Pizza was great but the organisation needs some work. We ordered two and got a 50% success rate. If they can get your order right then you will throughly enjoy the pizza.

We ordered the wedges...which were a huge portion and really different to the usual, and a chicken, meats and bbq pizza. The pizza was amazing! Im a huge pizza fan and this was fabulous!

The title says it all really. The pizza is very good but its kind of small and over priced for that reason. Drinks are rather expensive as well but good view of the ocean.

The guy behind the bar had the personality of a house brick, didn't make eye contact, didn't smile, when asked about a jug of water he just pointed to the self serve water dispenser with a mild grunting sound. The salads were much the same as you'd get at any other place and priced accordingly. Food 8 out of 10... More

Pizzas are a bit pricey at $28, but delicious as. We ordered the meat lovers, a chicken and a seafood pizza. The six of us all reckoned they were the best pizzas we'd ever had. And the seafood pizza was the best of the lot

The best part about this restaurant was the pizza, which was actually very good. But it was expensive and so were the drinks (NZ$8.50 for a glass of pinot grigio). You can buy a bottle for $15 in the supermarket, but the mark up on alcohol in NZ restaurants is extortionate. Location of the restaurant is OK. There is an... More

Every time we visit Paihia we have to have Frank's Pizza. They are so yummy..........love the Vegetarian one with Kumara & Aioli drizzled across the top. Yum! Yum! Yum! Good service. Right opposite the beach, so very scenic.

I did not get the chance to eat a meal here, although I watched several happy customers devouring delicious looking meals while I was having coffee. The service was very efficient and the coffee was the best I had in my entire 2 weeks in NZ.
