Non Solo Pizza

Voted one of Auckland’s Top 50 restaurants – 2010 Metro Audi Restaurant Awards.

Walking into Non Solo Pizza is a visual feast. From the displays of preserved vegetables, fresh bread, the pizza oven and the contorni window, to the stacks of firewood round the marble fire place, this is a place to feel good in. The mix of traditional and contemporary is evident in both the great Italian cuisine and the ambience. Non Solo Pizza boasts the most beautiful courtyard dining experience in Auckland!

Every Thursday, come and enjoy Aperitivo – a late afternoon drink with a delicious selection of complimentary finger foods to ‘tease your appetite.’
