After a long 12 hour Milford Coach & Cruise trip we were starving. Instead of getting dinner in Queenstown we decided to head back to Arthurs point and take our chances with food on the way home. First stop was Pedro's house of lamb... no...go they had already closed for the night. Next stop - Rakau. Out of sheer luck we noticed that the lights were still on. So, we quickly parked up and stood in line soaking in the warmth and aromas from the Pizza oven. As we stood at the counter we were told that they were closed, as it was just after 8pm. But to my surprise... Rakau's Pizza Chef, an ABSOLUTE LEGEND offered up a Prawn Pizza that he'd apparently cooked by mistake... This was no mistake, this was his dinner which he selflessly offered to a hungry family. That is true customer service and we'll definitely be singing Rakua's praises and won't forget the Pizza Chef's kindness.More

We were passing and took the opportunity to get take-out pizza and sweet calzone from Rakau. The food was fantastic, and excellent value

Lovely wood fired thin base pizzas with a huge variety of toppings. Friendly helpful chef. Well worth a visit. Seating is mostly outdoors but there is a small area under cover.

We were staying across the road, and on recommendation ordered a couple of pizzas here. So glad we did - absolutely as good as any we have eaten anywhere in the world. Just a pop up shed, but that adds to the charm. We had...the King Salmon and the meat-lovers (not sure that name is correct, but you get it) and both were divine. And quick. Totally recommended, even more so on a rainy day!More

Really enjoyed the fresh and hot pizzas from here during a recent stay. Good recommendation on pizza to have too when first choice was not available. Good advise when we passed by first time as to what time to order by to avoid a longer...wait.More

We live in Arrowtown and have been meaning to get pizzas from Rakau for ages. We finally went out of our way to get take away there and no need to say that we weren't disappointed. Those pizzas are by far the nicest you will...find in the Wakatipu Bassin!More

Saw this place from the roadside and looked it up the next day to take a short trip out there after our visit to Onsen Hot Pools. Now we love a pizza in my family and my two sons are very picky! They exclaimed as...the best pizza they have ever tasted, even better than the well renowned Fantail and Turtle pizzas at Auckland’s “Goodside”. We shared 3 pizzas between 4 and for less than $60 reckon they are great value for pizzas. We tried the pear, walnut and blue cheese and the lamb and mint as well as a classic margarita. All were superb. From order to tucking in less than 10 minutes and saw them being made right in front of us including taking a peak into the oven where you saw the 300 degree wood oven creating that bubbly crispy goodness. Will definitely return. Hats off. Plenty of casual seating including umbrellas for shade and a brazier which wasn’t lit on our visit but that would be great after a ski.More
