Pizza Night in the Gardens

Longbush Cottage + Roving Pizza

Soft & crunchy wood-fired Napoletana pizza...

🍕 Wood-fired Napoletana pizza, garden bar, and good company 🍕

Free, relaxed, and very delicious. Once a month through the warmer months we host Pizza Night at Longbush Cottage with our friends at Roving Pizza — masters of wood-fired Napoletana pies made with long, slow-fermented dough and top-notch ingredients. Pair yours with a glass from our licensed bar and settle in among the flowers.

Pizza Night at Longbush has become a favourite way to unwind and connect with local friends and family — authentic, easy, and outdoors. We’re a short drive from Martinborough, Carterton, and Greytown.
