You'll find it in the small run of shops on Belgium Street in Ostend, a takeaway counter turning out pizza, kebabs and fried rice for pickup or delivery right across Waiheke Island. It opens at 11 in the morning and keeps going until 8.30 at night most days, stretching to 9 on Friday and Saturday, so it covers lunch, an early dinner and that point in the evening when nobody can face cooking at the bach.
On the pizza side you can pick from the standard, premium and special ranges, and that's where it gets interesting: butter chicken, butter paneer, lamb, pepperoni and a spicy lineup, and if you're vegetarian you can have it made with vegan cheese. Kebabs come as mixed meat, falafel or vegan chicken with vegan aioli, in a wrap, on rice or piled onto chips, and there are munch boxes, cheesy garlic bread, jalapeno poppers and curly fries to fill out the order.
You order online and it's confirmed in about a minute, and they deliver to five zones across the island, and the Twin Pizza Deal knocks 30 percent off delivery when you order two standard pizzas. It's built for pickup and delivery rather than a night out, so plan on eating in a park or back at your bach.

This is the pizza a lot of Waiheke judges the rest by, and it comes out of a plain takeaway counter with no fuss at all. It's quick, inexpensive and consistent, which is exactly what you want at the end of a long day.
The butter chicken pizza is the one to order first, with butter paneer, pepperoni and the spicy range close behind, and any vegetarian pizza can come with vegan cheese. Add the cheesy garlic bread and jalapeno poppers, and get a mixed meat kebab on rice or a vegan chicken kebab with vegan aioli.
Service is friendly and quick, whether you're collecting at the counter or waiting on a delivery at your holiday house. If you order online, they confirm it in about a minute, and they've fired the oven up after closing time for someone who arrived late and hungry.
It's a small takeaway shop in Ostend, set up for ordering and collecting rather than sitting down, so the smart move is to take your pizza to a park or back to the bach. They deliver to holiday homes all over the island, and the food arrives hot and fresh rather than steamed in the box.
You're paying takeaway prices on an island where a sit-down dinner adds up fast, and a pizza or a kebab here goes a long way. The delivery fee is the sting, climbing by zone the further out you are, though the Twin Pizza Deal on two standard pizzas knocks 30 percent off it.
It's best for families, groups in a holiday house and anyone who needs dinner without a booking, with kids well covered by pizza, nuggets and chips. Order a few pizzas and a couple of kebabs between you and everyone gets what they want.
Consistency is the grumble, with a couple of regulars saying portions have shrunk and prices crept up, and the odd pizza turning up part burnt or light on toppings. If you're after proper Italian style pizza, this isn't it, and the delivery fee stings once you're in the outer zones.
