Pizzeria Da Francesca

Great location by the Octogan.
Friendly staff & great food!

Always a good reliable place for a decent pizza. The polenta chips are yummy and staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice easy place to have a meal. Simple and tasty. The polenta fries were amazing!

We had a lovely time at this restaurant! The restaurant itself is in an excellent location and we were greeted by a lovely waiter who was polite and very helpful! Great food, and you can see the pizzas made right in front of you! All four of us enjoyed our meals and would most definitely return here.

We had a great experience here. The pizzas are very yummy and our kids especially loved the nutella pizza. The staff were welcoming and attentive. A lovely little place to eat

Good food. The polenta chips were great. Nice fast service and helpful friendly staff.

Beautiful margueita pizza...polenta Chips were great..service excellent...definitely recommend..

Great place with great food!! Tiramisu was to die for!! Thanks guys

Cozy comfortable restaurant. Not many big tables so best to book if going as a big group.

Delicious food. Highly recommend the garlic bread (pizza type base) & Nutella & strawberry pizza.

Gourmet pizza at an affordable price. Can't wait to go back.

Great service and food and nice vibe. Polenta fries a definite fave!

The food was delicious! The most simple delicious ingredients. The waiter was fantastic, even though he was busy with the other tables he was so on the ball with checking on us. We loved the fact we could sit and watch our food being made and cooked! Such a great experience overall. We will be back :D

Really enjoyed the food and will be coming back :)

Great food and friendly service!

The waiter who served us was so lovely and enthusiastic! The Italian juices are delicious and the pizzas were amazing! Highly recommend the Pepperoni pizza, the sliced potatoes on top added an element of surprise but the texture and taste compliments the rest of the pizza so well. The pizza sauces were also very unique and great. The only thing we would’ve liked to be different was to have the prosciutto raw and not cooked. But overall and awesome experience and great ambience!!

Yum and the staff were very attentive

Great location and delicious food!!

Initially a bit surprised with the narrow corridor dining space and small table for 6 we were so thrilled with the qualtiy, timeliness and friendliness of the maitre d' that we had a truly memorable time. The food was outstanding and quick to arrive. The atmosphere is cosy and clean. It was neat being able to see the food prpeared too. We can't wait to come back. Really, really great food.

The restaurant is small but cozy. Very professional equipments. We ordered the Italian peach juice, which is not a common drink found in most restaurants. Thin crust pizza with Plenty of cheese and topping. Like the vegetarian pizza the best personally. Looking forward to go there again.

The staff were beyond lovely, and made our time really enjoyable.
The food was amazing, and they were so welcoming to our vegan dietary needs - didn't charge anything extra for the wonderful vegan cheese!

We had a lovely date with friendly staff and really good pizza and sides

Yip - everyone is right - the polenta fries are a must!!! However, we got one each and they were filling before the pizza - he did warn us which was kind but we knew better.. Really friendly staff and just a all-round super evening thanks team :) x

A simple nice dinner.

Fantastic place! Good service and food!

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!
