Roy Krishna opened the scoring just before half time, before teenage whizkid Daniel Arzani came off the bench in the second half to spark the homeside.
The 18-year-old set up a Ross McCormack double to lift City to third on the A-League table.
Krishna's opener saw City leave the pitch at halftime to raucous boos from the miserable 5,207-strong crowd.
The Fijian capitalised on a moment of indecision from City captain Michael Jakobsen, judged the bouncing ball better than the Dane, winning their one-on- one and chipping over the keeper.
Having lost the lead, Wellington responded substituting on Nathan Burns for his first A-League match in three years.
City required a goal-line clearance from Harrison Delbridge as the game entered injury time, with Goran Paracki and Michael McGlinchey having late efforts blocked.
Instead, Arzani's invention and McCormack's ninth and 10th goals of the season brought City three much-needed points.
The Phoenix remain bottom of the table with just one win, six points behind Brisbane.
