Not particularly good woodfired pizza.
I have been there a couple of times and the second experience confirmed my initial feelings about the place.
I would put up with the flies, and the waiting, and the poor customer service but the pizza base is stodgy and populated by an anemic amount of bland toppings.
I’m not exactly sure what happened as when they were located on the Kapiti Coast their pizza was exceptional

The best pizza in town. We went there when my partner and myself were starving. We had a coupon from the entertainment guide so got buy get one free pizza. We also had the flat bread with dips, a glass of wine and a beer. It was tasty and yum. My boyfriend said that the meat pizza was the best meat pizza he has ever had. I had the special: crispy crust, garlic base, meat and capsicum. So yum. The flat bread with dips was great as well. We WILL be going back even without a coupon!

I’m a huge pizza fan, not the yucky everyday delivery pizza but the delicious thin base real ingredient pizzas.
And therefore, I am shocked to read some of these reviews.
Heaven Pizza has recently made top spot on my favorite pizza places list. Not only are the pizzas amazing, but the atmosphere is great too. Really enjoyable all around.
As for some of these price complaints… if you want cheap pizza go to Domino’s… if you have taken the time to eat out at a nice place then an extra 3 dollars or so is no big deal. And in my opinion 100% worth it.

Won’t be going back, waitress walked past me at least 5 times without at least a hello. Then she forgot the drinks, and we didn’t get a knife and fork (yes some people like to have the choice of having a knife and fork) food was average lucky we had a voucher.
Travelling alone is never fun, less so when its weekend and even worse when you’re working! Id just done 12hours straight when I walked into Heaven looking for some lovely tasty good which would be reasonably priced.
I had tried two other places on Cuba st but felt very self conscious walking in alone so almost gave up! So glad I didn’t! I walked into a happy relaxed welcoming atmosphere late on Fri eve. The surroundings were beautiful, genuine and special, even down to the beaten copper lightshades. I ordered salmon pizza which is my personal treat for almost 20 years. Whilst waiting I had a jack and coke and was made to feel like one if the family. The feel of the place is relaxed and happy, you could stay in there for hours and not feel awkward!when my pizza was ready I felt a little sad to be leaving but surely I will return here every time I’m in Wellington. tHe salmon pizza is the best I’ve ever had, the base was a delicate, light, and perfect partner for the beautiful toppings.
Well done guys. An awesome atmosphere, place, people and the best food. Even the desert I grabbed from the fridge was amazing.
This is my new top place to eat.

Have been to Heaven three times now and have loved it every time! Great pizzas, awesome atmosphere and friendly staff. What more could you want?
Pizzas= Great range, all different types I’ve tried have been yummy; especially like the salmon pizza and the smoked chicken pizza.
Atmosphere= great music, lovely wood-fire smell, eclectic decor.. the list goes on!!
This last time we also had dessert (baklava and tiramisu). Were both very yummy as well.
Highly recommend!!

I really enjoy the pizza options from Heaven. Staff have been friendly on each of the four visits I have had there. Plenty of room on the large tables for families and groups to all sit and eat together. I enjoy the thin crust and full flavours I have received each visit.

Possibly one of the best pizza restaurants I have ever been to. On a school trip a few weeks back in Wellington and went to this place both nights, most of our group came the second night after we discovered it, because of the fantastic pizza and awesome service. Friendly, funny staff who are very welcoming. Great deals for students as well. Can see this place getting very popular – very quickly! Will be sure to drop in again next time I’m in Wellington and it is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for an all round great restaurant experience.
I have been coming to Heaven’s Pizza on a consistent basis (always on a Monday) because of the extremely friendly and helpful staff, the great food and awesome atmosphere. Always upon entry I am greeted with a friendly smile and given a menu and time to think about what I want. The music and vibe in the place is great and always puts me in a good mood. When you think about going out and having a good time this is EXACTLY what you can expect from Heaven Pizza. The service is more than above excellent and I am always asked whether I enjoyed my meal and so forth. There is a great selection of pizzas to choose from and accommodate for vegetarians and people who are gluten intolerant. Lastly, the vibe gives it a good dynamic. The music is always cool and the indoor/outdoor seating sets a nice feel to the place (especially with the vintage and reusable pieces throughout the restaurant). I would definitely recommend this place for a good night out!!

We dine relatively regularly, mostly late on Sunday night. The staff are always friendly and efficient.
The food is always of the highest quality.
Last night, the lady did not notice us immediately, and as we were in no rush we waited until she finished what she was doing. When she noticed us, she was most apologetic and we all managed to have a good laugh about it.
I recommend the haloumi, pepperoni or magherita pizzas…all yum

Every time I have dined here I am never let down! The pizzas are beautifully cooked and packed with flavour! Although it may be pricey for the average Joe it is definitely a place to go for a special treat with friends and great atmosphere.

I caught up with a friend recently, we were both not feeling particularly rich, so wanted to make use of an Entertainment Book voucher – I suggested Heaven Pizza as there was a two-for-one pizza voucher in the book. I had also been once before with work – loved the pizza & atmosphere.
My friend needed gluten free options so rang & checked they did do gluten free before we went & we checked with the waitress before ordering that it was OK to use the voucher, she advised yes. The owner was friendly and starting chatting to us as soon as we sat down.
We ordered wine & two pizzas, one with a gluten free base. After waiting a while we asked if we could make both pizzas gluten free so we could share flavours, but they had run out of gluten free bases. Pizza was delicious, wine was a really good price. Music and vibes were awesome, after the meal we finished our wine outside by the open fire, the owner joined us for a brief chat and cigarette.
Upon leaving however, we went to pay and presented our voucher at the till, the owner made a joke about it being expired or not able to be used – we all laughed, he took the voucher, rang it all up and charged us. We went halves with eftpos and hadn’t really added up the bill before paying but shortly after walking out we realised that we were charged full price with no discount applied for our voucher… we didn’t want to make an embarrassing scene & go back.
Pizza was nice, but we felt ripped off. Don’t put vouchers in the Entertainment Book if you don’t plan on actually giving the discount to your customers. Will not be going back or recommending Heaven Pizza anymore…

I give zero for this place and will never go there ever again.
I took my family there for dinner. Today is Wednesday and there were many students so they were busy. that is fine but the staff treated us invisible. No apologies and no attention. The owner was busy making pizza and being apologetic but if he hired one more staff it would have been different.
We sat at the table which still had dishes etc from previous customers. They didnt clean until we asked several times. I asked for water and staff, she pointed the fridge so I collected the jog. There was no glass and she didnt bother to say where I get the glasses. So I asked where the glasses are. The owner seemed bother with the obvious question. He pointed the one side where all the glassesWe waited and ordered 3 small pizzas and waited for 43 mins.
The pizzas are pricy and topping was MEAN. The size was small – just 4 pieces and paid $14.50.
When I went to till to pay for the pizzas. The owner and staff didn’t bother to say “sorry can you wait a bit? No way. Just pretend I wasn’t there. Literally I was standing there for more than 5 mins. The staff (a young girl with blondy and Italian accent) didn’t even look at me. So once again I was invisible. Finally the owner came and tried to organise the payment. I wanted to say something I simply decided I will never go there so what use? I just told him he needs to hire extra staff because staff were so busy so they didn’t see customers as human beings but as tasks so they just tick it. However he said he is sorry and he has big orders blar blar.. Please that is your f*cking business. Just noticing your customer and saying sorry and I will be there shortly doesn’t cost you any…
* Customer service is ZERO
* Price was high except student special which we didnt order
* Still customer service is not existing.
So if you can wait for 40 mins and served $8.00 student Morespecial pizza and don’t bother with customer service go there but if you want to have a decent customer service at good price and generous topping do never go there!!!

Love this place.
Fantastic food! In fact is now the only pizza I will eat.
Service is A+++. We have been in very late but the staff were super accommodating staying open for us.
Mega slices are super convenient for an on-the-go meal or snack.

Best pizza in Wellington. Easily. My personal favorite is the chicken cranberry but the Garlic and Margarita and Hawaiian are also nice. I have been a lot to Heaven. Takeaways are quick which is good and the staff are nice but I did have issues when I went with a large group as they didn’t seem to cope very well but overall I think the food is great and definitely worth a visit

6 of us came for a late lunch on a Sunday, we ordered quite a bit, a large pizza and some flatbread each. It was’nt cheap.
Everything didn’t arrive too late, but it was more than 30 minutes. When the food did arrive it was mostly cold and there was barely enough room to fit on the table.
Then there were the flies. Lots and lots of flies because of the open doors and windows. Put as off the food for good.

Just ordered a couple of takeaway pizzas from Heaven.
We were really looking forward to a woodfired pizza, but aside from the crispy crust which was delicious,, the rest of the base was soggy and the toppings were bland. (unless the the taste of dried herbs which dominated everything is your cup of tea)
Friendly staff and service, but super disappointing food.

Friendly staff and service, but super disappointing food.
Went with a group of 15 for a celebration, booked in advance. The waitress was very patient in dealing with a large group of people who couldn’t make up their minds. We thought 7 pizzas would be enough, but either they were a bit on the small side or we were particularly hungry, so we ordered another round of 3 more plus a dessert pizza (which I didn’t get a chance to try). I was quite impressed that both rounds all arrived together, although I think some had just been waiting because they had cooled quite a bit, but not yet cold.
Flavourwise, the crusts are light, thin, and not greasy at all. The flip side is that they tended to be a bit dry, but others in the group tended to see this as a plus. I tend to like thicker crust pizzas, so it depends on your tastes. For me, the food was a 6, but for others it was probably an 8, so I’ve given it a 7 here.
The atmosphere was good. Background music wasn’t too loud to prevent discussion and the place seemed lively.
The presentation was just average though. We were given a stack of plates only after asking for them, and then one was dirty and had to be sent back along with a request for more because we were given 12 plates for 15 people.
In the end, the waitress did a great job of keeping us fed and happy, with the food leaving us talking about it on the way home.

The best genuine service, fantastic rustic pizza and very realistic prices. We loved all the recycled and reused materials through out the space. All of these come together to make this wee gem a must in Wellington.

I’m suprised that Heaven pizza has not had any reviews yet. It is yum yum yum yum yum!!! I went recently for a friends birthday, with a group of at least 15. They organised us a large table and were incredibly friendly and efficient with our drinks orders.
There was one waiter in particular that I hope I get again. He was irish, and one of the most friendly people I have ever met. He was so polite and the service was excellent. We ended up giving him a rather large tip in gratitude.
The pizza’s took a wee while to come out, which was understandable due to the sheer amount that had to be made all at once. When they did arrive I was very pleased. My partner and I shared a “meat” and a “mushroom and mozzarella”.
Also, as a handy hint: Go on Wednesday’s where they do a student night, large pizzas only $8. Which is a HUGE bargain.
Was so pleased with the experience. Will definately dine there again.
