If I were taking you out for dinner in Auckland, we’d eat at Non Solo Pizza. Tucked away in Parnell, this restaurant used to be owned by the same people who owned Poderi Crisis on Waiheke Island. If you’ve been there, you’ll know the food and service are exceptional!

Non Solo Pizza is no different. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and while I don’t think it’s the best Italian in Auckland, it’s up there.

They serve authentic, no-fuss Italian food, and the waiters are genuinely interested in making sure you have the best experience possible. While you’re here, I recommend the wood-fired pizzas (obviously), charcuterie (again, obviously), and the pumpkin tortellini if it’s on the menu!

You can sit inside their dining room or, if the weather is good, outside in their garden. I'd take the second option all day long!
