non Solo Pizza - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Every time I feel like a delicious fish dish, I head straight to Non Solo Pizza for their Market Fish. Amazing every time, without fail. Sitting in their outside area is divine in the summer, with gorgeous plants surrounding you and the sound of the water features trickling away, you almost feel like you are on holiday. The staff are incredibly well presented and treat you like royalty. I've been coming here with my family for a long, long time. Their extensive menu caters for all. Absolutely love this place! read more

Non Solo Pizza - Crispy pan fried snapper and cannellinni bean purée with capsicum and bisque coulis - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

This place gets a two just because I like the atmosphere, but that's where the compliments end. Okay, not to be mean, the staff are quite lovely and their bathrooms are clean. The food is SO average though it brings down the whole event. I went for a long lunch with work - I was really looking forward to a delicious pasta - (the kind I would get at Delicious!!) but that wasn't going to happen. To start, I ordered the beetroot and goat's cheese ravioli. To be fair, the ravioli itself was lovely and the beetroot (where I could taste it) was moreish. The problem was it was completely soaked in tomato sauce which destroyed the delicate flavours of the ravioli. Such a shame, because all the ravioli itself needed was a little drizzle of truffle oil or something and it would've been amazing. Moving on, my main was the lamb. It was tough, dry, a little cold, and just kinda boring. There was no food envy either, as no one had anything that I wanted. The duck looked terrible, as did the eye fillet. And it was WAY overpriced. The pizzas looked okay... but then again, I didn't try any, so it might've been awful. The kids who ordered them didn't even eat it either. We stayed, we drank.. We all bitched about the food. The atmosphere is lovely, and it's a lot of fun on a Friday night, but they've gotta sort that food problem out. They can't have the same menu as they had in 1998 - Auckland has got some great restaurants now and NSP needs to up its game. read more

Came here for my birthday because Baduzzi couldn't fit is in. Yum! Great food, my vegetarian boyfriend messed up and accidentally ordered a pizza with meat in it... the staff were happy to take it away and whip up a vege pizza for him. The waitress asked if it was my birthday, and when my dessert came out it had a candle in it. Nice personalisation. I'm not often in Parnell but if I was, I'd go back to NSP read more

Very nice environment for casual or business or dating dinner. Definitely will visit here again...food is not as bad either. read more

Non Solo Pizza - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

The service was great on our visit. Our pugliese pizza was one of the best I've ever had, save for in Italy. Salad and pizza ingredients were very fresh. read more

Osteria Bar Vino in Parnell Village is a quaint little place that offers the most delectable Italian sandwiches and pastries. I particularly enjoyed the BLT which had bits of crumbly porcetta and fresh herbs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the orange creme-filled cakes. Very lovely flavors and among my best food experiences in Auckland so far. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at! 100% recommend for anyone in the area. Definitely recommend margarita pizza that was the best I've ever eaten. We had to order another pizza at the end of the meal because of how good it was. read more

Fancy place, good customer service. Amazing pizza!!!! We had the "mediterraneo" pizza and it was delicious. Their dough is crispy and perfectly cooked in a wood fire oven. It's worthy for the price specially for a date, special occasions or even a happy hour. read more

Non Solo Pizza - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

This restaurant is very spacious with a big bar area. It seems like it gets crowded, especially the bar area. The menu offers a good variety of basic Italian - antipasto, pizza, pasta, dessert. We were a large crowd so we ordered a bit of everything. Nothing was out of this world good, but nothing was bad either. Non Solo seems more like the place to be see and see other people rather than a place of outstanding food. So if you want to go somewhere that sounds and looks fancy come here, but if you want real Italian food maybe go elsewhere. read more

I would like to give this place a higher review but the staff and service here is a bit outrageous. I've been here a number of times as the food is ok but they look at you as you arrive and I swear each time it's like...."sigh....a customer." Cheer up you lot!!!! The pizza is good and I've tried a couple of the mains. Wouldn't come here again anytime soon though as I always feel so unwelcome...talked with a few others who have had similar experiences. read more

We had a group booking. The food was great which was just as well as the main male server on the floor would send us filthy looks almost every time we asked for something. I usually do not give bad reviews but when i see a waiter roll his eyes and give a nasty look to a parent when their child has accidently spilt something. Which the mum cleaned up herself straight away. Its s pity as i like the food but will not return any time soon to be sighed at and given the evil eye just to ask for a drink. If your staff cannot be happy at work they should not be there. Not what i expected of nsp ! read more

Tucked away behind the Auckland-famous Parnell Restaurant Strip, sits the hidden oasis that is Non Solo Pizza. Looking at its tiny cobbled entrance way from the Main Street you would never expect the spacious, fairy lit Italian grotto that awaits you. I can sincerely say it is one of THE most beautiful restaurant locations in Auckland. The food, whilst enjoyable, unfortunately didn't quite deliver on the Roman Escape promise of the location. Featured below is the 'Misto' a selection of breads and 'Stuzzichini' (translation: think antipasti, a series of small plates to pick and choose from). This, I must say, tasted as beautiful as it looked, the breads and dips were wonderfully flavourful and the crumbed eggplant was on point. The wood fired pizza which followed it though, was not so. We had a variety of them across the table, but found them all overly salty, which was disappointing. For main we had the Gnocchi and Beef Cheek Ragu and the Chicken and Spinach Raviloli. Both were nice, but didn't quite blow us away. All in all not a bad experience, but not quite rave worthy either read more

Non Solo Pizza - Misto with Stuzzichini (translation: antipasti platter) - Italian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

A staple of Parnell high street, this friendly restaurant offers traditional Italian fare - and massive portions (for this who are not into haute cuisine platters). It's family friendly and does much more than pizza. However, the pizzas are also good. read more

Good looking staff not very nice prices and the food is alright ...it was my colleagues birthday dinner and we ordered several dishes,I ordered a pizza and it was alright,the ambience was gorgeous.. Not something you re really missing out on if you haven't been here,I prefer covo ponsonby compared to this restaurant . We had a great night with workmates though . read more

This is the second time I have been here. The first was a couple of years ago and I wasnt impressed then. The second was recently and I was less impressed than the first time. The star goes to wait staff and the decor. Cant fault that. However the food is average at best. I had the medditeraneo pizza and shared the risotto. Pizza no better than the wood fired pizza guys at the market (I would go as far as to say not as good) and the risotto was flavourless and watery. Someone else at the table ordered fries and asked for tomatoe sauce to which they were given tomato pasta paste??? If youre after good food I would not recommend this place. However if you want to meet friends for a few drinks in a nice setting then this would be a good place to meet. read more

Do not, I repeat, do NOT order pizza from this place. We paid $26 for a very small, soggy pie, which had almost no cheese on it, half a pepper, four pieces of Italian sausage and ONE basil leaf. It was as if someone was playing a joke on us. Really really bad. read more

Amazing old school bruschetta & pizza. The tiramisu was my favorite in years. The terrace was beautiful also. Highly recommended.

Pasta was well undercooked, as in floury and starchy... Called the waiter, he said "sorry I'm not the cook" like it wasn't his problem. Called the manager and she thought that it was because we didn't like our pasta al dante when actually we don't like our pasta raw. Service is pretty rubbish to be honest. Very snobby. Not coming back here again. read more

It's like a combination of family Italian restaurant and slightly fine dining elements. The prices are definitely fine dining, but I can't say that the food is that kind of experience. We had some antipasti and some pizza. Definitely the best pizza in Parnell, and the price to match. In short, not exactly what I'd call value (what is, these days), but a fine enough dining experience nonetheless. Nothing offensively bad, but I was quizzical with respect to the price. read more

The service is just so bad here! Very snobby, eventually turned to be rude! I have been here 3 times for business purposes, have received terrible experience each time! It's very embarrassing to come with clients and colleagues. The food is certainly over priced for what it is, didn't get any good feedback for their pizzas. read more

Quite impressed with the atmosphere in this unique pizza joint. The pizza was great; something was different about the cheese ...it was tangy in a good way....maybe a New Zealand thing. A few great veggie options in both pizzas and pastas. I left more than full :) read more

I came here for the first time with a few friends. The food was very good and the atmosphere was great! The desserts were definitely one of the highlights. Our server was so friendly and helpful with menu items. For couples wanting a nice romantic evening or just a cool hangout spot for friends, I would recommend. read more

Given this place a try a few times, pizza is nice but nothing really stood out on the menus and the things that I tried weren't anything that wowed me. Loved the set up, very beautiful and the ambiance is nice. Just feel as though the staff aren't happy, I feel like more of a nuisance when I come here. read more

Booked a table 2 days prior for a birthday dinner. We were 4 adults plus a baby. Arrived to be seated at a tiny table that looked like it should have seated only 2 people. It was in the corner outside and there were a lot of flies. We ordered 3 pizzas and a calamari. We had hoped all the food could arrive quickly and at once as we had a baby with us and didn't want the dinner to be too long. Obviously there was not enough space for all the food (as the waiter had also pointed out) so not everything could be brought out at once. Calamari was bland and floury. 2 of the pizzas were fine, nothing to rave about, the calabrese pizza was like cardboard, extremely dry and bland. Had no time for dessert as the baby was starting to get tired by the time the last pizza arrived. Service was attentive but cold. No smiles, did not feel warm and friendly as I had seen on other reviews. Extremely disappointing. read more
