Non Solo Pizza
Last updated October 14, 2026
Non Solo Pizza (NSP) recently ushered into a new era with a comprehensive revamp that has both locals and visitors buzzing with excitement. This beloved institution, known for its authentic Italian fare, has been a staple for the community since its inception, blending traditional flavours with contemporary flair.
Under the meticulous eye of Christopher Rendell, who boasts an impressive international culinary pedigree, NSP has undergone a transformation that pays homage to its roots while embracing modern dining trends. The refreshed menu features a vibrant array of dishes that showcase the best of modern Italian cuisine, from chargrilled octopus with baby potatoes to lobster crostini, and chicken cotoletta, each dish is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and innovation.
The interiors, redesigned by Paul Izzard and his award-winning team, along with the courtyard, offer a visual and atmospheric feast, transporting guests to a Tuscan garden. Green and white-striped banquet seating, marble tables, and an abundance of plants create a setting that's perfect for leisurely Italian-style lunches or vibrant evening gatherings.
NSP's beverage offerings have also seen an update, with a focus on Italian classics and inventive takes on familiar cocktails. The dedicated Negroni menu and the renowned aperitivo hour from 5PM to 7PM, featuring complimentary oysters and small bites, underscore the restaurant's ethos of fostering communal joy and celebration.
In a significant move, Savor Group, known for its portfolio of high-quality hospitality venues, acquired Non Solo Pizza, marking a new chapter in the restaurant's storied history. This partnership aims to enhance NSP's legacy while expanding its reach, ensuring that it continues to serve as a cornerstone of Auckland's Italian dining scene.
Non Solo Pizza's accolades, including being voted Auckland's Best Neighbourhood Eatery, are a testament to its enduring appeal and the role it plays in the community. Whether for an aperitivo, a family lunch, or a dinner with friends, NSP delivers exceptional food, service, and an atmosphere that makes every visit memorable.
