red dining

first of all i'd like to thank the chefs thefoodwas outstanding especially the pork belly. the service however was apauling, we called up to make a reservation at 6:30 they told us that's our busiest time so we than asked what time will it be quiter as we have a young child with us, we were than advised 7pm. arrived at 7pm we were than advised ourfoodwould be late by a further 30 mins as this is there busiest time. if that was the case they should of told us the truth in the first place. then the waitress we had either couldn't understand english or she was deaf as we had to repeat your selfs over and over. while talking to the waitress she started rolling her eyes. someone with little respect and can't do her job properly shouldn't be working there or any where near customers for that fact.

i would like to congratulate sandra and her team for a very memorable night. the restaurant was fully-booked on a saturday night at 6pm, we had a table of 25 for our daughter's 16th and we never had to wait long forfoodor drinks.
the 3 x 1 metre long pizza's, pasta, breads, salads, dips and desserts were enjoyed by all, i can honestly say everyone had no room left in their stomachs, thank god for "doggy bags." my eye fillet steak was cooked to perfection and i noticed my daughter did not want to share her "birthday cookie." (yay more for us!)
the heaters and the rugs did come in handy but there were know complaints from anyone.
well done to everyone, you will see us again :-)

i dealt with sandra back in may this year. firstly for our social club event, where 5 metre long pizzas were ordered and delivered with a happy smile, they went down a treat. secondly around a week later our company had team building, with late notice, red pizzeria managed to fit us in without a problem, and catered to everyone's needs. deliciousfoodand wonderful service.

excellentfoodat red pizzeria, always tasty! wish you had a few more fodmap friendly options on your menu however.

recently had friends from melbourne staying. they were very impressed and said they had the best pizza in the world. always very pleasant friendly, and professional staff. we visit often and all thefoodhas been wonderful.

a friend and i regularily go here for lunch, im in and out after a gorgeous meal in my a lot lunch break from work :-) lovely friendly staff and thefoodis just...too good ;) also had my 30th birthday there with a group of 16. everyone loved thefoodand the atmosphere. we had a great night!

had large group for function in outdoor conservatory. brilliant night. pre-ordered thefoodand it was served at the times we required. thanks to sandra the ambiance was lovely and considering it was winter very warm and cosy. great pizzas and would recommend. especially perfect set up for large groups.

greatfoodand decor. staff very friendly but need to pick up the pace. very professional when this was advised. although this is up to the restaurant manager to help servers be more efficient.

red pizzeria is very unassuming at first, from the outside looking in, but once they welcome you into their fantastic new venue, you can see and feel you are in for something quite special. it surrounds you in its casual yet classy fitout, the booths are great for an intimate/private 'a'fare' or the outdoor area to bask in the afternoon sun are a real treat. the staff are just superb - friendly, professional & efficient. thefoodis all class with generous helpings and very well priced. this is just what whangarei needed and will definitely make it a regular, any other restaurant around town could learn a thing or two...or a lot reva's...

really liked this place. greatfood(especially the antipasto platter), service and ambiance. i like the intimacy of the booths and our pizza was delicious. all in all i thought the meal and drinks were pretty good value for money. i would definitely go back!

just recently opened, i have been here 3 times now and its an amazing place to eat! thefoodis excellent every time! have friends that keep going back as thefoodis so good. they don't just do pizza either. great atmosphere, great service, greatfoodand reasonably priced. it doesn't get much better than this. you'll not regret this place.
thanks to the team at red.
