Who would of thought a pizza place would serve one of the best steaks in town, oh and the pizzas beat any takeaway pizza!! Nice atmosphere to catch up with mates and have some beers.
Been here many times the best pizzas in New Zealand and I’m glad to be back in Upper Hutt so I can grab my self one would highly recommend going here the pizzas are always on point customer service is always brilliant and the atmosphere of the the place is just brilliant
We went here for dinner and I wasn’t expecting a lot from reading the reviews others have wrote about this place but I was pleasantly surprised when the food came out. It is most defiantly one of my favourite pizzas I have ever had. Great size for the price you pay and all the ingredients used tasted amazing. The only fault was it took awhile to come out once we ordered it but it is so yummy that it’s worth the wait!!
Went for a birthday dinner with family. Great pizzas, fresh ingredients & true to the wood fired tradition. The service was the very best & staff extremely friendly. The place itself is modern and great decor. Highly recommend for a wonderful evening !
Very tasty pizzas. Nice selection, and the customer service is great! However the team needs to focus on how to order for big groups. When we went it took a long time for our food to come out for everyone to eat at the same time.
Loved the pizza, I had the white pizza, delicious. These are traditional pizzas so they aren't like the sort you get at Pizza Hut etc, so if thats what you're used to you might find the toppings meagre. But hopefully you'll find them perfectly sized, perfectly seasoned and perfectly balanced- we did. The local flavour was also appreciated, beer from the Hutt, gin from the Wairarapa. In fact if they'd had candles on the tables and the fairy lights were on they have got 5 out of 5 from me. They even had a wood burner, ideally there would have been a huge log fire, but then I'd never have left….
Went with partner and toddler for lunch on Friday last week. Shared the white pizza - very nice. Don't expect a commercial pizza a la Dominos - this is more traditional with fewer but better quality ingredients. The kids pizza was good also and a really decent size. Love the kereru beer on tap. The outdoor area would be a great place to hang out at on a sunny afternoon. Friendly enough staff.
Just had an amazing meal here! Very fast service. Food simple and very tasty. Staff polite. Spoke to owner about family connections on menu etc. highly recommended!
Fantastic evening with grandparents and our two young children. The pizzas were delicious, fresh ingredients perfectly cooked. the staff were super helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend. We hadn't booked (though I'd recommend you do) and it wasn't a problem at all. Very nice decor, warm and inviting, not too loud and very clean. It's great to see the pizza oven and explain to the kids how its cooked in the big kiln.
Was great again highly recommend.
We stumbled on the wee gem via MenuMania as we wanted to take 10 teenagers for pizza as part of a birthday party, but didn't want to head into Wellington City.
The moment we walked in we felt welcomed. The food was delicious affordable and, the service was outstanding, the staff were friendly, professional and so helpful.
A place for couples, families and parties. You are hosted by a lovely team who are clearly passionate about what they do, and just want to make sure you have great food and a great time.
Chose Art of Pizza as our first night out after moving back to Upper Hutt. Wow. From booking through to leaving the service was great, the menu exactly what you'd expect from somewhere called The Art of Pizza PLUS excellent unexpected extras.
The staff were friendly and efficient, our starter arrived quickly and was a perfect size, and the pizzas we ordered both delicious and exactly as described.
Overall we were very impressed, and will be returning!
Lovely decor, very warm and inviting atmosphere, we Had a fantastic meal, Service was fantastic, loved the pizza especially the dessert pizza. Very affordable. Thank you Art of Pizza for a great night.
I think it's great that new restaurants like this are opening up in Upper Hutt. The decor was modern and pleasant, the service speedy and the pizza tasty. We will definitely be back.
I myself occasionally with others have dined in or taken out from the Art of Pizza, every single occasion has been fantastic, the food incredible (no more chain pizzas for us), service and atmosphere exceptional and most of all Chris and his crew are very welcoming and inviting! Well done, keep up the good work!
What a great find in Upper Hutt. Real pizza - you know real pizza does not have a tower of toppings aye kiwi`s!!
Base has a nice texture, such a good change from the doughy bases usually found. Really good flavour combo, and the service was attentative and friendly.
Well set out with nice clean feel to the place.
Prices are fine though those that usually go for a franchise pizza will no doubt think otherwise. Hey, its pizza! tale care of the big stuff first.
Great place for an afterwork gathering or a casual meal out.
Coffee was also very good and good to see micro beers available.
Will be back again for sure.

Really nice place and somewhere we highly recommend.
Half an hour before going our party became a 5 rather the 4 we booked.I called and they sorted a table for us with minimal fuss despite it being a busy Saturday evening.
Yes the wine list is light, but they seem to have the balance of choice good enough for most, and the local ales available are a nice touch.
The food was spot on. Lots of options and a make your own for even the fussiest of eaters. Great taste and great portions, most people took advantage of the takeaway your left overs option which they happily do, as the pizzas are very filling.
Service was lovely, they looked after us very well. Pleasant and very engaged, not badgering us to leave to ease the casual turn up clients at all.
The main course pizza took a little longer than we expected but the place was rammed and when we caught the staffs attention to ask for when it was coming it was less than 5 mins away.
If you're a couple out for a bite or a family with young kids I'd suggest you try this place, we will be returning very soon. Well done guys.
Was it worth $20 a pizza I thought so, you're not only paying for pizza but service and a nice clean establishment as well. Service was done with a smile and the owner was a top bloke
Table for 11 next time round!!

Went there tonight - this place has been open a week.
Our review: this is one of the better/best options in Upper Hutt for this sort of dining. Admittedly it lacked warmth, both in terms of decor (I assume they are still decorating the plain walls given the recent opening) and actual temperature, but it's nonetheless worth a visit.
My chicken & brie pizza was amazing (like carbonara sauce on dough, and somehow that worked!), flavourful and well cooked. Hubby's steak was beautifully cooked also, though for $29 the steak & salad could have used some pizzazz.
Staff were friendly and very good, though obviously new - our waitress told me she couldn't recommend a wine as she didn't drink it herself :) The wine menu was adequate but a bit limited - I'd love to see some varietals, though for $7.50 a glass I'm not likely to complain too much!. Everyone was very polite and the chef was chatty and said hello - very pleasant.
We will definitely be going back and I do suggest Upper Hutt-ites check it out.
Great artisan wood-fired pizza that doesn't break the bank. Good service and an impressive range of craft beer from a local brewery.
Wow, amazing! So many pizzas to choose from. Will definitely be back 😀
We're from Napier. My family ordered Vegetarian Pizza, x2 Steak meals and Pork Belly. Everything things was great tasting, and from what I saw only 3 staff on. Very satisfying food. Thank you 😊
My partner and I have dined in at Art of Food 3 times in the past 2 weeks and every experience was brilliant. The customer service is amazing, and the staff always make us feel welcome. The atmosphere is very homely and welcoming. The food is always on point, and the presentation is always exceptional. The wait time for the food takes around 20 or so minutes, but the food is definitely worth it and the wait isn't bad especially given the quality and freshness of the food. The drinks are also very refreshing and I highly recommend trying the salted caramel hot chocolate. This place is definitely a spot to visit if you don't know where to eat. My partner and I will definitely be returning here!
The Art of Food restaurant on Main St in Upper Hutt specialize in delicious wood-fired gourmet pizzas, which they serve in a gorgeous and artistically pleasing venue. They also serve desserts and their wood-fired oven Baked New York Cheesecake is to die for. Their service was very friendly and welcoming. My only regret was that I hadn't discovered this place before. I will be back for sure.
My partner and I came here for the first time tonight and we were so impressed. The pizzas were absolutely delicious and super filling, we ended up taking a few slices home each as we were so full. Service was lovely from the two ladies and I am pleased to say we will definitely be coming back, and will be telling our friends about this place for sure!
Stopped in for a late lunch on a sweltering summer day. I was impressed by the friendly service and generous portions. I chose the corn fritters and a chocolate milkshake (as the thickshake looked a bit too daunting). Happy with my choice and left full and satisfied.
Great food and super friendly staff. We had the garlic bread, Meatzza and Winemaker pizza and hazelnut dessert pizza. All were very yummy and good portions. Venue has some nice outdoor seating.
Only had tea and a lovely piece of chocolate brownie. The cake was really nice and tea strong and hot. Staff were very friendly and helpful
Such a good restaurant! Pizzas are amazing and the dessert pizzas are completely fabulous. Match them with the delightful selection of craft beers, wine or soft drinks and you'll have a dining experience worth pulling yourself from Netflix for. Staff are really great too.
Walked into this place with no plans before him and was surprised by a rather nice and low priced meal. The typical full breakfast was only $18 compared with 24 at most places in Wellington. Ordered an Americano which was a little bitter but the cafe took it back made a new one which was much better.
Been here a few times, both on my own and with groups. The food is consistent and tasty, the portions are generous and well-presented. The coffee is good too. Service is friendly and pretty quick, the general atmosphere is cosy but not crowded. It's a nice spot to go with friends and family for a meal and a catch-up.
Pizza was excellent! There was a little bit of a wait, but definitely worth it! We had the mushroom sauce based pizza, and the one with bearnaise sauce. Both were lovely.
Got the chicken brioche burger. Absolutely tasty, staff are great and ordering through DeliverEasy is handy for when I want food at home.
Very lovely evening. Pizzas the family all ste them & took what they couldn't eat hm. I had steak,chips & salad . The steak was a bit chewy. But I ate everything & enjoyed everything.
Much better than the last time I was here a couple of years back. Food was good. I had the pork belly that was well cooked and a generous portion. The pizza was also really good. Serving staff weren't overly clear or friendly though.
The CGT and Winemakers were both amazing pizzas. Also the dessert pizzas are well worth a try. We had the hazelnut one which was very tasty. Great venue, good vibe, great asset for Upper Hutt.
Plenty of good food on the menu. Pizzas also available. Great service and staff. Definitely will go back
