Parking deck is outside, it's a self service place. They give you buzzers as you order food and drinks and it lights up once your order is ready. It's casual in a classy way. The pizzas were really good. Thin crust, wood-fire and perfect. The drinks also were really good. Mine was a lychee cocktail not for you if you don't like it sweet. I will recommend this place and hopefully revisit.

We started with a pepperoni and sausage pizza - 6 smallish slices and then a very nice Chicken Saltimboca. They had no red pepper flakes but they did have a spicy chili oil that we were able to add to give the pizza a little zip. The crust was well cooked and crispy. The chicken used a full breast instead of flattened chicken breast pieces that we are used to seeing for this dish, however it was still very tasty and a very good deal. The lighting and ambiance is nice, the table service was good and we would recommend this if you are in Taupo and want a tasty Italian meal.

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!

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.
