Running 9km on the treadmill each day enables me to eat a lot of food, especially pizza. I was really keen to try out Bona Pizzeria with my family and seeing it was on Zomato Gold, was an extra bonus. Even without Gold, the food was really affordable for Ponsonby! The service was great as the waitress had to pull a table for us to fit all of our food lol!
Between the four of us, we got the pizza garlic bread to share as an appetiser. The portion was relatively decent, as we got 3 pieces each. It could have been more garlicky but then again, I eat garlic daily so I probably need more garlic than a normal person. My brother got the spaghetti carbonara with bacon and my mum got the Fettuccine con Frutti di Mare as their personal main. We also got a large Bona Tutto pizza, combination pizza and salami papa pizza to share. I only had the salami papa pizza so I could only review that but it’s so delicious. The pizza was perfectly cheesy with a nice pull, the thin crust was chewy towards the middle but crunchy towards the crust and there was a perfect amount of fillings without it being too much. It was cut into 8 slices and I had 5 and a half slices, tell yourself it’s ok because it’s thin crust :)))
Honestly, despite a lot of Italian restaurants in the area, please try out Bona Pizzeria if you have the chance. You will not regret it.
Absolutely love this place. The beautiful waitress, Maya is always very friendly and welcoming, also very smart and onto it, providing the best customer service! Everytime i come, the food is so delicious that i dont think id go anywhere else for good Italian food. Always a joyful time spent here with my bestfriends!! Would 10/10 recommend 😍😍
Everything about this place is impeccable! This is my favourite place for pizza, the crust is always perfectly soft but crispy on the outside, and the toppings to crust ratio is en pointe! The pasta is always cooked al dente and the sauce is flavoursome and creamy. The service is just as amazing as the food! Maya (the head waitress I believe) is incredibly lovely and helpful, and always gets what you need before you even ask. The ambience is warm and cosy, but not at all crowded. Definitely my favourite place to eat out in Auckland! Would recommend to absolutely everyone. My personal favourite is the Bona’s Tutto Specials pizza, it’s so good it makes me forget any stress I have and takes me to a happy place 😍
