Ooh-Fa

Ooh-Fa is a standout pizza and wine bar in Auckland, born from the creative minds behind the popular pasta joint Pici . Situated at 357 Dominion Road in Mount Eden, this establishment has quickly become a sought-after spot for its unique take on pizza, complemented by a carefully curated selection of natural wines. The 22-seater venue boasts a warm and welcoming atmosphere, aiming to provide an intimate dining experience that emphasises the joy of sharing a meal and a glass of wine in a cozy setting​​.

The restaurant prides itself on its sourdough pizzas, which undergo a meticulous 70+ hour fermentation process before being cooked in a wood-fired oven. This results in a base that's both crispy and fluffy, providing the perfect foundation for their simple yet inventive toppings​​. Some of the standout pizzas include options like the nduja with ricotta (our fave), mozzarella, and garlic honey, and a seasonal cavolo nero with Italian sausage, mozzarella, and oregano​​​​.

Ooh-Fa's commitment to quality extends beyond their pizzas. The menu also features small plates such as wood-fired carrots with whipped ricotta and pistachios, and a variety of pickled vegetables. Their drinks menu is equally impressive, offering a selection of mostly natural wines alongside cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic options. The wine list, curated with a focus on New Zealand and Italian grape varietals, complements the food menu, providing an opportunity to explore different flavours and textures​​​​​​.

The restaurant operates Wednesday through Sunday, from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Due to its popularity and limited seating, booking in advance is recommended to secure a table​​. Ooh-Fa has established itself not just as a place for great pizza and wine, but as a neighbourhood gem where friends and family can gather for a special evening or a casual night out​​.
