The best local pizza joint in the area. Try their lemon and artichoke pizza, it's great!
One Tuesday night per month they have live music

I'd say, without any hesitation, this is the best pizza in all of New Zealand.

The service is friendly. The owner and employees are absolutely delightful.

This food costs more than Pizza Hut and Domino's. It's worth it. It blows Sal's out of the water easily.

How good is it? My best friend and I plan her trips up from Wellington around getting pizza from here so she can also bring back frozen slices to eat later, when she goes home.

Real nice people and pizzas. Authentic NY style pizza. Good beer selection. Would love some tap beers, but for now all cans and bottles. Also, could use shakers for red pepper flakes, parmesan, and Italian herbs. But really the pizza was 5 star. Perfectly cooked. Cracked crust when folded.

Such a wonderful night out. We were celebrating a friends farewell and Gab and Tash really looked after us. The live music was absolutely incredible and wow, the pizzas were the best I’ve ever eaten. I’ll even go as far to say BEST PIZZA IN AUCKLAND CITY. Thanks guys! Such an absolute vibe. Would absolutely recommend! Oh, and the side salad! Oh my gosh, it’s a must.

Excellent, succulent, big boi pizzas. Consistant with great service and quality of food. The pizzas take their time but are worth every ounce of patience. The restaurant has a nice laid back charm and social atmosphere. A true Auckland gem

Always great.

Believe in your self and go get a pizza from this place as soon as it opens.

Best value pizza for its quality and size.

Literally felt like telling all Sal’s pizza stores to get a life with their prices after eating here.

Always ask for extra Parmesan because in life we can always do with a bit of extra Parmesan

Great pizzas made to order, in very friendly atmosphere (owner operated, from Brazil).
Making perfect pizzas is his route to self-satisfaction. Bar staff (Tash) is yet another draw card.
Highly recommended.

This is one of our favourite pizza places in Auckland. The pizzas are truely tasty - the meatball is a family favourite and our son adores the cheese pizza. So much so, our son even eats the crusts, which he never does, so it must be good.

Amazing pizza's made by Gabs. Exceptional service by Natasha. I must say they do know how to create an amazing atmosphere for their customers. Highly recommend this place

I recently moved from Chicago to Auckland and I’ve tried a few average pizza places here but this is delicious NY style pizza that stood out. Can’t wait to come back and try their other pies!

This is my favourite spot in all of NZ. Having travelled the world, eating pizza in the most historic and favourite pizzeria’s in the world, the pizza here is it. Whether you want a quiet weeknight takeaway or vibey Saturday night fun, Epiliotos nails it. Thank you for creating such an amazing vibe epilitos, what a great find New Zealand…

I absolutely love this place, amazing staff, amazing pizza! The team at Epolitos can make a seriously good pizza. Who cares about Alan Dempsey’s review I have come to this place for years and I bloody love it. Alan Dempsey? Bet that bloke is a bot!

Having tried the majority of so called "NY Style Pizza" across not only Auckland, but NZ entirely, I can confirm that Epolitos is the absolute best of the bunch. It truly reminds me of the classic NY slice I loved many years ago.

The plain and simple cheese pie is unmatched in quality, taste, price and appearance. A perfect amount of cheese and cooked with just that hint of char to give it that classic NY kick.

My new and ONLY pizza joint from now on, if you are considering eating from here, ponder no longer, you simply cant beat it!

Oh and not to forget, its one of the few food places that still serves you with a smile and makes you feel welcomed.

Was really hyped to visit, and we walked-in on Friday evening for a feed. Good location, friendly staff and they were crazy busy with fulfilling orders - mainly takeaways.

It took 45 minutes from ordering to being served - which was understandable but still, insane wait time. They don't have appetizers either, so. I was starving! And the aroma really wasn't helping: D

That being said, it was worth it.we went with the two most opposite House pizzas; Bianca was INCREDIBLE. One of the simplest pizzas, vegetarian and just heavenly. Especially after the wait, it really hit the spot! The Godfather, which is the one with basically every topping they have/ full of meat was also really good! Fresh, delicious and quality ingredients.

I was so eager and it was so tasty, I burnt every part of the inside of my mouth and that didn't stop me from scoffing down every last bit!

Still thinking about the Bianca pizza and I'll definitely be returning:)

Been in NZ for more than 20 years and was in the NY and Philly before that. Pizzas in AKL have mostly been disappointing until I randomly tried Epolito’s. The crust was perfect! The sausages bring back NYC memories! And the XL size was really XL! I’m even having leftovers for breakfast and I’m still very happy with it. Hope you stat true with proper pizza making!

Best pizza in all the land! Nothing hits like the tre fromagi with that rosemary ricotta Natasha always makes us feel welcome. No complaints.
