Love this place so much. One of my absolute fav Go-To places. Excellent gluten free range of food. Great service. Great view and atmosphere.

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

In short, I’ve been here twice and I’d choose to dine elsewhere in chch in places I know do a much better experience for this price. I don’t have pictures from our visit but they wouldn’t justify anything anyway. The truffle fries had no truffle, just pecorino cheese on top to make them look like truffle fries, a common hack/ trick. The gluten free pizza base could do with some work/improvements, we’ve definitely had better. The kids menu items are $20 which is so expensive for what you get. We ordered the kids macaroni, and for that portion (the size of a bread and butter plate in a small cast iron sizzler) it would cost $3 to make and they’re charging $20, already steep for a kids meal so I expected it to be amaaaazing. It also came out on a sizzling plate, from a kids menu!? Why would you serve a piping hot cast iron plate to children? It makes absolutely no sense. The staff could do with some major training on the drinks list, it’s a small wine list and wouldn’t take very long to teach the staff what is what, they knew nothing about wine whatsoever. The flavour of our pizza was ok, the beef cheek was lovely, they also have a sparking red wine which was new for us and delicious (even if the waitress didn’t know if it was actually sparkling red wine). All in all I’d choose other restaurants over this next time for sure. There just aren’t enough redeeming factors.

We were really surprised at how good the pizza was considering Hell Pizza is a chain restaurant. It was really good - and that was even with gluten free bases! They even did gluten free garlic bread, and the best bit - they sell vegan EatKinda ice-cream - made from cauliflower!! Super creamy and tasty - and saves cauliflowers deemed not perfect enough for sale at supermarkets, from going to landfill. Just brilliant! Must try :-)

Gluten free base to much like dry cardboard sadly.

Arbour Woodfired Pizza and Bar is a delightful gem nestled in the heart of Lyttelton. With its inviting atmosphere and a menu that celebrates the art of woodfired cooking, this establishment has quickly become a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Upon entering Arbour, you're greeted by a warm and rustic ambience. The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern and cosy, with wooden accents soft lighting and indoor plants that create a relaxed vibe. The open kitchen allows diners to watch the skilled pizzaiolos at work, adding to the overall experience. Also on the walls, you will find some original works of Bill Hammond, one of New Zealand’s leading artists, was a legendary figure in the port town. The star of the show is undoubtedly the pizza. Each pie given a Te Reo name is crafted with care, featuring a thin, crispy crust that is cooked to perfection in the woodfired oven.

Each ingredient is fresh, and the flavors are well-balanced, making every bite a pleasure. The seasonal ingredients shine through, and the presentation is always appealing. For those with dietary restrictions, there are ample gluten-free and vegan options available. The bar at Arbour complements the food beautifully, offering a curated selection of local wines and craft beers. Cocktails are also on the menu. Service at Arbour is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff is genuinely passionate about the food and drinks. Their enthusiasm contributes to the welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Overall, Arbour Woodfired Pizza and Bar is a must-visit spot in Lyttelton. Whether you're looking for a casual night out with friends or a cozy dinner date, this place delivers on all fronts.

I for one can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!

These pizzas are full of flavor and clearly are above the bigger chains. Ingredients you can see and love the fusion of indian flavors. The butter chicken pizza 10/10. Also, I love the gluten-free pizza base.

Delicious pizza and great service. They have the best gluten-free base I've ever tasted! My wife tried both a GF pizza and one with the regular base, and said both were delicious. Lots of very good vegetarian options as well. Highly recommended, looking forward to visiting again!

When it comes to takeaway pizza, nothing beats Hell. You pay a premium price for it, but a premium quality pizza is what you get. I love their gluten-free sprouted seed base, even though I'm not one of those gluten intolerant people. The onion rings are pretty darn good, too.

Gluten free pizza which you pay slightly more for but was definitely worth it! The owner was lovely and I would definitely recommend this Pepperoni pizza.

Nanda Keijzer

A+++ service, kindness and flavour :) I’m a coeliac so took a bit of risk but it was well worth it! The owners we’re super friendly and prepared my pizza with a lot of care (GF base, clean gloves, cleaned all utensils + the pizza stone as good as possible) I’d say my pizza was 95% GF and didn’t cause me any issues! The hand crushed tomato sauce and pepperoni we’re divine, thanks for a great experience and for offering proper Italian/European style pizza’s in NZ!

Julia Joseph

Love your pizza, but as a coeliac, I require a gluten free base. I am disappointed that we bought 3 pizzas, it cost 74 dollars and my pizza was called a double, but was half the size of the other two and more expensive. Coeliac is NOT a choice. Gluten free is the ONLY way to treat it!

Jenn Benden

I come here for the grocery products and deli. It is a delight to shop here, they make the atmosphere so soothing. The delightful colours, the Italian music playing, it's a dream. My recommendation is definitely buying yourself some pre-prepared sachets of risotto and pasta spices. The flavour is out of this world delicious, it's a treat! If you're gluten free, the pasta you buy here is the best I've tasted, so much closer to the 'real thing'. Totally recommend a visit.
