I've been hesitant to review Minghettis because they're amazing and the chances of me securing a pizza decrease with every positive review and their waxing popularity. Then again, there's no sense in selfishly hoarding the few good things in this New Zealand life and so, I'll somewhat reluctantly share this well kept secret: this is the best pizza in New Zealand.
