Heaven Woodfire Pizza

Pizza Place. Very unique place made completely of recycled items =)

Location: 247 Cuba Street, Wellington.

Price Range: $8-$21.5

Portion Size: Standard

Service: The service was amazing! Very very friendly staff! The manager even came around to ask us how our meal was going and started talking to us about how he made the place out of recycled items etc.
He even got his staff member to take a photo of him when we got her to take a group photo of us haha.

Pizzas

All the pizzas were thin crust which weren't very filling but they were very crunchy/crisp which was really good. Woodfire pizza and was not burnt, they did the crusts/base well.

  Vegetarian - $21.50  (Large. Small - $13.50)

Taste: This had a mix of many ingredients: Aubergine/eggplant, capsicum, mushroom, sun-dried tomato, onion, mozzarella, pine nuts, olives and oregano.

Although the list is vast, I couldn't taste alot of the ingredients. The most striking taste in this pizza was the aubergine which was very salty and sour. Overall, it was quite salty.

 JR: 6.6/10

Chicken Cranberry - $21.50  (Large. Small - $14.50)

Taste: Smoked chicken, cranberry, camembert and mozzarella. Not much chicken but the cranberry flavour was nice. Would be good if there was abit more of each. Couldn't tell that there was camembert cheese in it though.

Margherita - $8.00  (Large. Small - $14.00)

Taste: This was quite disappointing. Tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil and parmesan cheese.

Hardly any basil and cheese. It was all tomato and very dry.

 JR: 3.5/10

Marinara - $21.50  (Large. Small - $43.50)

Taste: Prawns, calamari, parsley, garlic and mozzarella. This was probably one of my favourites of the night.

Tasted like very nice, crispy garlic bread with seafood. The prawns were reasonable size and I was glad they weren't small shrimps. Minus points that some of the prawns had shell on it still.

Desserts

  Tiramisu- $7.50 

Taste: This was different to what I'm used to. It had a lot of liquid which was unusual.... similar to iced coffee. 

The manager told us it wasn't suppose to be that much but that may be cause they heard my friend complain about it.. haha. The coffee taste of the soaked sponge fingers at the bottom was very strong.

 JR: 6.5/10

Cheesecake Lime White Chocolate - $7.50 

Taste: I am a big cheesecake fan and this definately did not disappoint. It had a very smooth texture which melted in your mouth. Very creamy which can become quite rich but this can be compensated with the french vanilla ice cream it is served with. Can't taste any white chocolate but it was DELICIOUS!

Apparently the person who makes this won an award for this recipe.

 JR: 8.8/10

General Comments: Quite a unique place. It was amazing to see how everything was made out of recycled items! (I will attach the photos of some examples).

The manager was very friendly and talked to us heaps. I have a suspicion that he heard some of our conversations about the food and that I write food blogs... hmmm...
It was very warm (great for a really chilly night) due to the giant woodfire/burner that cooks the pizza.
I think the price of the pizzas is a little bit overpriced because there wasn't much fillings on the pizza but not too bad when you are sharing with a group of friends.

Overall JR: 7/10

Enigma Cafe

Cafe. Exterior did not reflect the interior. Was pleasently suprised.

Location: 128 Courtenay Place, Wellington Central, Wellington

Price Range: $5-$28ish

Portion Size: Big

Service: Quite friendly

Chicken Burger - $15.50 

Taste: Big portion! But taste was... interesting.

The chips were good, nice and crispy. The chicken burger was average though.
There was brie cheese, apricots, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber.
The bun was not toasted which I think would make it alot better. The apricots gave it a sweet touch but I didn't particularly like it. Overall it was ok.

Steak sandwich - $18.50(?)

Taste: Friend had this and it looked really good. VERY big portion so have it if you're hungry.

Apparently quite good however, it was suppose to be "medium-raw" but looked more "well-done".

 JR: N/A

NO PHOTO

Iced Moccha - $7(?)

Taste: Now this was an experience. COMPLETELY different to what I'm used to. This was more like a thickshake. Very very thick that even the straw didn't work.

Tasted alright though, probably be sickening after awhile I would think.

 JR: 6.5/10

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Gelato - $4.50

Taste: Pretty much a peanut butter ice cream. Very nice but quite small portion. 

There were little bits of peanuts in it which gave it a bit of texture.

Choice of either a container or waffle cone.

General Comments: I have always pass by this place but never decided to walk in, nice place though. There is an inside and outside option to dine. Quite a nice menu with mid-range price. There was a big range of desserts that looked really good which I am tempted to try. They also have a selection of gelatos with unusual flavours. I forsee future visits.

Overall JR: 7/10
