So here I am in Auckland, Walking for kilometers with a mate who says I have to Taste this pizza. I warned If it isn't Great, we will have Issues like Vogue. Well in Retrospect we all Have Issues. Back to this Pizza. So We finally reach a Fairly Banal building in a basic Hood. The Staff greeted Us as if we were family Members and I immediately Ordered a dry Prosecco to Celebrate the Eve and the End of a Trek. After perusing The Menu I inquired how good Is their sausage. He started to Say 'Organic Grown award Winning.....' I'll HAVE IT! And what a Pizza it was. Award Winning for Sure. The Sausage was made With Organic Pork and Fennel. Moist and Meaty Never filled with the fatty Chewy less appealing but Widely used combination. The Red Onions seemed Sautéed and the Fresh Mozzarella Melted in Puddles. Then there is The OVEN and CRUST. Bellisimo. Puffed and Baked in the Ultimate Brick Oven. This Pie is PERFECTION! read more

Dining here was a very pleasant experience. Service and atmosphere were very nice and food was delicious. They didn't have a whole lot for off-the-menu vegan options, but what I got was good. It looks like you can create a vegan option, but it's a rather large up-charge to make it that way, so I just opted for the marinara pizza to avoid that up-charge. It was simple yet delicious. read more

This place is legit. Authentic, Neapolitan-style pizza made with fresh, simple ingredients - just like pizza should be... All of the pizzas we tried were tasty but easily our favourite was the Miki, which is made sans tomato sauce with thinly sliced potato, beautiful bresaola (air-cured beef), rocket, parmesan and a generous drizzle of truffle oil. It's pizzas like this that make me think all is right in the world... Also, shout out to the owner Luca who sat down with us at the end of our meal and shared some of his pizza knowledge. He is clearly really passionate about making sure that his pizza is as authentic as possible and made with really high quality ingredients. What a champ! read more

Al Volo is really great because the name is A LOT of fun to say. I like how you can get really breathy and sensual with it. That's a definite plus. Add to that the fact that the pizza from this joint is bloody nice and you've got a really winning combination. They do their pizza in wood fire ovens, which is always a great idea. I love that delicious smokey flavour that you get with wood fire pizza. And the bases are always nice and crispy with a few scrumptious little burned bits. I get the plain cheese because I'm boring and habitual, but they have a wide variety of toppings and flavours on offer. Four stars. read more

When looking around for somewhere to eat near the top of Mt Eden Road, we stumbled upon this little pizza place and decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad that we did. We were greeted with a friendly Italian welcome as soon as we entered the door, and were shown to our table. The interior is not the fanciest, with small tables and plastic chairs, but they are red which is consistent with the Italian theme I guess. The pizzas here are made from scratch, and the kitchen is so close that you can see most of what's going on behind the scenes, which is pretty cool. The food doesn't take long to make and the end result is a quality Italian pizza made by Italians the traditional way. It can seem a little pricey for one pizza, but definitely worth it. read more

Al Volo uses the best cheese in Auckland in my opinion - from Il Casaro and decent salami and a tastier tomato sauce too. If you want authentic Italian Pizza I think you get it here. It's a buzzing little place with only a handful of tables but great for an easy option out. Try the house special "Al Volo" pizza. Service was good from Luca's wife and Luca has a good sense of humour. A little glitch with the bill at the end put a little dampener on the night though. If you want a drink with your dinner there is a wine menu or go to the bar just over the road, The Corner Store, and order your pizza from there. They have a splendid selection. read more

YUM YUM YUM YUM I can't believe i haven't been here sooner. A friend and i grabbed a takeaway pizza from here over the festive season. The menu is incredible, so many yummy options. We were both feeling a little unadventurous so we had the margarita to share. It was AMAZING, fresh tomatoes, tons of basil and just the right amount of cheese. The bases are all made fresh which just adds to the experience. Can't go past a fresh base in my opinion. The service was fast and very friendly. A few people were eating in which looked pleasant, its a very chilled environment. Can't wait to get back and try some of the other pizzas. This place is a hidden gem!! read more

Yummy pizza heaven.... When hungry for pizza, I'll go to Sal's Pizza or Hells. After reading reviews, I thought I'll give this joint a try. I tried the miki pizza and it was de-lish. Such tasty Italian pizza! Great pizza, great service, great company and a great night after having a beautiful sunny day. read more

Al Volo in 5 easy bullet points: 1. It's authentic Italian pizza. They have a giant woodfire, the toppings are simple, the bases are light. 2. Authentic Italian pizzas don't come cheap. They range from $14.50 for plain cheese, to $28.50 for the 'Al Volo' - Buffalo Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, roquette, E.V.O.O., for example. 3. Two people could share a pizza for dinner, but definitely no more. I could probably eat a whole one to myself. 4. There are a few tables to sit at, but takeout is their main business. 5. You can order your pizza and eat it across the road at The Corner Bar, which is pretty awesome if you want to get your drink on. read more

I'm not even sure what to say, really. Maybe if this pizza was eaten in the restaurant, maybe it would be ok?? We placed an order through their website for delivery. It showed that the pizza was ready, and they were awaiting the delivery company to pick it up. I waited and waited. 30 min after it showed ready (one hour + after placing the order), I called. "It's the delivery company. They're delayed." Ok, great. So what are we doing to remedy the situation? They were very friendly, super nice, and said they would remake the pizzas because they had been sitting out for so long, and were cold. Great. I hung up, and 3 minutes later, it showed they were out for delivery. You clearly didn't remake 6 pizzas in 3 minutes. So an hour and a half after placing the order, when they had been sitting out at room temp for over an hour, they were delivered. Cold. Limp. Truly awful. The margarita pizza had a total of 6 small leaves of basil. Everything is utterly tasteless. I think I'm still in shock they didn't make an effort to make this right. I said I was fine waiting for them to remake them, because we wanted hot pizza. But clearly that didn't happen. What a disappointment. read more

On first look we were nonplussed - outdoor chairs inside, a savoury pizza named tiramisu (what?!) but we gave it a shot anyway - and the food was great. Definitely recommend dolce pizza (dessert pizza) - custard and blueberries on a full size pizza base! We were glad to get a good two course meal and drinks for two for $50. Service was a bit overbearing but the waitress has only good intentions. Very satisfying dinner. read more

We came across this place quite by accident. I tried the Cotto e Funghi and my wife had Sud Pacifico. We were both suitable full after these lovely pizza's. Could be dangerous if we lived closer !!!! read more

Excellent pizza. Real Italian style pizza. The place was buzzing and we were seated in the back with a good view of the kitchen. It was great watching the pizzas being made and cooked. We had a drink across the street at the Corner Store before dinner. Would highly recommend the Tiramisu pizza ( not a desert) though there is tiramisu on the desert menu. read more

Truly exceptional! I wish I had of taken a photo of our food, but it still would not have done justice. We ordered starters and pizzas, all was 100% and tasted authentic Italian. Couldn't fault the staff and the restaurant was set up lovely with great outlook to the bustling street. The toilets where clean and so was everything else. Food came out fast and we were offered a box as we had heaps of fantastic food we couldn't finish at the time. Stuffed full!! read more

You don't need to be a teenager, a mutant or a turtle to become a fan of Al Volvo pizza! Luca and his team make a bloody good Margherita! The Miki is also worth a mention, it really is one of the best white pizzas around. To top it all off, you get pretty good service too. Besides, if you have any clue at all about how strict and precise the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana guidelines are, you would be totally appreciative of their efforts. In fact, after viewing the AVPN's tedious list of rules and regulations it's a small wonder that anyone dares to take on the challenge of making Neapolitan-style pizza - at all! read more

Great gourmet pizza at reasonable prices It's a bit limited on the variety for the vegetarian eater or anyone who avoids pig, but for the typical meat eater, the pizzas are prime. Good salads too. read more

Delicious pizza! I have never been to this pizzeria before - until now. I purchased a 'deal' online so decided to sway from my other favs. There were a few choices: Calabrese, Cotto, Cotto e Funghi, Margherita, Romana and some others. Decided on the Cotto e Funghi (Mozzarella, Cooked Ham, Mushrooms, Oregano) normally $24.50 & Calabrese (Spicy Salami & Mozzarella) normally $22.50. Both pizzas were flavoursome, thin crust, traditionally 'Neopolitan'; cooked on stone in a wood-fire oven! All the staff are Italian so extremely authentic. They also do salads from $12 & desert from $10. Profiteroles anyone? Thoroughly enjoyed the entire pizza! Ha! You can order on-line, they have a Facebook page with regular updates & also opt to dine-in. Yelped! read more

Best pizza I've had in a long time, the Miki in particular - it's a white pizza (in that it has no tomato sauce), topped with bresaola, thinly shaved potato, the freshest burrata, then flavoured with rosemary and truffle oil. Superb! The dough is made in a traditional way, and you can really taste the difference. I got excited about a tiramisu pizza, but alas it was multiple layers of savoury ingredients, not a sweet one. The actual tiramisu dessert was the owner's special recipe, using mascarpone from Il Casaro and the best Marsala. Luca, owner and chef, is one enthusiastic and passionate Italian. Look out for some of his recipes in Taste magazine. read more

A while ago if I wanted a pizza take-away, I would have gone somewhere like Hell's or Dominoes but that was before I discovered Al Volo's! They are so good here because they are thin and crispy and you don't get that stodgy feeling after them like you do with other take-away pizza's. Here you can also request little to no cheese which I often do and I just get more of their other ingredients, so yum! You can order online which takes all the fuss out of things and I just go and pick them up when they are ready. Be aware that these pizza's aren't cheap cheap, if you are wanting $4.99 hawaiian pick up you won't find it here but I think you know where to go ya cheapskates :) These taste BEAUTIFUL, the ingredients are so fresh and having them wood-fired just adds this depth in taste like nothing else mmmmm, one pizza is the perfect size for me they aren't really sharing size because they are thin. read more

Dined here tonight and really enjoyed it. Pizzas were very good, family had a desert pizza to finish with and it was delicious. We would certainly pop back here when staying over in Auckland again. Pleasant setting and good service. read more

Just get to this place. I have lived in Italy, and eaten at some of it's most famous pizza shops. The only pizza I've ever eaten that comes close to Al Volo is Stella Di Stella in a little village in Emilia Romagna called Ciano D'Enza. The guy is twice World Champion Pizza Cook (Napolotino traditional section, the most competitive group). Al Volo might even be better. Make no mistake... if you get real pizza (not chain-store garbage) this place is The Best Pizza You Will Ever Eat. It's a kind of fun joint too. Just go there. read more

I distinctly remember walking by Al Volo four years again on a discovering Mt Eden adventure and thought to myself, "must try this place..." Finally years later, after forgetfulness and oblivion I have finally tried them and its been truly a bittersweet victory! Sweet victory that I finally found Napoli style pizza that really turns my crank but bitter that I have been missing out all this time! I got the Tiramisu pizza which has ham, salami, artichoke, mushroom, mozzarella, and green olives. My friend got the mici which was mozzarella, parmesan, extra cured air dryed prosciutto, and potatoes. Both were most excellent and quite filling. So much so that I actually had some to take home which is a rarity in the Auckland dining scene. The owners are super friendly and so super passionate about their pizza that you can actually taste it in the crust if you close your eyes. For me, getting pizza into the territory of great from good, is all about the crust and man their crust is the business. Crispy on the outside, just moist enough on the inside and actually flavorsome. I can't wait to go back and evangelize to all the greatness of Al Volo! read more
