winnies gourmet pizza bar

the pizzas are really yum, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. the location isgoodand atmosphere and service are friendly. definitely recommend.
personally impressed by the vegetarian zulchi pizza.

they offer some of the most delicious pizzas i have ever tried. they a very nice and friendly environment, withgoodmusic. i would definitely recommend this restaurant in queenstown.

my friend and i ordered a medium size montanara pizza and kiwi fries. there’s a size model on the wall that people can see before they order. medium size pizza feeds is pretty full. i really love the chicken on the pizza as it was really well flavoured. loved the sour cream also, suits the pizza well. kiwi fries was a bit salty tho
the restaurant was quite crowded and noisy, quite dim so not reallygoodfor phototaking.

slightly overpriced pizzas and food but they tasted very nice. you can get a big pizza with two different halves to share which wasgoodso we could try different things. also had a yummy mushroom and blue cheese soup.

to get a table and avoid the wait id get in early. this place is pumping,goodfood andgoodservice for a damngoodprice. the fish and chips were spot on. goes down nicely with a cold beer from the tap.

early sat dinner with the two ninos.
quick and efficient service andgoodfood.
the kids spag bol would be more than i could eat though, but the kidlet gave it agoodcrack.
the salmon and polenta was great paired with a kumara salad.
it's a nice place withgoodfood and a roaring fireplace to warm up in winter.

all i have to say is a 'must go'. the place isgoodwith awesome food and service. we had the barbeque chicken pizza and the taste was out of the world.goodoptions for meat eaters. disha singhal

pizza was awesome!goodatmosphere inside, definitely go again! quite agoodselection of beers on tap! we sat out on the balcony and it wasn't too cold, especially being here in winter!

my partner talked about this place so many times as he visited winnies around two years ago -  so as expected, i was super excited to try out one their famous pizzas. we ordered the crispy bacon pizza to share.. we didn't wait too long until the pizza arrived - during this time we enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace- after my first slice of pizza, i felt slightly disappointed. i guess because my partner had over-hyped howgoodit would be. i don't think i would come back for the pizza, but i'm open to try other things from the menu :)

was not asgoodas the cow restaurant.atmosphere is tooogoodlots of people around.nice service....

pizza was ok but nothing special.. the arancini was nice.goodservice even with a big group.goodlarge portion sizes and a nice atmosphere

we went here as a big group tonight (20pax) for dinner! the service was sogoodand fast! they did a reallygoodjob with our order, wasn't a single mistake. the pizzas were delicious, so fresh and heaps of toppings! we were all very happy and will definitely be returning!

like this place, casual atmosphere, funky with the opening roof, relaxed decor.

did a takeaway pizza one night, back to the hotel room. was a fairly basic americana pizza, pepperoni, cheese, that sort of stuff. didn't want anything too frilly and it fit the bill. was good, not write home fantastic, but good.

came back another night for a dine in. we didn't actually order pizza, instead i ordered the buffalo wings and ribs. pleasantly surprised, they were very good. wasn't a fan of the coleslaw that came with the ribs, its a personal thing i guess, but the ribs themselves were tasty with a great bbq sauce.

the wings were also good, fleshy, not dried out,goodbbq sauce and great blue cheese dip. would liked to have had more celery but hey, why spoil a meat pig out with vegetables.

the rest of the family also really enjoyed their meals however mine were best.

good beer selection too.

worst hospitality / customer service i have ever experienced. i have never written a review for anything before,goodor bad, but this terrible experience merited it. i am an american traveling in new zealand on holiday for a week and yesterday was my first day in queenstown. my boyfriend and i decided to go out to experience the local nightlife. we met a nice couple at the first bar we went to and they suggested that we go to winnies as they had a billiard table there and we all felt like playing a round of pool. as soon as we walked in the first thing i noticed was the abundance of clearly intoxicated 18/19 year olds. there was a stage where they were doing karaoke and dancing in front of the stage. we made our way to the back corner to the pool table which was thankfully clear of people and paid for a round of pool. we had just started playing when the lady from the couple we were playing with left to go to the rest room and left her full drink she had just purchased on the pool table by accident. as soon as she left to the restroom and extremely rude blonde woman working there came up and yelled at us for having a drink on the pool table, which to be perfectly honest looked about as clean and in the condition of a pool table you would find in a frat house in america. before we even had a chance to apologize the rude woman employee grabbed our friend's full drink and yelled at us saying she didn't care she was taking the drink and throwing it out. next, as we began playing a male employee came up and threw the pool table cover on the table in the middle of our game and started grabbing the balls. my boyfriend asked him what he was doing and he said he was putting away the pool table. my boyfriend then kindly asked if we could please finish the game we had just started, since that was the only reason we came to this bar in the first place. the rude blonde employee, whom we found out actually might have been the manager, came up and looked at the male employee and snapped "no, they're done". when we began to politely ask what the problem was she cut us off and again snapped "i don't care, you guys are done, we're putting the table away." my party was sober and was not about to pitch a fit but as i was trying to collect my belongings to move out of the way another male employee actually grabbed my arm and shoved me out of the way. i don't know how they do things in new zealand, but if any bar in the u.s. treated their customers the way we were treated at winnies, they would be out of business in no time. i don't want to hold this experience against queenstown as it's a beautiful place, but this definitely tainted my experience here. my suggestion to the owners of this establishment: hire a staff with proper hospitality and customer service skills who treat patrons with kindness and respect. my suggestion to other prospective customers: don't come here unless you actually enjoy rude staff and poor service.

a friend who i was on this trip with would not sbut up about winnies, so we decided to give it a try. what can i say! the pizzas are amazing!!! a friend also ordered some wings which were perfection. the vibes in the place are so happy and buzzy, everyones having agoodtime. the staff are very welcoming and friendly too! we even came on our last day in town to buy a few pizzas to take back to auckland for a friends dad who loves the pizzas from here, and to make it better, while we were waiting for the pizzas we went and played pool on their pool tables to kill time! love this place and will definitely be spreading the word to all friends visiting queenstown :)
