Pizzeria Da Francesca

Lovely food & great service. Friendly staff and very helpful with one of our diners who is dairy free. No cider tho, no problem but due to the virus they took all steps to make sure our evening was enjoyable. Thank you Pizzeria Da Fancesca - Most enjoyable

Great value for money! Thanks for the awesome time :)

Great staff, great food, lovely evening. Thank you!

Good pizza and great service. Fast and efficient.

Enjoyed the atmosphere ... Friendly service

What a lovely meal we had starting with entree and ending with desert. We loved everything about Francesca’s .... the food was amazing and the service was relaxed and friendly...Francesca’s is somewhere we will definitely return to....and certainly will recommend when we can. Thank you Francesca’s we’ll be back

Had a wonderful dinner experience! Pizza was flavourful and not too heavy. Drinks were refreshing. Will definitely be coming back!

We were welcomed with a smile. The service was great. The food was amazing. Our requests for olives on our pizza and no rocket or chilli on the child’s pizza weren’t an issue. The house red was yummy and really complimented the pizza. We will come back and will recommend to friends.

A very limited menu, but food was enjoyable. Waiter was very friendly and helpful.

Great authentic pizza, we loved the side dishes and enjoyed the true Italian experience. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Had a lovely time with family, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Bottom of pizzas were a touch more burnt than usual

Delicious pizza cooked to perfection. Lovely staff also. Highly recommend

We had a terrific time! Very, very friendly service and the food was amazing! Thank you guys for your hospitality! Will definitely be back to try out other things :-)

We arrived to Pizzeria del Francesca to some confusion as another party was at our table. This is a small restaurant so the staff worked hard to arrange seating for 4 of us. All very professional and efficient. Our orders were delivered promptly and everything was delicious. We had appetizers and four different pizzas. The crusts were thin and delicate and the toppings perfect! We received excellent service by all, even the chef came over to ask how we were enjoying the food. It was a very pleasant and fun meal!!! We will be back

Such a delight from the first friendly greeting to the final hurrah. Lovely to have pizza that is based on simplicity and flavour, and the potato skins, yum!

They know how to make proper Italian Pizzas, coupled with a fantastic service.

Will definitely go back!

We were warmly welcomed by the waiter and received a delicious pizza and salad meal. We treated ourselves to a tiramisu afterwards which was stunning. Both waiters were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

My family and I had a great time, food came out reasonably fast and staff were friendly and efficient. I'd like to make a special mention of Andrew who took very good care of us and made sure we were happy. Thanks Andrew!

Very impressed. From walking in the door and in leaving and everything in between. Could not fault it. Atmosphere. Service. Pricing. Food. Warmth on a cool evening outside. Only fault would be that we were so full and satisfied with 2 courses that we could not fit in the lovely looking desserts. Completely our own fault.

Excellent food and service!

The food was great! The service too! The pizzas made here are just perfect - thin crust and just enough toppings to compliment the base. The potato skins are also great. The atmosphere is also wonderful.

Great food quick service and lovely place sure to return again and again

My eleven year old pasta loving daughter and I enjoyed a really nice dinner here on Thursday evening. Was quiet, nice service and great food.

It was our first First Table experience and we decided to use it on Pizzeria da Francesca. So happy we did! We’re new in the area and everyone said they had the best pizza and true enough, we weren’t disappointed. Handmade pizza dough and just enough toppings. Also, polenta fries is a must! Good service and ambiance completed a lovely Sunday evening.

Delicious pizzas in a warm setting with efficient and friendly service. Thanks!

A comfy, ambient atmosphere with food that will satisfy anyone. I especially enjoyed their special potato sticks as the flavor and texture was absolutely delicious.

A few girlfriends and I booked a table for a pre-concert dinner and were warmly welcomed by the congenial staff. The atmosphere was intimate but relaxed, with soft background music so we could chat without having to strain to carry on a conversation. We ordered potato skins, bruschetta and polenta fries for entrees, followed up by marguerita and parma pizzas. The entrees arrived quickly and were delicious (the bruschetta option had changed from the menu but this was explained at the time of ordering, and had a nice spicy kick to it). The pizzas were beautifully wood-fired and rustic with fresh ingredients. We also managed to squeeze in a few nutella pizzas for dessert - it sounds like a lot of food but the portion sizes are perfect which makes it easy to eat 3 courses without feeling over-full. The staff are attentive and helpful when deciding what menu options to choose, and we liked how they stay within earshot if needed but are not intrusive or constantly 'checking in' during mid-bite of food. The First Table seating time of 5.30pm is perfect if you want to catch a 7.30pm show; if we had booked an earlier table then we might have been waiting around for a while before the doors opened. We'll be back - it's a great night out for couples or small groups.

Food was simple and tasty, well presented and good value for money. The staff were interesting and interested in providing a great service, friendly and genuinely nice people.

It was fine.

Great all round and awesome music!

Great pizzaria. Nice, warm ambiance. Delicious pizzas that are cooked in a proper pizza oven. My friends and I throughly enjoyed ourselves.

From the moment we walked in we were looked after by the staff, the service was amazing. Food was incredible, overall it was a great evening out and would highly recommend to anyone. They have options for everyone, GF, vego and vegan.

Great food, great selection

Good service and food

Great service and delicious food! Authentic Italian pizza

Delicious food, up there with some of the best Pizza in Dunedin. Great beer on tap, and good cocktails on the menu too. Highly recommended the polenta chips. The dough was perhaps a little bit too crunchy for my liking, but still very delicious and highly recommended

Excellent service & delicious food. We will be back! Thanks

We ordered three pizzas - Margherita, Salami and Zucca as well as the polenta fries and potato skins. The Margherita and salami pizzas were great, but the Zucca pizza was lacking flavour. Polenta fries are incredible, and the potato skins were great too. We would come here again, and probably order the same thing but without the Zucca pizza.

One of the best pizzas I ever had in New Zealand. You should try it. I am sure you will love it!

Both the food and service was excellent and there was a good range of vegetarian options. Ordered the potato skins and garlic flat bread to start, both came out promptly. The potato skins were amazing however the garlic flat bread lacked some salt. For pizzas we ordered the Pepperoni and Tartufo, both pizzas had a nice thin base and good flavours. Also they were very generous with their toppings. For dessert we ordered the Nutella pizza with strawberries and tiramisu. The Nutella pizza tasted nice however they could’ve added a bit more strawberries. The tiramisu was good, a little on the sweet side. Overall the staff were very friendly and had a very pleasant experience dining here.

great food. good service

Lovely wait staff. Great atmosphere, awesome seeing your pizza made right in front of you. Potato skins were scrumptious, recommend!

Awesome quality food and really friendly staff. Easily my favourite Pizzeria I've been to in NZ. Highly recommend!

Brilliant food, and lovely atmosphere!

Pizzas like in Italy ! :) We would definitely come back

We had a lovely meal in an awesome place, complete with an espresso martini for a cocktail. Very nice indeed :)

If you haven't been I recommend that you try it out. Service great as was the food. We will be back.

Fantastic dining experience at Francesca, I am impressed by the variety of options available for Vegetarians - was very pleased with my pizza options. Staff were very friendly :)

Lovely prompt service, great food, can’t complain! Would happily dine again

What a lovely dining experience.....the atmosphere is cosy and intimate and the service faultless. The potato skins with truffle aioli are devine and the bite size brushetta a great way to begin a meal. Add in the authentic thin crust pizza with a selection of simple toppings (the salami was a winner!) and you know you've found a great little restaurant! We finished our meal with the Tiramisu and a delicious cannoli......would happily reccommend and will definitely be dining there again. Thanks team - love your work!
