While on a recent stay in Christchurch, we asked our friends to suggest the best pizza they could…read morethink of. When they suggested Hells, we were intrigued. We ordered a few different pizzas to share. All of them great. Their thin crust is great and they are not shy on toppings. We appreciated that they had a lot of specialty vegetarian and vegan options to choose from. And we found the different levels of hell (spiciness) a fun twist. The pizzas were, in fact, spicy!

I got the spicy bratwurst here. It was okay, nothing all that special. The wiener itself was…read moreseasoned pretty well, but the way it was cooked and handled felt a bit lacking to me, like it wasn't evenly cooked or something, because one side felt like it was a bit tougher than the other side. Overall I would pass and try one of the other food places in the area.

I love the dripping orange oil which sits on top of the slice of bliss that Mr sal provides in fact I have been seen to lick it off the cheese when thinking nobody's looking! My only dog with the pizza is the inconsistency. Sometimes you will receive a orgasm inducing slice of heaven over the counter from an aloof young gentleman with a sexy moustache however other times when you get an old slice it will be dry and not quite as good but Don't get me wrong it's still brill! I'm so passionate about this pizza that I have written short poem about it: Sals oh sals your just so yum, Not going to lie you make me cum! There's not much sexier than an oily slice It's just as beautiful as the northern lights! So good so tasty sals makes me wheeze I just love the dripping slice of cheese!

Three months later and we're still waiting for a refund for two pizzas that were never delivered…read moreleaving us $170 out of pocket. Meant to be delivered by Uber, but 'driver' who was on a bike said she couldn't take the pizzas and so cancelled our order. Numerous emails and constantly fobbed off with 'waiting for head office...' The pizzas taste good, but not worth the bad taste this left for us.

We arrived at Francesca's Italian Kitchen without reservations, but the welcoming staff member said…read morethat we could eat at the window-facing counter, side by side. Actually, we then got to people-watch as they passed by on the street, while viewing the activity at the restaurant, as well. With the menu offerings focused on pizzas and pastas, we both chose to start with a pear-and-gorgonzola salad, with toasted focaccia for the table. The salad greens were perfectly dressed, and the pears had just the right amount of crunch. I would have preferred a bit more gorgonzola, but I'm quite a cheese lover. The duck ragu risotto was fantastic. The risotto was cooked perfectly al dente, and the rich flavors of the ragu and texture of the duck crackling pieces on top were fantastic. Just note that the portion is large, and two people could easily share one serving of this rich risotto. There's a nice wine selection, with offerings from New Zealand and Italy. What a delightful place and a delicious meal! Book a reservation because, even on a Monday evening, the restaurant fills up.

We didn't have a reservation so we were seated at a counter and then later moved to a table. The highlight was definitely the tiramisu --delicious and served with a little scoop of gelato as well. The penne carbonara was also cooked well and tasty. The cannelloni was decent but really packed with spinach --could've used a bit more of the cheese mixed in to balance out the flavor. The burrata appetizer was not my favorite as the inside of the cheese was not very soft and runny. The service was decent throughout and the prices were about what I would expect for the area.

We stopped in on a Wednesday night, quite late and they were able to take our last minute booking before the kitchen closed. Fluffy gnocchi in a tomato and Basil sauce scattered with Parmesan. Tender slices of veal on seasonal vegetables Rolled pork loin, the star of the night. A truly giant but very tender and tasty piece. The staff were friendly and efficient and quite lovely with our group of five. The atmosphere is cozy and family friendly but quite large. Fabulous race of wind of wine and spirits. Even if you just want to pop in and out, call for a a booking and try Casa Nostro, I know I'm going back.
