Nolita is New Zealand's first plant-based pizza & pastaria on Wellington's buzzing Cuba St. We do things a little differently with 48 hour fermented sourdough, house-made cheese, pasta & flatbreads.

What People Say

"this place put vegan NYC pizza joints for a run!"

Reviewers consistently praise the cozy atmosphere and attentive service, with many highlighting the quality of vegan dishes.

"Had a wonderful evening celebrating my wife’s 40th. We booked in advance for Saturday 8pm and glad we did, the place was full with a great vibe. Staff were attentive and friendly and rhetorical food delicious as always."

"Came for brunch. Service and coffee: great Food: average. Took a long time to come out (it was a public holiday), and the eggy French toast just wasn’t that nice. However great if you’re a vegan or vegetarian because they have options of brunch/lunch classics. And the mocktails sound worth trying."

"Aged brick walls, candles on the tables, it was such a romantic vibe for our date. We come from the New York area- the land of famous pizza - and this place put vegan NYC pizza joints for a run! As NYC locals, we really wanted to try this all vegan pizza they offered at Nolita."

"My friends had never been to Nolita before (I had) and they loved the food! I did too, it was better than I remembered. While none of us are vegan, we appreciate the availability of tasty Kai. The service was prompt and the food didn’t take long to appear. It disappeared even faster!"

"We love going to Nolita's for family occasions: it easily seats 10-15 people; vegan, vegetarian and omnivore are all catered for; the meals are deliciously tasty and BIG; the prices are reasonable; and the staff are unobtrusive a.nd efficient."
