In general I feel like Neopolitan pizza is just the best already. I mean I feel like the rest of…read moreItaly should just not even bother and stick to just pasta, but I digress. At Alessandro's they have a calzone that's pretty solid, and unfortunately they don't automatically give you a side of marinara with it, but if you just order it separately believe me, that alone will more than make up for the oversight. Alessandro's marinara was stop-your-heart delicious. My wife was really enjoying her pizza as well obvs. The service was pretty great too, but seriously ... those pizzas. If you go to Havelock you HAVE to go to Alessandro's. I think I'll try the pasta next time.

Came here on the recommendation of a friend, and it was a very good pizza.

We were trying to decide where to eat in Napier. We decided on Italian so we went to this place…read more The owner is from northern Italy so that was a good start. I ordered some garlic bread followed by lasagna. The bread was very good and when the lasagna came I was anticipating a good meal. It was great! This was a great evening. The owner stopped by the table often and the waitress was very helpful too. Did I say this was a great meal! We dined in Mar 2017.

My best friend and I were so hungry and pizza sounded really good so we searched for a pizza place…read morewhile we were driving and this was the nearest one we could find. What a find! As others have mentioned, Mizzoni is in Ohakune and is a small truck trailer or shipping container of some sort. Totally wasn't expecting it to be so small, but the pizza there was really good! I ordered the veggie one they have with beets, carmelized onions, and watched my pizza being made down to the tossing of the dough! My best friend got a pepperoni pizza. Pepperoni is different in NZ than in the US (fyi Americans) The guy working there was super friendly and passionate about the town, the pizza company and was really easy to talk to and connect with. My buddy and I were the only ones there so by the end of our experience, I was ready for more! There are only a couple of outdoor tables close to the restaurant so I recommend taking this to go if it's cold outside. I was a bit on the cold side and it was early spring when I came here. Beautiful view of the mountains though!
