Enjoyed our experience here.
We loved the service and the food.
Cannot wait to be back again

Went a couple of weeks ago as a family. A busy Saturday night and also a child's birthday party on the table nearby. Drinks were ordered and brought over promptly and meals ordered. We had 3 children in our group and we had a small wait but not too long. Meals were nice and hot and the children enjoyed making their own pizzas. Nice location on the waterfront.
A really nice evening and really enjoyed by all, we will be back again! Thank you!
The food there was really good, had the Mexican pizza with chips. The ingredients on the pizza were really good and the chips were made perfect. The food was made really fast. I would highly recommend One Red Dog Restaurant and bar their food is really good.
I love the food here! The pizzas are the best and the pastas are delicious. The food is also great and you get good portion sizes. This restaurant never disappoints.

I used to watch a show Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. A recent visit to ORD reminded me of this although it was, Four Guys, a Girl and One Red Dog.
If you're looking for a family friendly place that will cater for lots of appetites, ORD is a good go to. In my case it was five excitable adults but you get my drift...
Everyone enjoyed their meals. The pizzas were a real hit and those that could share did so they could compare. They're not traditional like you'd get from Pizza Napoli - they're more pizza with a kiwi no. 8 wire spin. I always get the Shangri La on a GF base. Their bases are light and tasty, and the Shangri La is a vegan pizza that doesn't skimp on taste just because it doesn't have meat.
The wait staff are great. Helpful and patient. Especially as we were talking more than looking at the menu.
I wouldnt head here if you're looking for romance with a loved one. When it's busy, it's noisy with lots of large tables. If you (and more importantly your other half) are ok with that, then give it a go.
Kids friendly and a wonderful restaurant located by the waterfront. Great, vibrant atmosphere. Loved their pizza meals, the toppings are plentiful and delicious. Friendly and efficient staff. Enjoyed my meals and am sure I’ll be back again.
Nice pizzas, good selection. It was super busy so we could only sit outside but the food still came pretty promptly. I’d recommend the potato skins! Definitely a nice spot.
We love this place, and tonight was no different. It was New Years Eve, and we went for dinner. Service was friendly as per normal. We ordered the Texan pizza , and two chicken pastas. I also ordered a real vanilla thick shake, and explained I wanted it double thick. She understood. What arrived was a milkshake. I sent it back, and it the second time was much better. The pizza was very tasty, but they put jalapenos all over it instead of half. No complaints with the pasta. As much as we love this place the staff don't produce what the customer asks for, and thats probably because they are so busy. Still a great night though.
Been here 2-3 times and usually get the carbonara which is delicious! Saw someone else get potato skins which I'd love to try sometime. The peanut butter milkshake is so yum! Tried the antipasto entree platter with family once - also great except I had too much and couldn't finish my main. Tried the iced chocolate last time and it is pretty small.
I had the best 21st party here that I could have dreamed of and it was exactly what I wanted. The food was incredible, service very efficient, and all of my request were fulfilled. Communication between myself and the staff, including the general manager Mitch, was speedy. All of the guests very much enjoyed it and I highly recommend One Red Dog as a fantastic venue choice.
Great vibes, good atmosphere, really genuine lovely staff, and really great beef on that beef and bearnaise pizza! Could do with a bit of a salty addition to the sauce but the quality of that beef made up for it
Thanks!
Interesting place. It is not like I remember to visit. It means nothing special for me. Nothing much to remember. But when someone asked me to meet there. I go and enjoy food there. Nothing too special. Better than some place. Not bad. Beer is good.
Great location does help. If you don't know where to go and see this place, you should be okay to go there enjoy. It will not fail you. However, as I said nothing special not memorable. That is it.
Booked in for three people before the "Sole Mio" concert a week or so back. Judging by the number of walk ups while we dined, it was a brilliant idea. Service was friendly and we were warned that there might be delays for food due to how busy it was(a sunny Saturday evening next door to the concert venue - fair enough). As it happened, any issue was barely noticeable as the entrees soon arrived, garlic bread and cheese/bacon potato skins. The bread is an old favourite with plenty of butter and seasoning topped with shredded cheese. The skins appear to be a new fav, as they were rapidly hoovered up. Our Pizzas arrived about 20 minutes later, both looked good and proved to be very tasty. Due to peer pressure I was compelled to squeeze in the very last pieces, soooo good but it meant dessert wasn't going to be an option.
All in all a good night out. Would definitely pop back
Service was quick. Food is the type you know exactly what your getting. We booked a table for four and then unexpectedly had another two people join us. We had to wait a few extra minutes for the table to be set. Apart from this amazing would go again and recommend
Love the chicken and avocado pizza. Also the mussels entree was pretty yum especially for a pizza resturant. Staff are friendly and you can get a larger portion of wine in your glass for a little bit more $.
Pretty good spot for a quick and easy meal. Came here for work more recently and it was good to share a few pizzas and I also had the lamb salad which was pretty good. The wait staff were friendly and helpful with ingredient lists (allergies) and prompt with drinks and food. Would return and would bring kids too.
This place seems to have been around for ever but this was my first time dining there. We got there very early as we were going to an event. We ordered a range from the menu, pasta, pizza, potato skins and a salad. We also got a Pimm's pitcher to share, which was super tasty and great value. All the dishes we had were good, especially the creamy pesto pasta. The service slowed down a bit as the restaurant filled up but that wasn't an issue for us. The restaurant however is very noisy.
Food was nice (although it's difficult to screw up a pizza) and menu offered a good variety and a good price! The service could be improved a lot as we had to tell the staff that we were ready to order, and that we wanted to order a drink etc. atmosphere was good in a nice sunny location with big umbrellas and tables.
Had a very tasty pizza from here, was a good size and full of flavour. Was quite full at the end of the meal and also a great location by the waterfront. Service was very good as well, the meal was delivered promptly.
Great tasting pizzas and wine list was tops. Nice relaxing casual atmosphere and service was above average and the staff were happy to provide recommendations which is a great sign if they eat there too.
Went here with my partner two nights ago as it looked like a nice pub to have a quick dinner at. The pub itself is just a standard pub environment, nothing special.
The service is average, had to ask for a lot of things like another drink, dessert menus, more water. They weren't that busy which is why it surprised me that I had to keep asking me for things.
The food however was really good! We had a garlic load to start, only problem with this is it had cheese on it which wasn't stated on the menu. I really don't like cheesy garlic bread so I scrapped it off my pieces. For mains I had the cannelloni and my partner had the Shawshank Pizza. Both were very well made.
If you are after decent pub food I would recommend coming here as it was good food and came out at a reasonable speed.
So One Red Dog has been around for quite a while and after paying a visit there today, glad to say it's still going strong and doesn't disappoint. I went with our young kids and immediately upon being greeted and offered any table we like, a selection of crayons and colouring-in drawings was planted on the table.
The garlic bread starter was really tasty, fresh and steaming hot. Due to young and fussy eaters on hand, went with the standard margarita which was still delicious. Generous servings of included fresh basil leaves made for a really yummy and cheese-gooey (in a good way).
I used to frequent ORD in Ponsonby a lot, and happily had dinner @ their Wellington counterpart last wknd. It was busy, as always for a Saturday eve, but we were luckily enough to grab a spot outside under one of their heat lamps. The service was fast and food good. I've never really had any dining issues @ ORD. We got a fast Indian pizza to share, some chips and wine to start our night off.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I love Wellington on a sunny day! My sister and I were down at the waterfront and made a beeline for a table in the outdoor seated area. Thankfully we were sat under a heater and JD a lovely view of the water.
FOOD: typical pub fare. We shared The Fastest Indian pizza - lovely tandoori taste but could have been a bit more intense. Nice touch with the popadom on top. Also had chunky fries with a yummy aioli sauce.
SERVICE: they were pretty busy tonight but I was happy with how quick they were to serve us. The lady who processed our payment at the end was funny too!
No big wow factor, but a good place to come if you want a low fuss meal.
Had a late lunch with wife and baby. Pizza and fries. Pizzas were awesome and so was the service. I heard bad things about the place so came back to see if it was still good. And yes, lunch was still top notch. Will be back
Great pizzas!! Especially the beef and bernaise. The lamb salad is also fantastic, although at times they over cook the lamb a little - it's best medium rare.
I love the variety offered here. You could find something to please everyone. Busy place we had to wait for a seat, but not too long. I had the Blazing Saddles pizza, quite spicy and very tasty!
I adore their gluten free pizzas. Very filling, and the base is delicious! Really nice toppings. I go here quite a bit even though it's on the pricier side, the food is worth it.
I have been here 3 times in the last 2 years. When we arrived it took a very long time to get seated even though the place was almost empty. The staff was nice but slow, after ordering it took a crazy long time for our food to arrive. As we were ordering we found out (the waiter told us) that many of the meals were unavailable, they had no chicken. Luckily once we found a meal it was no let down at all. I ordered the seafood pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The deserts were all a bit boring but the pizza was great.
To conclusion, this is a children friendly restaurant with high quality food, but the service is slow and many of the items that are listed on the menu were unavailable.
You know when you just feel like a really Yummy Gourmet Pizza?
This is our Go-To place when we do for Dine in or Takeaway & it always taste delicious.
Our favourite is the "Chicken, Cranberry & Brie" topped with extra Cranberry on a thin base.
This time we ordered Takeaway & Fries to go with it too, my Daughter (Miss 14) classed them as the best she had tasted in ages.
What I also discovered it the 15 loading zone pick up for Takeaways directly outside, never noticed this before @ makes Takeaways even more easily accessible.
Friendly front counter staff, nice busy atmosphere inside for a Wednesday night with plenty of Professionals, Families & Friends dinning in.
Also love their Red & White checked uniform shirts! Cute.
Only improvement would be maybe a little more Chicken on the pizzas would be nice, as the odd slice has none.
We will definitely be back many times throughout the year.
Thanks One Red Dog

I went here with a couple of friends 2 nights ago, and was very impressed.
The FoH staff were great, friendly and welcoming, had us greeted and seated right away.
Despite having only 4-5 staff out front, and at least two BIG bookings on top of full house we got great service.
The maite d advised us that with the bookings there may be a delay in getting the pizzas, so brought us some fries to nibble while we waited - we hadn't got half way through them when the pizza arrived (probably 12-15min from ordering).
The pizza were really really good, perfect amount of toppings on a lovely base, great flavours and really filling (3 big blokes, and we all had the smaller size). My only regret is not ordering a small side salad to go with, there's an opportunity for them to upsell there!
Really good selection of cocktails, a few of which we sampled and were fantastic!
Sadly we didn't try the dessert menu, as we were so full from the mains. But I will definitely go back, maybe just for dessert and cocktails!
Have been here 5 times over the last 2 years. Love the food excellent. Service can be slow when busy seem to be short of waiting staff
Had a really lovely lunch this afternoon!! We were greeted really quickly with a huge smile and seated and told the specials. I feel like that never happens any more... food was quick and out pizza was delicious!! Best pizza I've had in years! Staff were lovely, music was great and the view beautiful. Will definitely be back!!

Just read Meghan A's review and I have to say, Be Real !
She sounded surprised that on arrival there were no tables - did she think the staff were lying when they said they couldn't take bookings on a Friday ? They weren't kidding - this place goes off !
Great Platter and an amazing Beef and Béarnaise Pizza for the 2 of us was more than enough on my first visit, and as Will said the Tuatara Jugs at $20 are a must ( The banana beer - yes banana !) .
Having just moved to Welly I was told about this place by a colleague and have to commend his suggestion... a sunny afternoon on the deck with a jug of Tuatara with some of their yummy ( Homemade ) Pizza bread and Humous is a must at least once when your in Welly - Had the new Moroccan Lamb yesterday and trust me this is divine - if there was one pizza on this list you HAVE to try, this is it ! Great ( and pretty good looking ) staff and service in my opinion, and I haven't eaten and not left a tip yet!
One Red Dog... I will have One Red Letter Day when my visa bill comes after this sabbatical !
I'm not normally one for writing reviews. But I recently had family down and we went to the one red dog for lunch. The service was outstanding, They looked after the children very well and helped us keeled them occupied. The unique pizza's they sell are amazing we couldn't which ones we wanted so they split the pizzas and we had 8different types on 4 pizzas.
It has a great outside area perfect for afternoon drinks !!!!!!
You will see me again One Red Dog !!!!!!
This was a great place for a 3 generation meal. Pizza, mussels, pasta and salad were eaten and all given good reports. Service was fast and the staff had a rapport with all the ages. It got a big plus from me because there was no need to squint at restroom sign to make sure the little figure had the mini skirt on--no there was a decent sized "Women's" sign on the door! Thank-you, we will be back.
It was a busy Friday night. We started with a couple of drinks in the bar area and that was good. Although lots of people there and not having booked we got our table and food quickly. Fabulous pizza and attentive service. The waitresses were pleasant and efficient. We'll go back.
Six of us dined here before a show at TSB. We had booked ahead, but there was a mixup and no table was available. It was rectified in quick order and we were all seated 10 minutes later. We ordered two starters for the table, pizzas for everyone, followed by deserts. I thought the pizzas were great (for a place that doesn't specialise in pizza). Service was reliable and friendly, even though the place was very busy.
A round of drinks, starters, mains and desert totalled ~$300.
A fun place for friends or colleagues to hangout on weekends and have some good drinks.
The ambience is good and a lot of cool breeze but near the beach. The seating outside is awesome.
The cheese platter and the non veg platters are good even though the portion is less.
We had a meal flat bread garlic
Vegan pasta...prawn linguine
It was ok we had better
Pavlova and brownie for after dinner

The food was awesome, we have noticed a change in menu with limited vegan options compared to before, also drinks mixed wrong but I personally loved my meal friendly staff.
Food delivered out of order, ie soup after main. Table staff loverly but need more training and there didn't appear to be enough of them for the number of patrons.
Had a great night dining here. Was looked after by Indiana who was really attentive and helpful and the food was amazing! Can't recommend enough
We went early at 6pm with kids and they have a kids menu. Great service and our food and drinks were great reccomend if you're looking for somewhere along the Welly water front.
I came a few years back and food wasn't that good.
UNTIL I came back Friday night and OMG! Food was soo DELICIOUS! we ordered from the set menu which was $35 and let me tell you, I was Hella full! Everything was so yummy from the flatbread to the pizzas, I had a food coma by the end of the night lol The staff were so helpful, kind and considerate and overall the best 😁 I highly recommend eating here, I LOVED it!!!
You have to try the Ricotta Gnocci...devine! Sat outside and it was an overall wonderful experience. Will def go again!
We ate at this venue as part of our social dinner for the Beyond Stuttering - McGuire Programme Event.
Great Pizza and starters. Amazing value for money for their set menu. We were all extremely well fed and had excellent service.
One Red Dog is a favorite spot for us, family friendly and the quality of the food and service is excellent. Photo is of the "Pluto" kids pizza (whats left of it anyways). Easy parking, on the water front, what more could you need? Lots of beers too!

Friday night in level 2 lockdown is not the best time to see this place in action as I'm told that it is normally heaving. Small groups still zapped in and out for drink and food but there were a lot of empty tables and it was too cold to be outside.
Service was prompt and attentive and we were seated quickly to keep the social distancing in line. They have a reasonable drinks menu but food is all about pizza with just a few pastas and snacks to fill it out.
The pizzas are good and very filling but pretty expensive at @$25 for a medium size. I would not recommend the gluten free base as it seemed to be made of cardboard and wallpaper paste. Seriously, you can get some really good gluten free pizza bases now, but at an extra $3 this was pretty bad.
Desserts were fabulous if you want that massive sugar rush and the Jaffa tower was impressive.
At $125 for 2, this was not the cheapest dinner but it has a nice atmosphere and it's close to the CBD. In summer this is an easy place to recommend. In winter during covid 19 it was a nice night out I was happy to have, but maybe not somewhere I would rush back to.
This was honestly the best pizza I've ever had. My wife tried the Hawaiian pizza and loved it. I tried the duck pizza...FABULOUS!!!
We also had their potato wedges, which were great too. The atmosphere was wonderful and we found the staff accommodating, friendly and efficient. Located on the wharf near all the great attractions. I highly recommend One Red Dog.
Booked a table for dinner before a concert as it was super close to the arena. Our waitress Utopia was absolutely awesome! Everything was delicious and came out really quickly despite the place being fully booked out and busy. Perfect start to our night!
Conveniently located near the wharf, but not on the front line. It's great to sit outside on a sunny day as the wind barely hits being blocked by all the buildings. The atmosphere is casual. The food is great and they have a decent menu from pasta, pizzas and other smaller items. They have friendly staff. The price is expensive but the quality and portion of the food is excellent as well so it equals out, although they are a tad slow at dishing food out so expect some wait at peak times. Ignoring these minor issues, I would definitely still recommend eatting here.
