In the heart of the city
Where the streets were gritty
There stood a pizzeria and bakery
Run by a man who knew how to mix up the recipe
The scent of baking dough filled the air
Drawing me in without a care
I ordered a pizza, crispy and hot
Topped with basil, mozzarella, and a tomato that's just right
But that wasn't all they had to offer
For the bakery was a treat for any sufferer
Their crusty bread, glazed with honey
Satiated my soul, so tender and sunny
The man behind the counter was a real artist
A Maestro, his skill set was hardest
For if you ever tasted their bagels
You'd never be the same, you'd never need a break
The pizzeria and bakery is a haven
In a world where everything's changing and craving
The taste of their pizza and bread
Is one thing, you'll never forget.
Best bread in all of town, and even further afield. They also have incredible tasty treats from biscuits to sandwiches and a very nice spanakopita when I last visited. Definately worth a try. They also have a great new shop next to a great icecream store! Get in
It's a nice place but I was served a pizza that was just too charred, and inedible without picking large bits of crust off. I commented and was told it was "normal", but they did offer to make another one. I didn't want to be a di*k about it, and didn't want to wait longer, so I just ate the burnt one. The burnt bits and the taste of burnt garlic, and the way it was handled by the staff gets 3 stars from me. I reckon, 1. Don't serve burnt food (that's just not fair, not healthy and not cool), but 2, If you do and someone comments, don't make them feel like they're being unreasonable, and maybe offer them something by way of compensation. It would have gone a long way. Left with a bad taste in my mouth, both literally and metaphorically.
We were hungry, kitchen was closed, we bought the entire cabinet which made our belly very happy. Tried to write a poem like Jon but didn’t manage.
We were able to eat it at the bar next door (as the kitchen was closed there) and it was superb.
We also tried the ciabatta which was out the gate. This place is a fantastic pizzeria but also an amazing bakery !
Sour Bros are the ultimate bros of NZ, danke !!!

Awesome spot, complimented so well by the Teal Lounge upstairs to eat pizza with a nice beer.
The full size pizzas are generally enough for 2 moderate eaters

Really enjoyed the mushroom and salami pizza on Friday night. You can take the pizza to Porridge Watson to eat which is handy as there is not much seating there. They were really busy but they gave me a buzzer thing so I was able to have a drink upstairs while I waited. Fun night!
A beautiful old building outside with delicious food, creative design, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff inside. The pizza, bakery treats and coffee are all delicious. A great place to make your local hang for morning coffee or dinner take out.

Amazing pizza! We ordered two last night, they were huge, but we ate all pieces they were so good! We enjoyed them with a delicious beer next door at Porridge Watsons. If you're in Whanganui - you MUST try SourBros - best bread and pizza by a mile!
Had amazing Pizza and breadsticks and Matcha latte to drink. Really nice and friendly staff, great atmosphere and the bread we bought was like in Germany which is though a big compliment ;)
Cheers from the two germans who spilled matcha latte all over the place and got a new one amazingly, thank you so much, guys :)

Best pizza in town! Delicious sourdough bases with fresh, high quality toppings and a focus on local/authentic ingredients. The vibe is always warm and welcoming, and there is usually a fun assortment of extra treats to choose from like eclairs, cookies, cardamon buns or leftover bread. My favourites are the margarita with salami, or mushroom with extra goats cheese.
