Absolutely love the pizza here. One of the yummiest. And the owner is really nice. Always enjoy Nikos
First time at Nikos was 2009 for a Pizza. Was excellent then and still excellent now May 2020. I'm regular customer from out of town. Highly recommended
I absolutely love Nikos pizza - you walk in and immediately feel the authenticity. The pizzas are amazing and I highly recommend the greek wine.
Passed by the place on the way home and decided to give a try. It turned out to be a wonderful experience for my first greek food experience in New Zealand! The owner was super friendly and volunteered to take pictures for me. Even treated me with greek traditional liquor! Not to mention the food was really yummy and healthy :) Recommend for a weekend afternoon delight on your own or a group of friends❤
One of the best carbonara I've had in a long time. It is a bit pricey but pretty decent size so it's worth it. It's a small place so not ideal for big crowds max 4 will be a really cramped table.
If you love chicken and mushroom fettuccine then Niko can make the best one, he’s super friendly. It’s also a BYO Restuarant. It’s a small cute restaurant.
Popped to Niko’s pizza after watching a movie and was told this was a great spot to grab pizza. The restaurant is quite small and tight on space however the decor is lovely and there is outside seating as well and they do offer takeaway which is awesome.
Staff were friendly and our order was prepared very quickly, in a matter of ten minutes or so. Pizza has a lovely thin base which how I like my pizzas personally (more room for toppings!!)
We picked the Quattro Stagioni which consisted of mushrooms, shrimp, ham and salami. The pizza was delicious, has so many toppings, so much cheese, the base was crispy and the whole thing tasted so fresh and juicy. Very excited to come back and try more items from the menu!
Niko’s is quite a small little restaurant but utilises it’s space well - their pastas are filling and always very tasty! The fettuccine al pollo is creamy with the perfect amount of mushrooms and chicken, and the garlic bread is delicious and compliments all the pastas very nicely. Usually pop in for a lovely warm Friday night meal ✨
holy cow! this is such a cute little place the owner is so friendly and the food is amazing. I highly recommended this place. you can definitely tell that it's authentic Italian!
The pizza was SO good but SO overpriced! When you walk in you can tell it’s authentic Italian and you can taste the love and freshness in the food
Great place to get your comfort food fix! Incredibly old fashioned priced menu in comparison to other newer food chains, however the food appears freshly made and tastes really great, authentic and homemade. Ordered a standard pizza with two pasta dishes which costed approx $50. Staff appeared eager to please when visiting, and food portions seemed slightly larger than normal, so one pasta dish and one small pizza could easily be shared between two besties. A great little diner if your taste buds are not bothered by the price of their meals. Foodies, do try the pasta dish as it's a real winner and can be ordered as a takeout :)
Good quality food, good service and friendly staff.
Small eating area, suggest they do a lot of Takeaway. BYO as well as a range of beer and wine.
Been coming to Niko for my itallian cravings my whole life. It's my local gem.
Friendly, upbeat staff and food to boast about.
Honest hospitality. Real food.
Very cute small restaurant tucked in next to the Takapuna bar. Niko is lots of fun and very cheeky! Favourite is the Niko's Pizza, and love the stuffed capsicum. We come here quite often - particularly as they're open late - so we know we can get a nice meal if we've left it too late.
This place is just awesome, went here late at night, and Niko my friend, you are a perfect host. The food was outstanding, authentic, and cooked to perfection and the advise this guy has to give about life...Hahaha we really enjoyed ourselves. Sorry to put up a review so late but its one truly scrumptious fair.
Absolutely delicious pizzas made here!! Different from your normal ordinary pizzas and taste ten times better. They're not heavy pizzas like usual which means you can eat more of the them!
Expensive pricing for the portion size. Great service and authentic Greek. Food is very tasty! Great buzz about the place and in a good location.
Cute little place, sat out on the pavement, just like you do in Europe.
We had dolmades and Greek Special pizza. Really yummy and very authentic dolmades.
The only slight downer was that they tried to serve ouzo in a shot glass. For any not in the know (and we had spent 2 weeks in Greece only a year ago), the standard way to serve it is in a tall glass with extra water and ice cubes.
You then mix to your taste with water - it's certainly not something to be shotted and not at dinner!
Not sure if the waitress poured it herself and didn't know what she was doing?
Anyways, would certainly come back for the food!

been here a few times and always satisfied. great tasting pizza with abundant toppings and crispy-thin crust. tried their spicy chicken, salmon and greek special, they were all superb! the best pizza in town by far!
Want amazing pasta for dinner but don't want to cook?
These guys are the answer!
We often pick this as our takeaway option.
Lasange is on the small side but the vege option of it is so good!
Can't comment on pizzas because we are way to happy getting pasta to change.
What a find and a well kept secret. Just happened upon Niko's as we were walking past to go to another eatery.
Great host, good food, fun atmosphere and we can't wait to go back. There were six of us, all ordered different dishes and couldn't fault any of them....shhh! Don't tell too many people, we might not get a table next time.
Reading all the reviews about Pizza makes me really want to try them. Can only say I have had the pasta but boy was it delicious! The best I have tasted in a long time. The sauce just took me authentic restaurants like these in Europe.
To me, this place has the most amazing Pizzas I have ever had. That seems quite a call to make. But, I stand by that. Perhaps once, years ago, I had better/rivaled pizza. If that is the case, I can not remember.
The crust is baked to a perfect crisp. The cheese to pizza ratio is spot on. The only way a pizza should be. I (we) had the Margarita pizza. WOW. Is this only word. This piece of baked dough with toppings; this sends you to another world. A world where you are skipping in Fields of daisies, where the sun shines pleasantly on your cheek, where you dance with the goats. Or somewhere like that.
My work colleagues and myself often dream of this pizza. We just wished they would deliver further afield than Takapuna and were open 24 hours. I know this is unrealistic. Dreams are free.
So thank you to the Niko's team for existing!! You are amazing.
Kind Regards,
Kate
What a little gem, truly authentic food. The spaghetti bolognaise was by far the best I've ever had! And given the quality of the food & the location in Takapuna, $20 is so reasonable. Going there again this week to try the spaghetti marinara, hope it's just as good!
The best pizza I've had in years - the crust is just right. I'm so sick of mediocre chain store pizza, and Niko's pizza reminded me why I like pizza in the first place.
Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere (we dined in), authentic Greek coffee.
Great, great, great pizza!! Love this place so much. Consistently delicious, which is refreshing. I always get takeaway. Not really designed for dining in, as it is very small - only about five tables or something. But when I do see people dining there, it usually looks pretty cute. Candles and closeness - could be fun?
A regular customer. The sphagetti marinara is to die for- huge flavours and decent portion size. Likewise with the greek special pizza too. Consistently good.
I've only tried the pasta menu here, but they have been absolutely delicious. I shall try the pizzas next time.
excellent Greek/Italian pizza & other continental delicacies...!!!! Mmmmm Mama mia..!!!
Excellent pizzas! A bit pricey but totally worth it. The ingredients sourced tasted super fresh. Kudoz Niko!
Excellent pizza - great choices, and they taste even better than they look :D
OMG!!! The best little Greek spot in Takapuna, the owner, Niko makes the best Souvlaki and being half Greek I think I appreciated it 10xtimes more😍 will make sure we go back at least once a month. He he..
My husband and I dined here on Sunday Afternoon and it was epic! The music was ambient and authentic. The food was so delicious! The greek salad was so flavoursome and generous, the lasagne and pizza perfection! The customer service was on point. We don't live local but we will be back real soon and highly recommend this place for dine in or takeaway!
Fantastic. This little gold mine is easy to miss as it's doors are quite small - however Niko's Pizza had me munching on one of the best pizzas I've had in New Zealand. The restaurant feel is great and is never too crowded, and always has an inviting personality to greet you. The pizza feels authentic and the quality and care is immeasurable. Even with prices over 15 dollars for a basic pizza, I'm not surprised and it is well with it.

Passed by this place on the way home and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a wonderful experience for my first time greek food experience in New Zealand! The owner was super friendly and volunteered to take pictures for me. Even treated me with greek traditional liquor and a souvenir from Greece. Not to mention the food was really yummy and healthy :) Recommend for a weekend afternoon delight on your own or a group of friends❤
Best food in Auckland! Heck, dare I say it.. best food in NEW ZEALAND!!! I’ve eaten many times at Nikos and every time it’s amazing! The food totally gives you that comfy home-food feel, but when you taste it, it just takes it to another level! The first time I brought my partner here he said “we have to come back again this week!” And we did!! Furthermore the chef has a huge passion for food - that’s probably why it tastes so good!
Not very cheap (large one is around $30) but pretty authentic pizza made on proper thin dough. Has some in and out door seating, though many people just takeaway. If you consider pizza to be a fast junk food - this place is not for you. Some parking could be available on street on the large Takapuna parking nearby, but you are likely to pay if it's not a Sunday
It was like I would expect a small Greek restaurant to be. Four of us dined and in all cases the food was exceptional - from nibbles to mains. The mains were so large we could not do desert. Prices were a little higher than the neighbours but the food was miles better. Niko is a personality in himself. We'll be back.
Pizza was amazing and their tzatziki is to die for ❤️ definitely coming back!
Nikos pizza is the premium pizza restaurant in Auckland. If you are looking for a great night out, excellent pizza and a great atmosphere, look no further! You get what you pay for. If you don't want to pay for quality food, don't come here.
Niko is the most friendliest guy I know. Food is great, price is reasonable. Been going here for years and the food is always delicious. Not sure what the people with the 1 star reviews are on about...
Fantastic! Had 2x Greek Gyros, they are delicious!... I loved the bread they make the gyro with and apparently they are imported all they way from Greece. Will come back again for sure :)
