Reviews of Nolita

S.

Great to have a fully vegan menu. We shared a few pizzas to try them out. They were all quite nice but not amazing. The pepperoni was voted favourite overall by the table. The place is a bit noisy due to all the hard surfaces, but thankfully the music was kept at a low volume. The service, décor, and general atmosphere were all good.

A.

Wasn't sure what to expect from a vegan pizza place but it was super good! The crust was very well done.

G.

Fabulous. We enjoyed everything. I'm not a vegan and I didn't miss the meat a bit. The mozzarella was absolute sorcery. The service was excellent, the food came out at a timely pace, and the ambiance was on point. Excellent value for money also. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?

K.

So excited to find a place that is fully plant based food 🌱 Great place with a lot of options depending on your taste. We got the Margarita pizza (which had a very tasty tomato sauce but needed more basil) and some smoked cheese croquettes - which I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND as they were so gooood 🤤

L.

The food is really nice, a great selection and variety, especially for groups with some vegan, some vegetarian, some neither. Unfortunately the service lets it down. The staff are all very friendly, but management need to work out scheduling as they often seem to be understaffed. Two people on FOH during weekend brunch is definitely not enough. Today, we waited about 50 minutes from when we arrived until we got food.

J.

Amazing place! Service was attentive and friendly. Food is delicious. Table shared a range of items and all were good. Not plant-based mimics, but actually good food that stands alone as tasty (and happens to be plant-based). Definitely will return.

L.

💯 Absolutely love it! Best pizzas 🍕I have ever had in such a long time. Book way ahead since they are very popular and always busy!! Will need to go back and try more other types of pizza. We had pepperoni, Sicily and Tutto Carne, loveee them all!

B.

Amazing vegan restaurant in Welli!♡an absolute must when coming to this city. Equally superb service and food.

h.

The food at Nolita is beautiful, but to wait over an hour for any food at all (even just a garlic bread) is a bit ridiculous. The restaurant was busy, but other tables that were seated after us seemed to get food before us? No discount offered either, the wait wasn’t acknowledged by staff much which was a shame as we were quite miffed. Only savior of the night was the delicious food.

L.

So delicious!! Highly recommend for an amazing brunch. Plum pancakes and big breakie. Top quality food and service

J.

Nolita take on a vegan pizza & pastaria really delivers with their in-house cheese and fermented sourdough. They have really good dine-in experience, their pasta dishes are pretty solid and some of their pizzas are definitely contenders for best pizza on cuba street. Their big breakfast is probably the best in Wellington!

E.

Delicious Carbonara, Tiramisu Brownie, and super friendly staff. Really enjoyed my dinner tonight. Will definitely be back when I am in Wellington next time.

C.

Amazing service, food, wine, location. Absolutely love being able to choose everything from the menu 😁❤️

t.

Friends and i were walk-ins on Friday night about an hour before closing time. The 3 male staff that served us were very friendly, attentive and accomodating. The Pizzas were really delicious and for me the custard desert was amazingly good. Great Team on that night combined with great food made for an excellent end to our outing!

E.

The pizzas were ok, I had the Pollo which to me needed more seasoning. My friend had the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was really tasty. I had the brownie for dessert, my favourite part was the topping, the brownie itself had a familiar chickpea taste. The service was great and overall I am curious about what the other Menu items are like.

S.

Love this place!! I brought my 3 friends who are not vegan and they all loved it too and were very impressed with how tasty the food is. Will definitely be coming back soon!

R.

Delicious food! I've had the garlic bread, fries, pizza, and breakfast, all delightful. Wait times could be improved though.

K.

Awesome food and atmosphere with super friendly staff

G.

A vegan experience. Good environment, staff cheery and helpful. Try the mixed platter, any Pizza or blue cheese and mushroom ravioli. Good. Nice range of non alc drinks.

A.

I wanted to love it ..so we went on the first night.We were told to order entrees as the kitchen was busy ..but a 1.5 hour wait was too long. Unfortunately the staff did not give us any information or take any drink orders apart from when we arrived. The food was good ..when it arrived .I hope communication improves ..we did not want to be complaining on the first night

D.

Good vegan option on Cuba street. Not too crowded. Avocado toast yummy. Americano coffee was good.

R.

Definitely one of the best (if not the best) plant-based meals I've had in Welly! Great service too :) I'll be back!!

G.

Great buzzy atmosphere in this place.... in fact for me it was the vest thing about it. Food very average. I later learnt it was a vegan restaurant, which explained why food felt dense and heavy.

R.

My fave restaurant in Wellington. Take your omnivorous friends here and let them try and tell you the food and drinks aren't amazing. Vive l'vegan!

R.

Ok so just had the Chicken Parma Sandwich and it was just absolutely exquisite, I've never had anything quite like it. The buns, the sauce the CRUNCH. Ohhh and the fries with that sauce holy heck you have just outdone yourself!!!!

w.

Great to see this recent addition to the Wellington scene buzzing with activity. As a vegetarian it's always great to be able to order off the entire plant based menu. And the food was great. Good variety. And the staff were wonderful and fun. Good drinks menu as well. Strongly recommended.

G.

Visiting Wellington for work a wandered around to find somewhere for lunch. Unknowing I sat down in a vegetarian to restaurant, but I'm always keen for something different so I gave it a go. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. I had the 'chicken' parmigiana which was totally brilliant, and I didn't really notice that it wasn't chicken. I would love to go back and try a wider range of their food and enjoy their Eat Wellington menu that looks really exciting. 10/10

E.

Food is incredible but staff is never pleasant to deal with - not sure what exactly it is but they just don't make you feel welcome. Feels like they are doing me a favour serving rather than welcoming to try some amazing vegan dishes. Been 3 times and every time the same experience. A bit disappoining for such a cool concept - hopefully the owners can look at better customer oriented training programs for the team. Thank you

R.

Absolutely delicious! Had The Scramble plus facon, and the Big Breakfast. Left extremely full and happy.

D.

Took my partner to the new place on Cuba St today, Nolita. The pizzas are the best I've had in ages, they're fantastic 😋 The menu has a wide selection of vegetarian meals. Staff were lovely and service was great. Best pizza in Wellington. Highly recommended.

G.

You wouldn't even know it was vegetarian. Big fan of the pizzas and sharing plates. The home made cheese is a really awesome way to own the whole process from start to finish. The crust has fantastic flavour and a really good crunch/chew. I really wanted to get to the desserts as the sourdough doughnuts and the apple turnover looks pretty amazing too. Next time we'll have to leave room for them. I am really looking forward to going back sometime in the future.

Z.

Yum yum yum!!!!! Dangerously good!! Be careful you will want to order everything! Wish we had this place in mount Maunganui

A.

Probably the best vegan cheeses I've ever encountered. Delicious stuff. You might need to book online for dinners though - it's popular

T.

Great food and brilliant meat substitutes. We were a party of 6 with a mixture of Vegans, Vegetarians and carnivores! All of us loved the food and the Italian wine.

P.

Great food, lovely staff. Nice place for a morning coffee too

L.

Very delicious food! Also the ambiance and look of the place it's very appealing. Servers are great too! You won't even know you're eating vegan as again the food is super tasty with great variety

J.

Beautiful plant based brunch, super impressed! Cosy atmosphere, excellent service.

M.

Wish I'd looked at some other reviews as a warning, but guess I'll just repeat what others have said: the food here is incredibly bland! This seems truly easy to fix - the ideas and fresh ingredients are all there, just season the dishes properly before they're served, rather than sending them out tasting like nothing and expecting your guests to figure out how much salt to add.

S.

Nice atmosphere, good service. I really enjoyed my blue cheese ravioli and I am not vegan.

A.

Average coffee, slow service, OK big breakfast though some of it was cold. The caesar salad seemed much better.

M.

Great service, awesome pizza and pasta and dont skip on the dissert! Commenting on people who thought food was bland: I was quite happy not having to drink a liter of water after having a pizza for a change.. We thought the food tasted very pure and fresh and didnt lack flavour at all. For us personally it was an amazing dinner experience, will come back here for sure!

T.

1st time I've been here Loved the food Staff brilliant 👏 & It won't be the last time either

C.

Great vegan Pizza! The "mozzarella" sticks were amazing. Lovely staff and nice vibes... Busy for their first week. Service was on the slow side but im sure this will improve with time. Recommended!

G.

Well priced, great atmosphere - one of the best choices on Cuba if looking for an expansive menu of western styled vegan dishes. If you order the pizzas just remember that there's nothing quite like the real deal when it comes to cheese.

n.

Lovely at nolita's,. Nice staff and venue. Beautiful scummy food. Must try plant based food. Happily recommend

B.

It's so very hard for anyone, any restaurant, to succeed in fulfilling the flavour profile of a traditionally meaty dish. I don't think these guys could have got any closer! Well worth a visit. I had the bolognese tagliatelle and was NOT dissapointed!

A.

Great vegan & vegetarian food. Love the pizza and beer range

A.

Amazing vegan food. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.

L.

Really yum! Very good portion sizes and a lovely atmosphere. The servers were really friendly and helpful as well. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Te Whanganui-a-Tara!

J.

Got the big breakfast, very decent serving size.

K.

We had pizza and I must say Scopa pizza is probably better. Service was great and the atmosphere was nice too!

S.

Service could have been better. Didn't get asked for dessert order so we left.

D.

Excellent vegan fare. Decent wine and beer list. Pleasant and patient staff. And Wellington's tiniest toilet to boot!

D.

We liked everything: the vibe, the staff, the food, the drinks and the prices. Well done.

A.

Not much to say other than that this is the best pizza I’ve had in NZ. I’m not vegan but I really didn’t miss any of the usual things I’d have on pizza. The cheese was convincing enough that I wouldn’t have realised if I did t already know it was vegan. The base is better than tommy millions and the toppings are even better

M.

Fantastic service with a great selection of tasty dishes on the menu. Thanks Nolita.👍

S.

Best vegan pizza I've ever had. The mozzarella is spot on. Flatbread is so much more than it sounds on the page! Looking forward to repeat visits. :)

A.

No impressed with takeout

D.

Great pizzas, amazing deserts and a friendly warm atompsphere. Our waitress was also a gem. I'd highly recommend.

k.

Fully vegan delicious Italian food? Yes it exists! Pizza, pasta, tapas including fried cheese balls (you have to try them!).

P.

I was really sceptical as I’m all for cheese but I was blown away by some of their dishes. Definitely try the bruschetta!

R.

Cozy and warm vibe with amazing plant based food. A must try vegan restaurant in our windy Wellington! 😍

J.

Exceptional! Half our table were omni eaters and all thought the meat ball pizza was fantastic! And the mushroom...!!! All the pizzas were amazing as are the jugs of lemoncelo cocktails. Highly recommend!

J.

Noy only was the location, atmosphere, and service just perfect, the food was divine. In particular, compliments to the chef on the Orecchiette - it was better than I had in Italy. Highly recommend!

W.

Busy Sunday night. Bit uncomfortable on bar stools but food was good. Had vege bolognese which I liked. Friend had beetroot gnocchi which she didnt. Dessert a bit disappointing. Nice vibe and helpful wait staff.

S.

I'M A LADY WHO LOVES HER MEAT BUT THE PORTION SIZE LEFT ME MORE STUFFED THAN A NIGHT AT THE RUGBY CLUB! GREAT STAFF, I'M STILL DIVORCED THO :(

H.

Wonderful food and lovely staff. But for they still need to have a better organization with their table's booking.

D.

Good service , ordered the Tutta carne and it is best plant based pizza I’ve ever had. Polenta fries are great too. Amazing food

J.

Cool space, great service with an awesome completely vegetarian food menu. Definitely recommended!

Hmmm its ok

m.

Wonderful food.

A.

The place was full. Busy night. Great staff. Loaded fries were great. Was a problem with the tomato sauce but that finally got sorted. Hubby enjoyed his bolognese. Waited an hour and a half for our main which was a bit long for our 8 year old. Would have been good if they had bought hers out early. I ordered Primavera pizza. But it was not as per the menu. It did not have the asparagus or the pickled chilli. Instead they had long green beans. Which was odd. If I had known that I would not have ordered it. Was a strange combination. Sourdough base was good though

M.

Absolutely impeccable food and amazing service. Looking forward to my next visit.
