The Cow is known as a “Pizza & Spaghetti House.” We took the advice of a 2016 Yelp reviewer and ordered their garlic bread (NZ$9.50, US$6.30). For our dinner, we went with the Bolognese Pizza (NZ$31.90, US$21.16). Checkout their menu here for more options.
The Cow Pizza to Not Order
I would like you to also take the advice of that 2016 Yelp reviewer and get that bread! It was so good! After starting with that we had high expectations for our pizza. Unfortunately it was a let down. The crust was great, but the bolognese topping was just too much sauce and meat. I really love pizza, its frequently been one of the things I use in introductions and posts where I’m introducing who I am. I cannot NOT recommend the bolognese pizza enough. But seriously, get that soft and fluffy bread!
The staff was super friendly and we would have loved to give them another shot and tried a different pizza, but we just didn’t have enough time in Wanaka. The Cow also has a location in Queenstown if you’d like to give it a try when you’re there.
The Cow Pizza & Spaghetti House is a little tricky to find, but we made it there with the below address! Also, since the area has a few other shops, restaurants and bars, there was a good amount of parking available.
Address: 33 Ardmore St, Wanaka 9305

I’ve been going there for 25 years just to get that boly pizza. It’s been on the menu forever for a reason. And yes the bread is also the bomb.

Maybe we were there on an off day or they had a new cook? Either way, I’d love to give their pizza a second go.
