Have dined here on numerous occasions. Food is always delicious and service has always been very good. Quite pricey however you pay for what you get which makes the experience well worth it.

needed to meet some friends in ponsonby and remembered gpk from years ago, and boy was i not disappointed! on a Friday night the restaurant had a lively atmosphere and the cool booths in the bar were a great place to start. very friendly bar staff that recommended me a great wine of the month and a lovely champagne cocktail for the ladies. decided to stay and eat in the bar and order some pizzas. We decided on the Bombay and country and they were just as good if not better than i remembered! few more drinks then we ordered the chocolate decadence (yummy) and aorangi brie cheeseboard which was very generous! my friends and i had a great night and i would recommend gpk to anyone heading out on the town. thank guys! pete

Fantastic food! Pizza and pasta are really reasonably priced, while the mains are a little more expensive but very impressive. Great service and cool decor!

Crap food. We went expecting this to be a good dinner experience. I ordered the Lemon infused pasta. This was very dry and boring and was meant to have prawns in it – there was about 4 or so dry pink shrimp things, I think were meant to be prawns- GPK rip off at $28 a dish.

The pork belly was bland and the portion size was not even tapa size, a rip off portion at $34 – and left my partner hungry and wishing we had gone to MacDonald’s instead – sad to say but it would have been better.

We enjoyed the friendly service though it did take longer than expected to order drinks at start of dinner. The mains were all very well presented and nicely cooked fresh and tasty, though I felt mine could have been hotter at start. Very impressed with the feta that came with mine.

Love GPK Ponsonby.
I ordered the siloin 360gram main lovely cooked perfectly and comes with platter of sauces for the meat, the mustard like was my favourite. Steak knives are large pretty cool :)

I also asked if I could have a creamy spinach side was of high standard, NOT over cooked at all and had chopped fresh garlic added as well, i was blown away, the spinach was quality baby spinach leaves aswell..

Lost a black silk jacket that time there and couldnt get it back the next day strange enough but ah well I found a replacement jacket.

This was a great dining experience. The food arrived promptly and the service was friendly and attentive, yet the staff didn’t make us feel rushed. The bread we ordered as a starter was fresh and the shared chicken teriyaki pizza was just enough for two!

Went a few weeks ago, a group of over 12. One of the worst service I’ve had. No one asked if wanted drinks, had to call someone over. I order the duck paste dish, could have bounce the paste down the table, so rubbery. No asking how it was, nor drinks. No offer of dessert. Our waiter paid more attention to a table of two, then ours. I would not recommend this place, in fact it’s the one place I discourage people to go.

The food here is always so delicious, with excellent pizzas and side salads.

The cocktail list is great and the bar environment is nice and relaxed.

I always come here for a meal out as it never disappoints.

Service may be the one thing they need to improve on though.

This restaurant has recently changed the chef. The menu has been updated and there are special menus for weekend dinning. What has always been a good ( safe choice ) place to go is now somewhere that looks to be improving. Service is usually very good, with good flavors and presentation on the dishes. Only low for me is the ever so slight feeling of being spoken down to when I choose “tap water” rather than the expensive mineral water for the table.

Fantastic Fettuccini Carbonara! Perfect portion for me – not too much, ate everything on my plate. Went here for a company Christmas lunch and there was something for everyone on the menu whether it be a salad, pasta or pizza. Definitely go again.

My wife likes the pizzas. Banana on a pizza is a no no though. Mains are always good. Clean tasty food. Nice to go somewhere with table clothes and staff that don’t drag their knuckles too much. Water is damn expensive and specials don’t seem to change much. Normally a safe bet for not having a sore gut or needing to go somewhere else. Good for people watching too.

I had a pizza here and found out afterwards that the letters in the name of the restaurant stand for “Great Pizza Kitchen.” That one actually made me laugh.

I recently visited Auckland and the North Island (from Florida) and had lunch here. It was sooooo good (a great salad), and the service was flawless. So, I went back for dinner one evening, also. Again, it was a hit. Moderately-priced, very good quality, friendly service. I looking forward to returning here on my next visit to N.Z.!

Good Food – always consistent, affordable and usually (usually) quicky delivered. Service can be great, but occassionally snooty. Love the GPK Chicken Burger, adore the country pizza (okay don’t tell my cardiologist). Also worth a mention is the salmon salad.

I had dinner at GPK for the first time on Friday night. The food and service was excellent. The mains were generously portioned and the side dishes were delicious. My only comment would be that the lighting was quite dark (at least on our side of the room). It would improve the atmosphere if there were candles on the table.

I love the consistency of GPK. I can never decide if its the pizzas or eyefillet I love more which are always cooked to perfection! Great desserts too. I have been a regular here for many years and have visited all the outlets. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is great. Keep up the good work GPK, I’ll be back!

Food was mostly good. However, the medium rare steak was served bloody and had to be sent back, only to be brought back to the table well done – that was bad. They were also a tad understaffed and it took a while to get some service. To make matters worse, they stuffed up our bill. Seems more like a restaurant that’s on the decline. Definitely worse than the previous time. Do not eat here if you can’t chance a mess up. I expected better, way better.
