Now this a lovely authentic Italian joint serving very nice pizzas. Its got nice and welcoming interiors and friendly service. Definitely recommended if in the area.
I really want to give Spags a higher rating, because they have for many years been a really solid Pizzeria. Quality-wise, I’d rate them a 4 – their pizza’s aren’t the best in the world, but they are pretty good. Unique crusts, nice finely chopped toppings, and a massive step up from the Pizza Huts and Domino’s Pizzas of the world in flavour and quality.That said, pricing has crept up to $14 for large pizzas with the Uno card (up from $12), which makes it a slightly worse deal. Without the Uno card their prices are even higher. I’d generally take Spagalimis over Hell for quality, but there’s not a lot in it.Pro tip, Spag’s Chips are identical in flavour to McCain Original Fries. If you’re penny pinching takeaways, buy them frozen from the supermarket and stick the oven on when you order. Yeehaw. (Sorry Spags, but you charge too much for them)
Ah, Spags – it’s been a while! It was time to re-visit an old friend in a city where so little from my youth remains. Although, as sadly the Vic Street site is moribund, it was the Church Corner franchise we visited today. The restaurant is dimly lit with rustic decor – lovely heavy wooden benches and tables, candles etc. They’ve created a pleasant atmosphere. We tried three small pizzas – chilli prawn, seafood and a surf ‘n’ turf number. The small size is about, at best, a bread and butter plate ($12.) The chilli prawn was with cocktail shrimps and spinach. The spinach topped the pizza and so was burnt black. The other two were nice enough but that’s all. At this price though you expect more. I can’t favourably compare Spags product with Hells et al who are delivering pretty much the same at much lower prices. Yes, the dine-in does add another dimension but that in itself is not enough. Spags was an essential element to 80’s Chch. They lead the charge to change our sensibility about affordable eating out. Their relevance in 2015 is a moot point.
Very very busy place! Quite loud but I guess that’s okay for the younger ones and families. Wouldn’t recommend it to people who hate loud places. Best salmon pizza I’ve ever had!
This was our first visit to this South Island restaurant chain. Our friends had dined there several times before. The pizza’s were very nice and filling with good sized portions of toppings.The staff were very patient , whilst us visitors pondered over the choices available.We were suitable full when we wobbled out later feeling like Mr. Blooby
Wonderful dining experience at Spagalimis tonight! Our waitress was a sweetie, very friendly without being overbearing. We never had to leave our table to ask for anything or wait around for service. We had a nice seat by the window and the place was quiet which made it a very relaxing place to eat. My Margherita pizza was one of the best I have ever had (and I have had a lot of Margherita pizzas). Very happy we made the decision to eat here.
Great service and really amazing chicken and cranberry pizza– highly recommended.Upon walking into the location, it’s very dark and deserted looking, as you have to navigate your way to the very back of the restaurant to be greeted. There’s nothing wrong with some ambiance (I love the candles!) but the pendant lights are far too dimmed down, the single bulb inside glowing orange and not providing much light at all. I think it’d be nice if the rest of the restaurant could reflect how bright and cheerful the great staff are.
