Pizzeria Da Francesca

Fresh, fast, fabulous food. And OMG those polenta chips!

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is wonderful and getting to see the pizza oven in action really makes you feel like you're in a true Italian restaurant. If you're a lover of pizza, make sure you check out Pizzeria Da Francesca!

10/10 would dine again

It was great!

Nice atmosphere, lovely tasty food. The waiter was helpful when we told him we were lactose intolerant - advising that they could use dairy free cheese that I didn’t see listed on the menu. The pizza was delicious and just the right amount of food.

Also discovered they do little pizzas so I may pop in for lunch one day too.

Great pizza and salad, and an extensive wine list. We really enjoyed our meal. The tables are quite small but staff were very accommodating in putting two together so that our party of four could all sit at the same table. Will definitely return.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. All staff were lovely and the food and drinks were perfect. I loved everything. I was pleasantly surprised with how great the polenta chips were. This is a must try.

We arrived early for a drink and were greeted by a warm, cosy atmosphere and inviting staff. We sat by the fire in the front alcove and shared pizzas and polenta fries and were delighted by how delicious everything was! Great way to celebrate a family birthday. The food was delicious and well priced and we had leftover to take home. Will definitely be back :)

Great pizzas. Great atmosphere.

Delicious pizza in a cozy atmosphere and great service

Great dinner, nice atmosphere. Delicious polenta chips!
Vegan cheese on pizza absolutely awesome!

Would definitely go again!

We were so impressed by our meal; really accommodating and friendly staff, very helpful. (Australian?) waiter was charming. Food was great too, good servings and price. Mushroom pizza in particular was delicious.Would recommend.

Nice atmosphere, great food and friendly staff.

Lovely meal and fantastic service. We also captured happy hour which was a bonus. Our pizza's were delicious and very authentic.

Very tasty pizza, very good service and very nice Chianti by the carafe

We really enjoyed the food, took the kids, they were brought out colouring gear which helped keep them occupied lol the service was really good, the young lady that looked after us was polite & constantly checked our, food, experience and time there was ok. Would defiantly go back xx

Really enjoyed dining here yesterday, the food was very tasty and the staff were friendly, we all really enjoyed it and the bill was so affordable doing first table. We were slightly disappointed that they were out of Large GF pizza bases but they made it up with there exceptional potato skins

Excellent food in a cosy, intimate setting. We very much enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning soon. :)

A warm, intimate and inviting atmosphere, with sublime polenta fries and fresh, delicious pizzas. The service was great and we had a lovely dining experience.

Dinner at Francesca's was just what we were looking for on a freezing Monday evening. We were warmly welcomed, seated next to the fire, and attended to promptly. The food, the service the ambience....all were excellent. Will definitely return.

Amazing pizza in a warm cosy atmosphere - we loved the fire on a cold Dunedin night. This is the best pizza in town and the cannoli is awesome. Highly recommend.

Both the the food and service were great !

Great little place, became very busy later on, so perfect for first table customers - we were served quickly and the food was fantastic.

wow so amazing. would totally pay full price for the delicious meal i experienced. was fresh out the oven and don't get me started on the antipasti. wow i could eat that prosciutto all day. delicious flat bread. even the water was good. 10/10

Excellent service and really cool surroundings and atmosphere. The menu is short and simple Our choices were delicious. Good wine list and cocktails sounded great Will have to try one next time!

Pizzeria Da Francesca is now one of my favourite places to go for pizza, would 100% go again. Actually, we are already planning on going again and bringing some friends along! The service is also great!

We experienced a relaxed, welcoming environment. Helpful and friendly service. The food was well presented and delicious. We all loved the starters, the artisan pizzas are simple flavours and tasty, well baked fresh from the pizza oven. Loved the special cocktail on offer - Moscow Mules. Also the Parsdise Pilsner on draft was fab!! We took our two teenage sons and all had a great time

The pizzas were tasty and 4 feed four adults with plenty left over to take away. Great service. I would definitely go back again.

Would not recommend the bruschetta. Was tasteless and bread was too thin. Potato skins or potato wedges we ok but didn’t go that well with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. Pizza was also just ok. Better than Pizza Hut or dominos but base was not overly fluffy even though it was cooked in a proper pizza oven. Tiramisu for dessert was the highlight.

We had a wonderful experience. As we have a 1 and 3 y.o. we arrived at 5.pm to find another young family there as well. The food was great as was the service. The mushroom pizza was my favourite. We will return! Thanks team

Pizza is so good! And had a great range of cocktails :D

Authentic delicious pizza!

We had a fantastic time dining in this cute restaurant! From the food to the service, everything was just perfect! will definitely be coming back !

Great pizza and potato skins. Nice intimate space

Enjoyed the ‘special’ pizza with 4 cheeses. Polenta fries also yum although order was initially forgotten so they arrived late.

Wonderful atmosphere, staff, service and food. It really was a lovely friendly relaxed evening of dining. Would definitely go back!

Great meal would go back again best pizza had in ages

Great food, especially the pizza! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Would recommend to all. Thanks for a great evening.

Friendly service and delicious food

What an awesome find - authentic, rustic pizza with thin and crispy bases. The toppings selection is simple and tasty and the menu offers a great selection of starters - I can definitely recommend the polenta fries with truffle aioli and the mini brushetta were also pretty darn good too. It was our first time trying cannoli and it did not disappoint - light and crispy with a subtle taste of cinnamon - it was a perfect end to our meal. Having 50% of our food bill made it very economical, but even at full price their menu is very reasonable. Thanks for a lovely evening out!

One of my favourite pizza restaurants in Dunedin. The green salad has a fabulous dressing, is fresh and crisp. Polenta chips to die for and the pizza is thin base and full of flavour.

We really enjoyed the night at Da Francesca!
The piza was very flavoursome with a nice crunchy base. The kale salad was crunchy with a nice fresh dressing.
Service was excellent. Quick and friendly.

Enjoyed our time at this restaurant. Polenta fries were awesome and would recommend, nice and crunchy. Looking forward to our next visit.

Had a great time, the food, the service and the atmosphere were all lovely. Thanks so much!

A cosy little space with a warm atmosphere .We enjoyed our pizza but the personal highlight was the kale, apple, walnut, sultana and parmesan salad.
