Dantes Pizzeria

I love the pizza here. really feels like a piece of italy.

Having read online about their accreditation for being the only NZ pizzeria to serve “Authentic Neapolitan Pizza” (La vera pizza nepolitana) as they use source ingredients (flour, tomato, mozzarella) from the Italian region and use a wood fired oven from Napoli, I was very excited to try their food, in particular, the pizza.

As we stopped in for a pre-event lunch, I was instantly drawn to trying the pannouzi vegetariana (vegetarian Napoli street sub) with a glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and I absolutely loved my dish. It arrived within 10 minutes and pizza dough was light, crispy and fluffy with ample tasty filling of zucchini, mushroom, tomato and capsicum. It was truly wonderful, so much so that I’d like to try other flavours or a pizza and there’s a new Dantes in Queens Rise Auckland Central too! Highly recommended!

Been here twice once have had a very great experience and once have had a horrific experience. Once had the pasta and it was extremely undercooked which was dissapointing as it wasn't cheap! other time came with a group of my frienfs and we all shared pizzas and that was very good, in the perfect location though!

This place has one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted! I was even more pleasantly surprised when the chefs were just casually making pasta from scratch at the back. I will definitely come back to try their pastas. Also the service was given by very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.Worth to try. Will be back.

Awesome ambience and hospitality.the guy actually helped us select the order from the menu. Sourdough was delicious.the sweet sour mocktails were yum. Cannelloni with pumpkin and ricotta was delicious; mushroom portabella pizza was average.
