Mamma Rosa

Ohhh Mamma Rosa thou art looking mighty fine! Specialising in crispy Napolitana pizzas, this quaint little eatery is one for the pizza addicts in Rotorua.

A blessed ray of sunshine to lighten up any day, this restaurant is painted a cheerful yellow colour. Adorning these sunny walls is a mix of quirky memorabilia that look over bistro-style furnishings, an exposed kitchen and the star of the show, the pizza oven that reaches a whopping 450 degrees!

But before we address the fruits of this furnace, tuck into bruschetta the Italian way or some freshly baked garlic focaccia. Alternatively, get salty with some marinated olives or feta cheese; perfect with a glass of red.

Now for the reason we're all here! With more vegetarian options than meat and fish, this is where everyone is guaranteed an unforgettable slice. Salami, diced lamb, shrimps, anchovies and more veggies than you even knew existed are just some of the toppings that crown their moreish, crispy-thin bases. And if you simply haven't had your fill of these circular beauties, how about a Nutella pizza for dessert? Extravagant? Us? NEVER!
