Oh look, we've got a voucher for that pizza place in Onehunga - let's go. We pulled up right outside, there was no one inside but the handful of tables were set nicely and the banquette along the wall looked inviting. There's pastas and salads on the menu too and we thought we'd found a place with something to please everyone. We sat down at the table furthest from the front but there was a problem. The sun. True enough, we'd been out in it all day and had our full complement so may not be a problem for some people. For the five of us though, that big plate glass window with that big burning sun coming down in the West was just too much to bear so we had to leave. Such a shame and easily remedied by a blind. Really, in the early evening this place is on FIRE. We might go back in the Winter.

And I gotta say... DAMN!!!! Their pizzas are THE BEST I've had EVER!!! Flavours/Taste... Awesome!!! Toppings... Awesome!!! Dough and crust... Awesome!!! Price... Sweeeet!!! I even wanted to munch down on the box it came in 'cos it was holding flavour in. A workmate has been cracking these for a while too and never told us... How dare you man, how dare you!! You don't keep secrets like these!!! Small Hot'nSpicy Beef and Butter Chicken so far (which are pretty big)... And I can't get enough! Can't wait to score a large one, if I can fit it in. My boy even ate the whole slices he had, and he usually leaves the crust. Now that's saying something. They've even got other shops spread around Auckland... Yayaahhh!!! Definitely worth going out of your way and hunting these guys down. Highly recommend!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! (If only I could write in bigger caps!)

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.

If I had to do it again I would try the Gamberoni in garlic and olive oil and white wine lemon beurre blanc. The flavor of the prawns were lost in the napolenta sauce for me however they did do an excellent job on the Cozze. While the pizzas were good they were small so we ended up getting another. The service was a bit slow as there was one waitress busing tables and collecting payment. Over all the food was good and tasted fresh but we expected a little more in terms of service for this price point.

My favorite thing about this place is that I can sit down and have a nice casual meal without resorting to the fast food joints in the area or the too fancy dining establishments. Little Italy has a neighborhood "joint" feel. The place is pretty small and seating at some of the tables are a bit tight but the staff has been very quick and the food has arrived promptly.

My friend had the tortellini which was clearly frozen and not handmade, with once again a watery cream sauce and pieces of avocado! It is true that this place has a cozy 'neighbourhood joint' feel to it but there is a very fine line between cozy and just tacky. The blinking fairy lights, too small booths and being able to hear everyone's conversation a small neighbourhood italian joint it does not make. Our waitress was very nice but a bit clueless about interrupting our conversation to ask if we needed anything and then not realize we needed water top ups. It seemed like everyone else in the restaurant was a tourist, which makes me think that this place is one of the few tourist traps in the CBD. My advice: for the price yelpers local and foreign can definitely find better.
