    Meat feast pizza (personal size)
    Lee D.

    We were jet lagged and hungry - not a good combination - and we wanted some quick and casual food. After wandering around Queenstown for about 20 minutes, we finally settled on Winnie's. Pizzas are offered in three sizes. There was a lunch special (Meat Feast) which suited my husband. Salami, beef, bacon, chorizo, caramelized onions, and aioli. He liked it! I ordered the Caprico (tomatoes, pesto, red onions, rock salt, and spring onions, and mushrooms, which I opted to omit). A bit heavy on the pesto but tasty with a crispy crust. Husband had a beer and I had a cider. Hit the spot. We were schooled on what happens when you are finished with your meal and wondering why your server has walked past your table a half dozen times with nary a glance in your direction. Turns out you need to go to the bar to ask for your check and pay! Oh well, lesson learned!

    Food: The pizzas had a crisp-type crust with very little 'chew' (not our favorite). They had some interesting choices of toppings. We tried the Tri Factor (steak, bacon, mushrooms, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce) and Montonara (chicken, sundried tomatoes, brie, spring onions, sweet chili sauce, pistachio sour cream). They were very filling. Service: On the slow side, even though the restaurant was not busy Ambiance: Large rustic space. Casual.

    Seafood pasta and arancini balls with chips

    Love that this joint is a pizza place that turns into a club/bar. My friend and I were roadtripping through New Zealand and ended up at Winnie's for our last night in Queenstown. We splurged a bit to say the least and split the seafood pizza (blanking on the actual name), arancini balls, and chips. Seafood pizza: Pretty darn fishy tbh. And I found the smoked salmon to be really salty. Would not recommend. Arancini balls: Pretty average, the risotto could have been a bit creamier. Chips: Can't go wrong. It was a huge portion size and I really liked the condiments it came with. In all this place has a great vibe, and free WiFi, but the service was just okay. Would come back for a night out, but the food was too pricey imo.

    Trump! Can't escape him not even while eating delicious pizza at Winnie's.

    So perhaps this place is a little touristy and caters to a younger demographic, but we certainly had a great time! It can get a little loud in here so know what to expect. Unlike some other places we will not mention, cough cough Domino's, the pizza here is GOOD. Their signature pizza, the Montonara, is absolutely scrumptious and you will not regret ordering it. Their BBQ chicken version is also pretty great. I will say that the garlic bread is more like a garlic and cheese pizza and we found that odd, but we ate it anyway as it didn't taste bad. Nice ladies with great service here, as well as big ol' beers that are cold, tasty, and not super pricey. SALUD, MUCHACHOS!

    Pepperoni pizza (single) with glass of Pinot noir

    This restaurant offers free WiFi which is ideal for international tourists, like myself. I had a single pizza and it was delicious. The staff was very attentive and friendly and my food came out quickly. I also had a large class of one of New Zealand's famous Pinot noir's, it did feel a little pricey but I finished everything so it seemed to be worth it! Great casual spot for lunch or dinner if you're in the area. Located right in the center of Queenstown!

    Interesting and unique pizzas. We sat on the patio that overlooked The Mall which was a nice place to people watch. The pizza we ordered had brie which at the time sounded good on the menu but in reality was a lot of cheese. Overall the pizza was a bit heavy but it was lunchtime and we were hungry and it did the job.

    Appetizer was Skinny Dips, basically cheese slices with toppings. It was tasty. Entrees were the Montonara pizza, NZ mushroom tagliatelle pasta, fish and chips. We all thought the pizza did not live up to the hype. My fish was over-fried on some edges, but otherwise okay. The pasta was good but heavy with a cream sauce. Service was friendly. The hostess actually waited on us as the waitress for our table was slammed!

We arrived after a long day of traveling and they had no reservation for us and said they had no room for us . This was pretty frustrating, especially since we had 4 kids under 6 with us. So then we decided we will just order take away and eat it at a park. When we went to order our food the staff said to wait and they would make sure they could get us seated.

So we asked different local people what they recommend, so after we purchased the first pizza, it looked like an individual size, so we bought another from the second choice and that was not much bigger. We remembered as we were walking through Queenstown that there was another shop handing out samples and it said "Largest Pizza in Queenstown", that was a go for us were quantity was most important, so we got a 3rd pizza from 3 different pizza restaurants. Ended up, all 6 of us preferred the Fat Badgers the most! Half Fat Badger, Half Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very tasty pizza and good size. Was loaded with lots of ingredients and very generous. I would recommend this pizza restaurant over the other "popular" pizza restaurants

But the pizza is very good and the people are great! Enough of a beer selection to get by and not a bad atmosphere for a pizza joint. All in all I'm glad we gave it a try! See for yourself!

    Spending a few days in Queenstown, we attempted to dine at some of the specialty, fancier dining…read morerestaurants, but quickly discovered either 1. most places were unexpectedly closed due to staffing shortages, or 2. they required a reservation. So, we decided let's repeat the previous night's pizza & beer takeaway, dining on the waterfront. Previously, we tried Winnie's; enjoying three small pizzas varieties, packed with NZ signature toppings. This evening, on our way back to Winnie's, we passed by HELL pizza & decided to peruse the menu. Creative, flavorful sounding pies, we decided to switch things up & dine in HELL the appeal was the enhanced toppings- a lot of pies were similar to the favorites we had at the other pizzeria, but there were a few more toppings on each comparable pie in HELL (and not just the Gluttony pie haha), plus the ability to be a Creator! Drool! So we ordered a Lust Deluxe snack-size thin pulled & a Creator (smoked salmon, calamari, mussels, mushrooms, onions, prawns, extra mussels, lemon pepper sauce) Oh, I am glad I don't live in HELL; mainly because I would be eating non-stop. The toppings were delicious-hearty chunks, well-seasoned, unique flavor combinations. The crust wasn't anything special, it had a light buttery flaky undercooked dough taste- wish it was a bit more oven charred crispy, but it held all the toppings well, without being too soggy, falling apart. Overall, would recommend!

This was epic because my boyfriend could get his meat pizza and I could order anything from this page-long menu made just for me! Another thing I loved about this place - the wine list comes along with a huge selections of vegan wines, marked with a little circled V in front of them. Pretty sure this is my new favorite place! I ordered a penne alla arrabbiata with a glass of *vegan* Italian Primitivo and holy f*ck was I happy when that baby was placed in front of me. Granted, I'd been traveling most of the day and hadn't had a proper meal, but I ate that penne so fast, my mouth was on fire from the chile. They even topped it with some bread crumbs instead of the parmesan that the non-vegan version comes with. Et viola! I was in vegan heaven. My boyfriend was happy with his pizza, and I was hoping to save room for dessert, but couldn't make it happen after that pasta. I did like that I left feeling full but not overly stuffed, but I was really hoping to order the vegan chocolate cake or the coconut panna cotta. I'm hoping to make it back here before leaving QT, if only for dessert!

    Like everywhere in NZ, make reservations…read more I'm staying in Queenstown for a few days, and booked this reservation a few nights prior. The restaurant itself is long and narrow, so tables on one side and servers and the kitchen on the other. I ordered bruschetta for my starter & spaghetti bolognese for my main. The bruschetta came out with sliced prosciutto on top which I could have done without. I wished for more tomatoes, onion, and oil. The spaghetti bolognese was flavorful but just ok? Like, I'm not Italian but can make a better version of that at home. Although it's a simple dish, that probably not something you want to hear when you're selling it for $36 NZD. So the overall dining experience was a bit meh. I went to a pizzeria in Te Anau with better flavors. It might be a nice dinner date because the ambiance is lovely, if a bit loud. The service was fine, if a bit on the slow side.

Not much to look at but it was a little quieter and away from the ovens back there. Husband had the fettuccine carbonara and I had a margarita pizza. Both were excellent. We started with a Caprese salad which was also excellent. My pizza had homemade crust with the bubbly burnt edges that happens in a woodfire oven. So good. Service was excellent. Parking on street is less than rare so we parked in a lot for roughly $10USD. Great experience.
