Pizza Presto is a 100% New Zealand owned pizzeria at Shop 6, Snickle Lane, off Fort Lane in Auckland CBD, run by owner and head chef Mitchell Ross. Pizzas are made fresh to order, with delivery and online ordering, plus ready-made boxes to bake at home, catering, event stands and fundraisers.
Dough is the true measure of any pizzeria: the best bases come from a few simple ingredients given time to ferment, and because traditional dough contains no animal products, most pizza starts life vegan before a single topping is chosen. Restraint matters too — well-made pizzas keep toppings light so the base stays crisp instead of turning soggy in the middle. Regulars also know pizza peaks within minutes of the oven, so timing your order is half the pleasure.
That mix of speed and freshness suits a hidden CBD laneway, whether a pizza is headed to a desk, a party or the home oven.
