Reviews of BASE Woodfired Pizza - Little High

A. D.

Too burnt for me. Don’t get me wrong, I do like crispy pizza and even a bit of black on the edges for the smoked flavour, but this is unintentionally burnt I think. I ordered from Uber eats so I suggest if you don’t want it burnt to this extent, leave a note. Otherwise the rest wasn’t bad.

c. c.

Great pizza. Good vegan option. Very delicious paprika and vegan pepperoni flavour. Good base not soggy and nice crisp. Small on was a good size meal while leaving space for some desert.

N. H.

Quite disappointed by our first bye tonight. The meat on the sir George has been dumped on the pizza in lumps and not spread. Also not cut properly and no presentation, like it was slapped in a box with meat chucked on it from across the kitchen. Very disappointed tonight... i review my one star to four. The manager rang me promptly to sort the issue and gave a credit. Thank u we ordered the refund pizza today and it was far better. Delicious and the meat was far better placed. Thanks for ur quick response to fixing our complaint

E. S.

First time we ordered from here and it was okay. The BBQ chicken had more feta cheese then chicken and the cheese on our fries were the consistency of what you get when melting plastic (it definitely had been sitting out for a while).

L. J.

I always get sir george, flavours and taste combo is probably the best on the menu. I've tried the pasta, lasagna is actually good. Tried ordering online, couldn't get through it even after trying many times. I think you guys better check your online order system or software again, something's not right.

H. N.

Went here a few days ago and got the large margherita pizza to share. The size and taste was there however the base was slightly burnt. Relative to other woodfire pizzas, this was on par however there was no wow factor.

S. F.

The pizzas were nice but lacked balance with flavours except for the 4 cheese pizza. The sweet chutney balance out the blue cheese and pulled all the flavours together quite nicely! By far the best pizza out of the lot.

S. H.

This is a great wood-fired pizza. I am very focused on pizza and have a different taste.

K. B. (.

Probably the best pizza I've ever tasted before. 10/10 would eat entire pizza alone and not feel shame. The fresh ingredients, the flavor combinations, the artistry.. remembering taking a bite, savoring each time my teeth crushed down and released flavors into my mouth, and the warm finishing swallow into my belly. Definitely the kind of pizza I would take home at the end of the night.

S. S.

I think I have found my new favourite meal in Christchurch - brisket loaded fries from Base Pizza and at only $15 they're a bargain - huge huge huge portion! My partner and I shared a pizza with the loaded fries and were both terribly full afterwards. Little High is an amazing place to get food and it's no surprise it's always busy!

J. P.

Best woodfired pizza in town. They also make great "bootleg burgers" too. Rob and the team are on point and customer service is always spot on. Cheers

f.

I had Sir George pizza, very tasty and fair prices, pleasant service, def be back!

K.

Dough is tad bit salty but overall very tasty pizza

D. M.

This is some choice pizza! Tastes really fresh and a fun environment (albeit a bit crowded). Good quantity for price too. Highly recommend and there are a variety of other options in this same space if you like choices. But you certainly can’t go wrong with this pizza! 🍕 😋

A. T.

Can't say enough good things about BASE woodfire pizza. Where to start.. the flavours that woodfired pizza offers compared to oven pizza is delicious. The combination of toppings are so good, vegetarian friendly. Has a flavour for everyone. The milkshakes are worth it, try one!! Trust me.

D. K.

The pizza is made inside a real sting stove, making the pizza soft, rich and hot! I highly recommend the lamb pizza!!! 用真的火爐整，味道特別出。推薦羊肉pizza

D. S.

Love the wood fire pizza. It's authenticity is number one in Christchurch. Superb taste unlike others. If you have a company of three please make sure you order two large pieces of pizza. You wouldn't regret it. Cheers.

F. R.

As a Sydney boy I was extremely impressed with these pizzas! The base, the tomato - OMG! Had the pepperoni and it was delicious. Been thinking about it and talking about it all afternoon. A must when in ChCh All the other food offerings looked great too, constantly looking at what other people in the center had ordered and all looked so good!

F. P.

Lovely pizzas. But this Freakshake is my favorite! 💕💕💕 Ohhh. Yum!

j. p.

Great pizzas. Well cooked and friendly staff. Definitely going again.

G. K.

I love their pizza and the milkshakes are incredible! All reasonably affordable too.

N. M.

Steal the deal !!!! You won’t get to know unless you try. Good portion size, quality and quantity ratio 1:1....Awesome customer service. Will go again.

M. T.

Every time I visit Chch I order Base Pizza. Every time it's superb. BASE I love you

P. Z.

The pizzas are small, even the large one is not big enough for sharing really. Pricey for what you get. Super saucy. I guess it's a good pizza for the NZ standard, but if you've been to Europe this would be considered average or below.

T. K.

Our favourite place for pizza. Highly recommend.

L. F.

What a cool place! Definitely on the top of our list! Thank you for our gorgeous pizzas 🍕

C. J.

Really good pizza, didn't take too long to make either. Great tasting, size was good. It cost me $20 for a large pepperoni which seemed like value for money

O. R.

The mushroom and feta pizza is delicious! However I found the Margherita lacking, the base was thickly covered in tomato sauce and I could not taste anything else.

D. C.

It is such a great place to go the pizzas look good and taste amazing and love the shakes i give the pizza and shakes a 10/10 it was that good

N. C.

BEST PIZZA EVER!! I had the Sir George and omg never tasted a pizza so good in my life

S. P. (.

Tried the pizza twice and most people would love it. For that reason alone I would say a must try. If I was really picky, the dough recipe is under seasoned and not consistently fully cooked through both times it have visited. But they don’t seem to use a door on the oven so that could explain why. This is easily fixed and I’m sure they will realise eventually. Their choice of toppings and variety of food on offer is excellent and the place has a good vibe. They do not deliver either, again I am sure they will eventually realise they are not meeting the demand in the market place on that score. That is the beauty of a competition in the market, rewards the best run businesses and clears out the bad. I hope they do well into the future. Well done and as I said you must go and try their pizza. I have eaten some of the best wood fired pizzas in the world and it is not easy to perfect. That’s why I rate this place highly.

F. M.

Had this for our first meal in Christchurch. Ordered a large pizza for 2 and were stuffed and satisfied. Served hot and fresh, can't go wrong with pizza on a cold day. The ambience of the whole place is great too.

s. s.

Lamb pizza super delicious! Attentive staff, easy ordering, fast service. Not many options to choose from but covers a good range of flavors. Cook upon ordering makes it so fresh but doesn't need to wait forever. Will definitely go back to try other pizza.

C.

Pretty nice spot and would say most people would enjoy their pizza, however, there was some parts of my pizza that was doughy and/or under-cooked. I would chalk that up the time of day and the fact it was a slower weekday and they were not busy. Therefore the oven floor was not up to the usual temp at a guess. IE: The top cooked perfectly but the underneath to middle did not get the same love. If you visited during a busy time I'm sure you would get a better result. Nice outdoor seating and the complex has a good range of beer on tap. Well worth a visit in my opinion.

D. H.

Had a great wood fired pizza from here. They were super quick and the pizza was awesome...

B. L.

Had a wonderful experience here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a small group and couldn't decide on what type of pizza to get... So we ended up splitting the toppings on a single pizza. It was amazing and the cost was very reasonable. Will visit again next time I'm in Christchurch!

C. H.

We went to base wood fired pizza a couple nights ago and it was good. Wait was a little long, as to be expected during the dinner rush, but the pizza was just alright. We got the spicy pepperoni and basil pizza. Pepperoni was a bit overpowering... Look wise, pizza is a 10 - taste wise it’s a 6 or 7!

H. J.

Nice pizza! Crowded during dinner time.

T.

Pizza was good size to satisfy your appetite and I'm fan of this chips.

B.

Honestly one of my favourite pizzas ever!! I normally get the king with no pineapple but today they put a different sauce on so I was very gutted when I drove home to share with my family to then realise it wasn’t what I thought I had ordered? But other than that they have been perfect every other time!! Love the service too.

S. M.

I had given up all hope on enjoying pizza again since becoming vegan 2 years ago and the vegan mushroom and thyme pizza is UNREAL even my non vegan, normal cheese loving partner had a bite and said it tasted just like normal cheese! The staff were really lovely and the pizza come out super fast can’t wait to go back again!

J. T.

Their pizzas are pretty expensive for their size, but they have a pretty good variety of flavours! Taste wise, their pizzas are better than average, but definitely still costly. Would probably eat this for sharing instead of having a whole pizza to yourself for dinner. Be prepared to spend at least $20 on pizzas from here!

F. M.

This food alley gathers several really great restaurants ! My friends had amazing wood fired pizza (in particular the one with peperroni and the slightly spicy sauce, we all loved it!) and my vegetarian burger was probably once of the best I had in a while.

R.

Really delicious bacon pizza. Cooked very fast. Our orders taken with a smile. We would return. I can recommend to anyone and everyone for a great pizza. No complaints at all

H. B.

Great pizza as always but the brisket loaded fries were unreal. I've never posted a review before but that was 100 percent worth it.

S. B.

Found these guys at Ruapuna park during the NZSBK champs with their fantastic classic Bedford pizza truck. Delicious & filling pizza, made by friendly happy people.

N. K.

The place was a litte difficult to locate, however was a hidden gem when found. The woodfired pizza was a treat. We had ordered the Veggie Pizza and were not disappointed, though I do wish they had jalapenoes available, nonetheless, a good meal after a long day of walking.

T. M.

Lovely pizza but chips were of poor quality/portion. Handcut fries appeared to be only deep fried crumbs which was poor for the price. I feel they could also add aioli/gravy as a sauce option for these.

S. B.

Truely magical pizza and good value too considering the quality. Wood fired pizza oven makes the difference. Also there are many different food outlets in the centre so the whole family gets what they want for dinner in one location. Will be back soon.

K. S. C.

Best pizza I have had for its price around the world

H. A.

The pizza was good but not that great. The fries is a no for me, the herbs were just too strong.

R. E.

Was served by a handsome chap named Jesse, very friendly with a lovely smile. The pizza was excellent and the milkshake wad very tasty. All in all very good but they could do with more staff like Jesse.

J. R.

Loved it! Fantastic Pizza (the Moroccan Lamb is really something interesting) and a good rounded APA on tap to help it down. Great atmosphere and perfect place to let off some steam after a long day at work. Figuring out where to go may seem a bit odd at first but the entrance is off the main road, down the passage way (see photo) and you walk straight into it. Look out for "The Little High" .... its inside 😉 I either Love a place (5-star), find it ok (3-star) or didn't like it at all (1-star).

P. M.

Great pizza. Awesome icecream sundaes!I'd suggest getting one to share as they are massive and come with things like whole donuts and brownies in them plus icecream plus cream plus sauce. Awwww so delicious

D. E.

Mac n cheese hash browns were epic. Pizza was really good but was expecting more for $19 and "large" could definitely be a bit larger. Overall awesome though and would go back.

G. R.

Lovely pizzas, great vibe

H. S.

Friendly service and the food came fast as expected from a woodfired oven. The pizza's were all right, the dough and tomato sauce could use more thought. Pepperoni pizza had so much black pepper (even whole peppers) to the point of unedibility.

F. A.

It was really delicious food and I would go back to eat again from there also the stuff was really nice give us some beaches to visit there and they was so friendly.

A. Q.

Fast and delicious Pizza. We are from Wellington and will definitely come here again when we are back in Christchurch.

L. R.

Haven't been here before but seems to be very popular. Lots of different food choices in the area

A. M. A.

What can I say, i love the Feta Mushroom. :) really recommended.

P. B.

Soooo full! Decided to have a pizza, Mac and cheese hash brown and washed down with an Oreo milkshake. All super tasty and highly recommend the mac bites. Enough for two people to share tbh.

A. A.

These guys had amazing vegan pizzas and mylkshakes, very “cheesy”, very “milky”. Probably the best vegan pizza I’ve had in New Zealand, hands down. Would recommend 👌🏽

E. V.

Very good pizza, very moreish and doesn't leave you sickly full and bursting at the seams. Very good quality food

A. E.

Delicious garlic flat bread and fries, hope to get back to Chch to try more pizza! Hard to find with Google maps as it's in a food arcade, but well worth it!!

S. L. F.

Good place. The atmosphere was chill and friendly. The pizza was good, but it can be improved. Impressed they had different vegan options

A. G. (. P.

Their freakshake is awesome and their pizzas are great value 👌

K. B.

This place has the best pizza! The brisket loaded fries were amazing as well.

J.

Pizza was absolutely incredible and for a good price too 😋

N. B.

Found this difficult to find as a visitor to the city, had a few false starts, but worth the trek. Neat location, tasty food, wish I had the opportunity to try some of the other items. Will likely visit again the next time I’m in Christchurch.

S.

Chicken pizza was pretty good

J. P.

The pizza here is amazing, energetic vibe and the set up offers other options too. Gotta try the garlic flat bread with balsamic reduction. Incredible!

J. B.

Tasty pizzas. Had to wait a bit too long for them. Good atmosphere. Eat in if there is a seat free!

M. B.

Decent pizza but good for the area. Service is a bit slow. The employees seemed very friendly to me, unlike the experience in some of the other reviews.

B. L.

Has a great time here. The pizzas are delicious and the staff are very friendly. The prices are reasonable too. Great experience!

Disaster strikes on every corner of this Earth in one form or another, whether it is by tornado, volcano, tsunami, or in Christchurch, New Zealand, Earthquakes. Over a period of a year beginning in 2010, the city was destroyed by a series of earthquakes, and now a 25 year plan is in place to rebuild it to its former glory. Part of this rebuilding plan includes bringing in new business to the area. In the center of the town is a makeshift mall with stores and cafes called Re-Start. It is a special area made up entirely of cargo containers, redesigned to house businesses. Among these businesses is a wonderful wood fired pizza establishment called BASE. Normally I write and focus on higher end restaurants and wine, but these cafes and small business trying to rebuild impressed me to the point where I had to write about them, and let the world know they existed. I and several co-workers were on our way to work in Antarctica for six months at McMurdo Station, and because of bad weather were delayed in Christchurch for over a week. During this time we had a chance to sample a lot of the local restaurants and see the rebuilding of the city from the devastating earthquakes. Inside the center of the city was Re-Start, where we ate several meals at local café’s, amongst them being Base, a small family owned cargo container, with a wood fire oven, and very higher end pizza selections with a variety of toppings you would normally see at a fine dining restaurant versus a small pizzeria. I have never run into a café built into a cargo container before, but If I were to compare the cuisine offered by Base to my other experiences in world travels, I would say they match if not exceed restaurants such as Gino’s Pizzeria, in Chicago and Pizza Republica, in Centennial, Colorado. It was also much better than a local pizza restaurant favorite called Winnie Bagoes. See the full review on the Wine, dine, and Play blog along with other stories.

E. F.
