The Pizza Library Papamoa

What happens when a charismatic husband and wife team decide to combine their two greatest loves, literature and Italian food? An intimate restaurant filled with vintage books and a menu with every dish named after a classic read.

This isn’t a case of novelty over quality, however. Their secret tomato sauce recipe is a delight while thin, crispy crusts will transport you straight to Italy.

We recommend the Oliver Twist, a spicy blend of jalapenos, olives and pepperoni, or the Popeye (which is liberally sprinkled with spinach, obviously!) for veggie lovers. Most of the toppings are sourced from local suppliers and you can taste the quality in every bite.

With funky decor and a pumping sound track and you’ll see why The Pizza Library is always buzzing with people looking for good times and even better food.
