Cuisine: Pizza
Price Point: Mains from $15 - $30
One of Christchurch's oldest restaurants is back in the CBD at the beautifully restored, historic Ironside house on Salisbury Street. The new location has convenient parking accessed via Montreal Street.
The legendary Spag's pizzeria has been thrilling locals with expertly made pizzas since 1978. Dough is made fresh daily, following a recipe that's been refined over the decades. The dough is then rolled to order and topped with Spag's special home-made tomato sauce.
Choose from classics like Hawaiian, Meat Lovers and Canterbury Roast Lamb or opt for tasty toppings like roasted vegetables, chicken or seafood. There's a wide selection of salads and pastas on the main menu if you don't feel like pizza. Starters include hot kumara chips, chicken tenders and freshly baked garlic bread.
The restaurant has a warm and cosy atmosphere with three dining rooms, a separate bar and an outside deck area. Ideal for families, friends and, well, just about anybody who loves pizzas.

Fab night at spags in the city prompt service and reasonable wait times, super friendly and efficient staff. Tiramisu not authentic but still yum

Excellent staff that were only too happy to help. The meal was lovely and more than enough. We were seated in an small area with alot of other diners, which was fine, but got abit claustrophobic. But all in all it was a great evening and I would recommend dining there to anyone. Thanks to the Staff.

Wendy Andrews - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 28 October 2019
Loved the food although limited kids menu only offering crumbed chicken pieces and chips although I know it is a pizza restaurant and only problematic if your children don't feel like pizza which happened to be the case. The food came out in a timely manner there was certainly a good selection of pizzas to choose from and the ones we chose were delicious.

Jody Hadlee-Watts - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 8 October 2019
Food was average at best. If we hadn’t if had a voucher we would have asked to speak to the manager. Service wasn’t great although we didn’t want to be pestered we weren’t even checked on once to see how the food was or to be offered more drinks. We won’t be going back

Sue Feary - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 23 September 2019
Food was amazing, as always. Quality of food is really high across all Spag's restaurants, and this one was no exception. Service was efficient and very speedy. Food & drinks came quickly.They have a lovely garden outside to sit in, we sat inside and that was nice too. Was a little noisy as we were sat near a table of people with loud voices, but the lovely pizzas we ordered made up for it. Fantastic and will be returning again soon. Spagalimis is a Christchurch institution for a reason!!!
Jenni Hague - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 12 September 2019
Pizzas were great but we were gutted the sauce for the spags fries has changed.Its not very nice now! The prices have gone up heaps. We were also shocked to find they have a two for one medium pizza so a waste of time going thru firsttable as we would of paid the same price as anyone who just walked in off the street.
Richard Frost - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 10 September 2019
The food was decent. I'm not sure I'd go there without the first table voucher, but it was good enough.
pros: they were relaxed and friendly and did not chase us out even though we sat in their space for hours chatting (it was a quiet night, but still). good atmosphere and the space is divided into sections such that even when it's full it would feel less crowded.
cons: none really... food was acceptable, I may have expected a little better for their full price and compared to what they were 8 ears ago, but it's a chain now after all and the discount made it plenty good enough for value.

Food and service were great. I had an amazing pizza (broccoli and blue cheese is to die for) and my partner also enjoyed his. I would highly recommend Spags for vegetarians as the vege pizza list is extensive and always yum. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. Our waitress was lovely too. I would love to see some more vegetarian pasta dishes on the menu.

We have 2 new converts to the wonders of Spag’s Chips, “Mum why are you ordering regular chips, can’t we have kumera chips?” Yes, we can have both. Where are the chips and sweet & sour sauce kids? “It was too yum”. And the Roast lamb pizza is still delicious.
I’m currently enjoying one of life’s best things- leftover pizza for breakfast

Great vibe and lovely staff. The small pizzas were the perfect amount and I loved all the fun topping options. Bruchetta felt a little pricey for that amount of food but it was still really tasty. I would go back!

Our kids were very excited to receive an activity pack when we arrived! We were too as it kept them busy while my husband and I had a chat and drink! Our pizza was delicious and the spags chips with special sauce was yummy! The kids spag bol was generous and the Hawaiian pizza was all gobbled up! Great service too, thanks

Our food was great. The service was excellent. We decided to sit outside and one of the waitresses turned the heaters on for us and then they also brought us all a blanket each, which was really nice of them to do.
Debbi Kereopa - dined at Spagalimis Pizzeria CBD on 24 April 2019
