Bomba: Pizza, Gelato… And vino! — Restaurant in Banks Peninsula Community

We stumbled on this gem and were totally blown away by the experience. Two people served us - a very friendly staff member and the owner. We asked for recommendations on wine and the owner was quick to share his experience and knowledge. We sat down and were a bit cold so the male staff member quickly put a heater on for us. Nothing was too much for them. The pizza we ate was incredible. It was fresh, cooked to perfection and was served to us within 10 minutes. The wine that accompanied went down a treat. The gelato was smooth and delicious. The atmosphere was a cool eclectic vibe, casual but cool. We thanked the owner after for our experience and it was evident that he puts his heart into the food he prepares. He was passionate about what he does - something that is a rare find. Thank you for having us. We will...

We finally got a chance to visit Bomba and try the full menu with pizza and pasta last night. What a treat!

The pizza is easily my favorite in the Chch area - but I have a weakness for neapolitan-style. The homemade Italian sausage was flavorful and delicious. The vegetarian calzone (with added olives) was a delight. The dough was perfectly chewy, sauce was on point.

We also had the mac 'n' cheese with jalapenos, bacon, and flamin' hot cheetos on top - it was just too good to pass up, and lived up to the hype of its constituent ingredients.

The owner is such a lovely and genuine human being, and is a joy to be around. His passion for what he does is evident, and his focus on making sure patrons have a good time and great food makes the experience even better!

We can't wait...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bomba: Pizza, Gelato and Café in Lyttelton, New Zealand and I have to say, it was an extraordinary experience. The pizzas are genuine Italian, made by an Italian chef, and they are absolutely delicious. The toppings were fresh and the dough was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere of the café was also spot on, it made me feel like I was on a trip to an Italian seaside to a pizzeria loved by locals. The café also offers delicious gelato that is made in-house, which was a perfect finish to the meal. The service was also top-notch, with the staff being friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend Bomba: Pizza, Gelato and Café to anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. It's truly a hidden gem...
