Definitely a great experience, we would 100% recommend giving this place a try if you are in the Wanaka area!

This is partly because it's not always a bargain, at least not in Hawaii (where we live). But when we were on the search to feed our 7 year old twins and spied a familiar pizza spot on the horizon, the dynamic duo decided that they "had" to have pizza for lunch, especially since the other option in consideration (by mom and dad) was fish 'n chips. We walked in, were immediately welcomed and explained how the two different menu options worked (one for take out and one for eat in). Hell, I wasn't even considering an "eat in" option since there wasn't a dining room in sight. I conveyed this to the Mrs. and she was like whatever gets these kids fed. So I settled the family in the dining area (upstairs) and headed back down to do the ordering. Looking at the prices for a pie ($5 NZD), I figured that these pizzas must be of the "personal pan" variety, ya know, a mini pizza for one. So I ordered a cheese pizza for each of the girls, a veggie for my bride and a Italian sausage (which wound up being much different than I was expecting, more a hot dog taste to me) for me. Since we need fluids, I ordered the 1.5L soda and garlic bread as well. Grand total: $25 NZD! WHAT!?!? That's about $17 USD . . . I could NEVER feed a family of 4 in Honolulu for that. Bargain! After 10 minutes or so, we were notified via a monitor upstairs that our order was complete. I headed downstairs and this dude was standing there with 4 MEDIUM sized pizzas. I verified that this was my order and, surprisingly, he nodded . . . why, yes it is. Shocked, I grabbed the pies, soda and bread, and headed upstairs. My wife saw the full sized pizzas and the look on her face said it all: guess we're having pizza for dinner, too. The service was fantastic and efficient. The store was exceptionally clean. There was a customer restroom. The price was RIGHT - a medium size pizza for $3.40!!! Thank you Dominos New Zealand.

The crackling blew away in the wind before it arrived at our table (we were sitting outside.) Our waiter did bring us some more, and it was good once we tried it. The pork belly itself was tasty, but a bit dry. - I really liked the blue cod slider. The bread was fluffy and the cod was really tasty! I'd have those again. - The Sauteed broccoli and dukkah was soooo good! I think this was my favourite part of the meal - We had a side salad of rocket, pear, walnuts and blue cheese. This wasn't bad, but I found it a bit underwhelming. Ignore this and get the broccoli! They serve pimms, which made me happy, but they didn't get it quite right. Ah well. I should know not to expect perfect pimms outside of the UK. All in all it was decent pub-style food. I'd be happy to come back.

Pretty dope that you can bring food and drinks into the theatre. We dropped in earlier during the day and bought tickets for the last show of the night. It's $15.00 NZD/ticket for adults. There's an intermission halfway through the movie (15 minutes) to grab cookies and drinks. Everyone comes here for the comfy couches and cars to sit in. It's a fun spot with a cafe inside. There's drinks (beer, wine, cider, coffee and tea), popcorn and pastries available. Their speciality is homemade ice cream ($4.50 NZD) and cookies ($4.00 NZD, three kinds). Cool that they also have a few board games to keep you entertained. We came back to eat dinner. The menu is small but there's pizza, snacks, salads and burgers. We shared two dishes. - Lamb burger ($16.00 NZD) - lamb was excellent; cooked perfectly and had a great spice rub. We also liked the beets and cabbage slaw along with the bun. - Spinach ravioli ($15.00 NZD) - won't blow you away but it was a solid ravioli. Great spot to watch a movie on a rainy day. Food is pretty solid too.

A very large and inviting space and probably a good place to head out to when you just can't find a table or don't want to deal with a long wait at one of the restaurants in the main Wanaka strip. Between the 3 of us, we got the Philly Cheesesteak, BBQ pork sandwich on GF bun, Cauliflower soup, the tandoori wings and a couple beers. The food was all around pretty good, with the star being the wings (I could eat a whole plate of these myself and still want more). The cheeseteak was the only disappointing part of the meal as the whole thing became a huge saucy mess with way way way too much mustard overwhelming all the flavors on the dish. Beyond that we had a great meal here and would definitely consider returning for dinner and/or a couple drinks!
