La Dolce Vita

We have had lunch here twice in two days. The pizza, atmosphere and service by the very friendly staff is just the BEST. You won’t find a better pizza or service on Waiheke!

The best Italian food I’ve had in my four years in New Zealand!
Lasagna was outstanding!
I’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommend! The staff are so chirpy and friendly, and the pizza is next level! Real Italian vibes. Yum!

So so friendly, the smell from down the street lured us in, delicious pizzas & the best vibe for our girls weekend away top notch Italian cuisine

Everything was perfect.
One of the best Pizzas I had in my life.
If you will be on the Island this is a must Do if you like italian food.

No need to go to Italy, just superb food by passionate people.
Lemon ice cream is from a different planet?

Nice gelatos, ~8 flavors, natural fruits, dulce de leche, Belgian chocolate, Hazel nuts; have a nice deck to eat outside the store (inside very hot due to the pasta pizza restaurant)

Friendly Owner & staff. They offer wonderful Pizzas, Pasta & salads. Authentic Italian flavors including Fantastic Gelato. Very Yummy!

Fabulous authentic pizza. The people that work there are Italian and know how to do pizza the way it should be. The gelato is also authentic and is made on site. You’d have to go to Italy to find pizza this good.

I arrived at the restaurant alone, there were no customers at all. I place my order and 5 minutes later 3 groups of people walk in.

They got served cutlery and received their food before me. They even apologised to them for the late service and yet they ignored me. Had I not stood up to ask for my food, I doubt they would have served me.

I was so aggravated that I ask them to make it a takeaway instead and all they said was sorry. I have been there multiple times for their ice cream, never got any bad service, but I am appalled at how they would treat a paying customer like this.

Perhaps it’s because I was the only person of colour present.

I love the vegetarian slice pizza. Super tasty, I really miss this type of pizza. Cozy and comfortable place. Their coffee was great too.

I recently had a pasta & a gelato from La Dolce Vita and I can quite honestly say that it was one of the best I've had anywhere in the world. With relaxed tunes going in the background and the market happening just across the road, the atmosphere, staff & food are all class and the price is very reasonable. Whether your looking for a coffee and a ice cream or something to satisfy the tastebuds I'd recommend!

Best pizza and gelato on Waiheke by far! Owned by a lovely Italian family. Look no further for amazing home made pizza and gelato! Yum!

We ordered a beef lasagna, their Monthly special Pizza and the beetroot salad. Delicious food, full of flavour and authentic Italian food! Also, great customer service. A place not to be missed if you are planning to visit Waiheke. This little gem is one of the Local’s best choice.

Amazing food - no matter what you eat! Hot insider tip from a local: affogato with hazelnut icecream! And all pizzas and coffee si very good

Well done team, the Pizza is #1, Gelato is just amazing, we were lucky that you were open on Monday. Do not miss the experience if you visit Waiheke Island.:)

I'm Italian and I can guarantee that the pizza and the ice cream taste just like home!
But more than that, a pretty high quality even for an Italian!
Extremely recommended!

I highly recommend you stop here and give this place a try. Amazing pizzas with a Gelato to top it off. Definitely on my list when I return to Waiheke.

Great customer service. Awesome and genuine traditional italian pizza and ice cream. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food and reasonably priced for such good quality. The pizza base bread is so good and I have recently tried the canelloni and one of the salads and again really excellent. Getting a take away from here is like eating out in the comfort of your own home.
