Da Vincis Pizzeria has been part of Invercargill's dining landscape since 1978, serving from its Dee Street restaurant in Avenal. The kitchen prepares ingredients daily and builds its pizzas around a pan-style base, its own sauce and a mozzarella blend. Dine-in tables keep it firmly in restaurant territory, while takeaway and delivery preserve the practical neighbourhood appeal that has sustained it for decades.
The core range is rich in familiar crowd-pleasers, but each section offers its own direction. Hawaiian and meat lovers cover the classics, while chicken appears in traditional, Cajun, barbecue and butter-chicken combinations. House-named pizzas such as Da Vincis Special and Leonardo's give regulars distinctive mixed-topping choices rather than limiting the menu to generic categories.
Other pizzas travel across a broader set of flavours. Hot Mexican adds heat, Four Seasons divides several combinations across the base, and Fishermans provides a seafood option. Vegetarian Italian and tropical recipes give meat-free diners more than a plain cheese pizza, while cheese-led combinations are available for anyone who wants the sauce, base and mozzarella character to remain the focus.
Sides turn a pizza order into a fuller shared meal, and dessert moves through chocolate or strawberry mousse, brownie, cheesecake and a cookie-caramel option. Vegetarian pizzas and gluten-free bases make group ordering more flexible, though individual dietary needs are best discussed directly with the restaurant. Whether eaten in the Avenal dining room or ordered home, the menu remains centred on generously topped pizzas with a recognisable house style.
