6 Thames Street, Ohakune, Ruapehu

Iconic La Pizzeria

La Pizzeria isn't merely a restaurant—it's an Ohakune institution that has delighted locals and visitors alike since 1986. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of local tradition and continue the legacy of this beloved establishment.

The street-front restaurant was added to the existing 105-year-old house in the 1980s and from there, the story began. La Pizzeria is a household name in Ohakune with a reputation for delicious pizzas and great service. This is an opportunity for someone to hit the ground running and procure for themselves a proven business model with generous accommodation in the North Island's most popular mountain town.

Whether seated inside or out, the restaurant has an instantly inviting atmosphere and its distinctive eclectic style that its regular patrons just love. The 43 sqm (more or less) restaurant space can provide for approximately 30 seated diners although as many will know the majority of customers enjoy the takeaway option.

As well as the commercial kitchen and customer amenities, there is some generous owner accommodation. This comprises two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, all housed within the original building. With lots of character features including high ceilings and decorative moldings, there is an opportunity here to further enhance these spaces to create something really special. The property is commercially zoned.

Located at the heart of the Junction just opposite the railway station, this neighbourhood is home to some best events on the calendar including Mardis Gras, Carrot Carnival, Blues and Roots Festival, and Retro Day. There is no denying that this restaurant has great visibility.
