Ma Va Pizza is a pizza restaurant at 8 Victoria Road in Devonport, on the North Shore of Auckland. It has a Google rating of 4.8 from 34 reviews. It has Italian-style classic pizzas made with quality ingredients and dough that is slow-fermented before it is cooked at high heat.
A good pizza is judged on its base, so a crust that is light and airy with a little char at the edges is a sign of careful cooking. Simple toppings often show the quality of the dough and the sauce best, so a plain margherita is a fair test of any pizzeria. Pizza is best eaten soon after it leaves the oven, when the cheese is still soft and the base is crisp. Regulars often ask what came out of the oven most recently and order a pizza that has just been made.
For a classic pizza on Victoria Road in Devonport, this pizzeria is one where the base and the toppings are the main things to judge.
