Our Food

Whether you are looking for the best pizzeria or the most authentic Mediterranean cuisine, you will find what you are looking for at Al Forno. Our menu includes Italian and Mediterranean favourites as well as a few surprises. Our chefs add unique twists to many of the dishes while staying true to the traditional Italian style of cooking that we love so much.

It isn’t just about the food, though. Italian dining is also about long conversations and being together with family and friends.

Wines and Cocktails

An Italian meal wouldn’t be complete without a glass or two of wine. We have worked hard to make our wine list stand out from other restaurants with an extensive list which includes varieties from the best regions in Italy and New Zealand. We are passionate about Italian wine, but it is hard to go past the quality that is produced right here on our doorstep. Whatever you prefer, we’ll have a bottle to suit your tastes. If cocktails are more your style you will find all the classics such as Cosmopolitan, Appletini, Martini, Negroni, and The Godfather. We also have beer, cider, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Takeaway Pizza and Pasta

Are you looking for takeaway pasta in the Takapuna area? Do you want to order a restaurant-quality, Mediterranean-style, woodfired pizza? If so, you are going to love our takeaway menu.

Every option on our menu is cooked with the same care and ingredients as if you were sitting at a table in our restaurant. We have a wide range of pizza options to choose from, including calzone, all made using our delicious homemade pizza sauce.

If it’s pasta or risotto you are looking for, you’ll also find a great selection to choose from: chicken and mushroom risotto; fettuccine alfredo; gnocchi; lasagne; linguine al forno; penne pollo, risotto marinara; and much more.

We have sides, desserts, and beverages available for takeaway too.

Dietary Requirements

At Al Forno, we have tailored our menus to cater to as many dietary requirements as we can, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you if you have any special requirements.

If you have food allergies or sensitivities, we have a comprehensive allergy list that will show you all the ingredients in each of our dishes. We are more than willing to offer an alternative option so you can safely enjoy something you love to eat – Just ask us!

Low gluten options are also available on our menu. You will see them marked with GF for low gluten and GFA to indicate a low gluten alternative is available on request. Many of the options marked as GF or GFA do not include gluten-containing ingredients. However, pizzas are a popular choice on our menu, and we use flour to make the bases of our pizzas. Therefore, traces of flour and gluten are in the air. As a result, low gluten is a more accurate description of what we can offer.

If you are vegetarian or vegan, you will also find delicious options on our menu. Again, we label them for convenience, with V indicating a vegetarian dish, VA indicating there is a vegetarian option, and VG indicating the dish is vegan.
