ABOUT US

Plaza Pizzeria was founded in 2009 by Nicolas Haidamous. Inspired by his love of Mediterranean pizza and his dream of bringing the Lebanese culinary experience to the suburbs of Wellington. Nicolas was known for his witty and proud personality, cheeky smile and willingness to share a joke at any given moment. He was always up for a conversation with anyone he’d meet. Today Buba Cafe (pronounced Boo-Bah) is a heartfelt tribute to Nicolas who affectionately nicknamed his partner Anita ‘Buba’, short for habuba which in Arabic means ‘Darling’. We renamed it to honor his memory and continue the legacy and tradition he left behind. Every Pizza is made with love, just how Nicolas liked it.
