The Bicycle Thief

The Bicycle Thief Sample our authentic Italian menu utilising traditional Italian products and recipes paired with beautiful fresh New Zealand-grown produce. Ciao.

We love to cater for vegans, vegetarians and those with a low gluten diet using Angel Food cheese and gluten-free pasta and pizza bases when required. We have two sister restaurants in New Zealand. One is Giovanni's Restaurant & Pizzeria on Te Ngae Road in Rotorua, and the other (the little sister) is Mamma Rosa Pizzeria on Pukaki Street in Rotorua. We serve the same divine pizzas in our sister restaurants, so if you're travelling up north you can still satisfy yourself with our fabulous food :) See you there!

COULD YOUR CHILD’S COOKING TAKE THEM ALL THE WAY TO THE TAJ MAHAL?

Imagine your young chef standing in front of one of the most famous wonders in the world… THE TAJ MAHAL! 🤩

Junior Chefs of Aotearoa is searching for young cooks aged 8–13!

And this year, there’s an incredible adventure waiting for our winners:

🕌 Visit the TAJ MAHAL in India
🇮🇳 Explore incredible Indian heritage, culture and food
🏨 One week’s accommodation for a family of FOUR
💰 $2,000 CASH PRIZE

But first… they’ll have to COOK! 🔥

Your child doesn’t need to be the best cook in New Zealand.

WHO HATES CHOCOLATE?! 👀
Apparently, these people actually exist.
We haven’t met one personally… but David Attenborough is probably working on a documentary about them. 😂
If you’re a proud chocolate hater, please come forward and drop a comment below.

This is a safe space. ❤️
We promise to treat you with kindness, dignity and respect.

You’re still doing better than people who willingly put pineapple on pizza.
