Best take out Pizza in Auckland. We have been eating here for years and it doesn't ever disappoint. Huge fan of the Margherita!
Come to epolitos every few weeks as it's a bit of a drive from where I live, Love it here. Allways great pizza each time!! Good chilled vibes! Best spot to grab a beer and pizza in Auckland!
Delicious! Fresh out of the oven pizza, if you like your base thin and crispy then this is the place for you. We got half n half pepperoni and the cabby. Personally, I like the pepperoni as it had a nice kick of spice!
A top pizza spot in Auckland. My favourite is an extra large cheese pizza - delicious tomato sauce on top of a base that’s always cooked well - a simple classic done perfectly.
Ah yummy pizzas. We ordered godfather and loved it. We especially enjoyed the meatballs and the next time we are here we might order the classic meatball pizza. Friendly staff. Lovely little place.
Yummy Pizza. My favourite is God Father - love the topping (meat lover) with jalopinos mmmm. They are supper popular so busy often. They do get busy around dinner time so sometimes it might take up to 30 min but worth waiting time for sure. Plenty of parking around makes easy pick it up.
My daughters and I shared a delicious margherita pizza here on a cold winter's night. The pizza was absolutely delicious - the base was perfection and the sauce was rich and wonderful. The room was warm and inviting and so were the staff. Highly recommended.

I have been a sporadic customer of Epolito's for almost 10 years. I would love to eat there more often, it's just they've never been in my neighborhood.
The only way to explain why you should come here is the extremely obvious one - it's the best pizza in the city and surely the entire country. A superb base and crust. Perfect tomato sauce. Delicious cheese. The toppings are all heartily perfect without being excessive. A half and half between Pepperoni and Home-made fennel sausage is my go to, but I'd eat this stuff from a dumpster with nothing but the tomato sauce left on top. Hell it's probably the best in Australasia and the Pacific. Service has always been notably friendly and inviting. If you get butthurt because your pizza doesn't arrive instantly - you're an idiot and don't deserve food this good. Making pizza the right way takes time.Â
I'm just here to boost the ridiculous 3.7 start rating and negate the idiotic reviews which sound like straight up baloney to me, given I've been eating this stuff on and off for almost 10 years.
Best pizza around. Yes it might take slightly longer than other pizza places but it’s worth the wait. We always order Godfather and are never disappointed!
These guys serve a good size classic New York style pizza. We ordered by phone and were advised a 30 minute wait plus they don't take credit cards. We arrived just before that and the service was friendly. We were advised again about no credit cards and told there was a short wait until they were ready. I was offered a drink during this time which was a smart service to offer.
Pizzas were ready on time as mentioned and very nice to eat.
Overall nice service, great pizzas, friendly staff but a little expensive yet OK at the frequency I'd eat them.
I have tried their pizza twice in the last month. First time was the lemon and artichoke with extra garlic, the second time was the three cheese with extra sausage and garlic.
The pizza's are huge and the crust is super nice. My favourite of the two was the artichoke and lemon - they actually use whole slices of lemon and it's such a nice flavour. The three cheese with the extra sausage and garlic was tasty too
The sausage is very flavoursome with a hint of spice, my only criticism I have is that I think this pizza would be 10 times better with a more punchier cheese. Not as punchy as gorgonzola or blue but maybe feta to give it that hint of salt. It's not bad as it is but pizza cheese and ricotta are both quite bland cheeses.
I will definitely order from here again and look forward to trying their other flavours!
Probably the best pizza in Ponsonby/Grey Lynn. We love the God Father pizza. Amazing. Worth a visit. Ideal for takeaways. Its now listed on Uber Eats.
Best pizza in town literally. Made fresh with lots of delicious flavours and herbs. The best is the Godfather pizza with a crispy crust. Â Other pizzas are great too
First time coming here and it was decision I did not regret. With a couple of friends we ordered the Sausage Pizza (NY Classics) and that cheese though, so stringy in texture and rich in flavour once the first bite is taken. It was that good and the sausages I loved the spiciness and juice from it too. Once you start chewing you can you can taste all the fusion of flavours.
The service here was fantastic, the cooking time for the pizza is what I was expecting. A bit long but that didn't really matter. As long as has the pizza, then the world would be fine :)
It's quite organized once you enter the place. The chairs and tables are neatly in place, although there are some tables that are quite close to each other. So for a big person like myself to go through that space where people are sitting may be a challenge. But in overall, such a great place for some great pizza.
I cannot believe this place is averaging only 3.7/5....it deserves 10/5!! Epilito's isn't only my favourite pizza in the world...it's my favourite food in the world!! Must have pizza = the Godfather. Amaaaaaazing!!
Always amazing!! The pies oh the pies!
Home recipes made with the magic and love of Chicky.
Best pizza (pies) in town! Always great! Casual fun atmosphere and great service!
Possibly the best pizzas I have ver experienced. I've been o Italy, New York etc, and these are right up there. The lemon and artichoke is amazing. These feel like they have been made with care - please keep it up!
This pizza is amazing. It's huge, fresh and full of flavour. The pizzas taste like they've been made with care rather than mass produced. A little oily but hey, it's a cheat meal right. Incredibly good.
Seriously the best pizza in town! If you are looking for an authentic NY style pizza epolito's is the place to go. The dough, the tomato sauce, the meat balls and the Italian sausages are made by the talented owner and chef.. And her bagels are just to die for!

Sal's pizza was my favourite pizza. After eating Epolito's, Sal's pizza now feels very "manufactured" for the masses (Pizza Hut came to mind though still much better than Pizza Hut). The topping side of Epolito's is soft and gooey while the bottom side is crisp while still remaining flexible. The crust of the dough was crisp on the outside while still moist enough on the inside. The cheese used on the pizza was so soft it feels like it melts in your mouth like cotton candy. Can't remember the exact taste of the cheese but I remember that I liked it. I ordered a half and half pizza. Half meatball and half sausage with mushroom and tomatoes on both sides. Both the meatballs and sausage tasted good The meatballs was salted enough with hints of onions and garlic. The sausage while good would not be something I woild order again as it had fennel inside which gives it a herbal- E liquorice taste ( I don't like that taste though I'm sure others might). My only complain was the pizza was a little spicy, it might be the sausage itself that was spicy or that there was pepper sprinkled on top.
Excellent pizzas! We went on a Thursday night. Great atmosphere, good music and the pizza is great! Prices are in accordance to the product. Definitely be back soon...
Never disappointed by the pizza. So delicious with great sauce, cheese and toppings. Lemon and artichoke with added salami is amazing. Wish they sold some dessert!
Went for dinner on a balmy summer evening, it wasn't busy there about 4 other tables occupied around 12 people.
Service was very slow and the pizza even slower. Some takeaway pizzas were being processed but not enough to warrant our wait of approx 50 -60 minutes! Our bums are on the seats so we should have been served first. A pizza doesn't take long to cook, so by 9.15 we are ravenous.
The pizza was tasty and quite good but at $43.00 for xlarge and slow service a very long wait for pizza, we weren't so happy.
The best pizza in Auckland so fresh and delicious ingredients fresh. Home made meatball pizza is so yummy heaps of cheese and crunchy crust.
This place is the best Pizza I have had in Auckland. I have no idea why the average rating is not high. Great staff, fantastic pizza. biggest gripe is that they are not open 7 days and do not deliver. The effort is worth it.
These guys have New York style pizza down to a tee. The pizza was served really quickly and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely be back!
Pizzas from Epolito's are outstanding. The lemon, artichoke and parmesan pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. Give this Grey Lynn Pizzeria a go. You won't be disappointed. Two very large pizzas are enough for five people.
You will not find a better pizza than Epolitos. Â Everything is handmade and delicious. Â It's a shame that they moved further away from where I live but it's worth the drive. Â Can't go wrong with the Godfather.
Authentic NY pizza. Huge slices that you can fold and the large pizzas are massive. Staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Aloha pizza is the best Hawaiian pizza I've had here!
Pizza that way it should be...Great base, light & crunchy to the bite. toppings delicious & succulent. Very popular place..highly recommended
If you're looking for a Hawaiian pizza or other such schlock don't come here. These are the authentic New York style pizzas.Â
Thin, firm bases with tasty flavour packed toppings.
A group of us went here for dinner. Tried the meatball/margherita/lemon & atrichoke and olive & feta pizzas.
They are all delicious.Â
The service is excellent with the waitress demonstrating some impressive memory skills remembering everyone's drink order correctly
Tip: the large size truelly are large, 4 were more than enough for 9 hungry people
We were fans of E's when they were based in Oranga/One Tree Hill and we think that what adds to the deliciousness of the pizza's is the fiery and radiant personality of it's owner. Great and tasty pizzas and E's will always hold a place in our hearts/stomachs.
We took our kids for a pre-rugby bite to eat at Epolitos and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The pizzas are fantastic, some of the best I've tasted and the staff were friendly and efficient. A great find and awesome to know they do take out too. We'll be back.
Really very friendly staff. Good selection of super cold beer.
Pizzas are New York style. Better than Sals.
Travels well home too. Very family friendly.
We have been on epolitos twice, both for pick ups. This is a very small place but they do a nice job. They make pizza on the same style than Sals but In my opinion they are a bit better.
It's taken about a year (and feels much longer!) For Epolito's to move from Onehunga to their new Richmond Road location, and it has been worth the wait. They still serve up the most delicious New York style pizzas with incredible flavour combinations, everything from the standard pepperoni to an underrated artichoke and lemon combination (East Side) on the most authentic base. Bonus: it's not unusual to walk past and see the cook twirling pizza dough through the air as they make the bases.
Still the best pizza in New Zealand, worth the drive and the cost.
Real nice people and pizzas. Authentic NY style pizza. Good beer selection. Would love some tap beers, but for now all cans and bottles. Also, could use shakers for red pepper flakes, parmesan, and Italian herbs. But really the pizza was 5 star. Perfectly cooked. Cracked crust when folded. đź‘Ťđź‘Ť
This was AMAZING pizza. So fresh, handmade dough, properly done. So incredible to find such authentic pizza here in Auckland. Just sad we discovered it on our last night here - we would have definitely had it twice!!
If I could give this place a higher rating I would! Most delicious pizza I’ve ever had. Staff are awesome, small friendly team that make sure you have the best NY pizzeria experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. I recommend these guys to anyone that will listen. Amazing through and through
I'd say, without any hesitation, this is the best pizza in all of New Zealand.
The service is friendly. The owner and employees are absolutely delightful.
This food costs more than Pizza Hut and Domino's. It's worth it. It blows Sal's out of the water easily.
How good is it? My best friend and I plan her trips up from Wellington around getting pizza from here so she can also bring back frozen slices to eat later, when she goes home.
Couldn’t resist getting the 18-inch despite the fact that there were only two of us ordering… YUM YUM YUM! 🍕✨ Deliciously crispy base with a lovely savoury flavour, a couple of charred patches with gorgeous crunch, and of course that cheesy perfection. Highly recommend for those craving a NY pizza fix!
One of the best pizzas in town. The Sicilian sausage pizza is delicious
Such a wonderful night out. We were celebrating a friends farewell and Gab and Tash really looked after us. The live music was absolutely incredible and wow, the pizzas were the best I’ve ever eaten. I’ll even go as far to say BEST PIZZA IN AUCKLAND CITY. Thanks guys! Such an absolute vibe. Would absolutely recommend !! Oh, and the side salad !!!!!! Oh my gosh, it’s a must.
Best pizza I’ve had in Auckland, excellent use of their ingredients and they create a well balanced pie to sort your night out! The service as well is incredible. I felt a little embarrassed when I ordered a pizza with no cheese but the staff here, especially the owners, were extremely accomodating to my friends dietary needs and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, with no judgement at all. A great selection of drinks as well, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in a bustling borough. I highly recommend their On Madison or Rocco pizzas, the perfect amount of salty and savoury! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for authentic NY-style pizza, the price is so worth it!!!
Best pizza in Auckland, hands down! As an american that lived in New York City and has managed a pizzeria, I can confirm this place is the real deal!
The owners are super nice and dedicated to this business, can’t recommend it enough!
Been in NZ for more than 20 years and was in the NY and Philly before that. Pizzas in AKL have mostly been disappointing until I randomly tried Epolito’s. The crust was perfect! The sausages bring back NYC memories! And the XL size was really XL! I’m even having leftovers for breakfast and I’m still very happy with it. Hope you stat true with proper pizza making!
