Martino'z Pizza Onehunga is the local branch of Martino'z Pizza, an Indian-founded pizza chain now operating in New Zealand, based at 166 Trafalgar Street in Onehunga, Auckland. The brand describes itself as bringing a "flavor revolution" from what it calls India's favorite pizza chain, built around indulgent, extra-cheesy pizzas alongside a wider menu of garlic bread, pastas, tacos and dessert.
Martino'z Pizza was founded by Bobby Thakkar (Founder & CEO) and Alka Thakkar (Co-founder & Managing Director). The idea took shape during the COVID-19 lockdown, when Bobby spent months researching and refining pizza-making, before the pair launched the first Martino'z Pizza outlet in Ahmedabad, India, in 2021. Drawing on Bobby's 20+ years in the food industry and Alka's operational leadership, the brand grew from a single store to more than 40 locations across India, with the Onehunga store part of its international expansion.
Orders can be placed online through the Martino'z Pizza website, with customers able to select the Onehunga store directly, track their order live, and earn rewards through the Martino'z Rewards programme. Android and iOS apps are noted as coming soon for online ordering.
Martino'z Pizza Onehunga, at 166 Trafalgar Street in Onehunga, Auckland, is the local branch of a pizza brand that started in India and is now expanding internationally. The brand bills its arrival in New Zealand as a "flavor revolution," built on the idea of indulgent, extra-cheesy pizzas made with premium ingredients.
Martino'z Pizza was founded by Bobby Thakkar, who serves as Founder and CEO, and Alka Thakkar, Co-founder and Managing Director. The concept took shape during the COVID-19 lockdown, when Bobby spent months researching and refining the craft of pizza-making. In 2021, the pair opened the first Martino'z Pizza outlet in Ahmedabad, India, drawing on Bobby's more than 20 years of experience in the food industry and Alka's strategic leadership of operations.
What began as a single store has since grown into a chain of more than 40 locations across India, with the brand now setting its sights on international markets — including this Onehunga store in Auckland. The founders describe the brand as more than a pizza chain, framing it as a movement built around bold flavours, premium ingredients and a consistent commitment to quality.
While pizza is the headline act, Martino'z Pizza's menu extends further, with signature garlic bread, creamy pastas and crispy tacos rounding out the savoury side, and a decadent choco lava cake for dessert. Everything is described as crafted with fresh ingredients, aiming to deliver a full dining experience rather than pizza alone.
Customers can order online through the Martino'z Pizza website by selecting the Onehunga store, with the order placed and prepared for delivery or pickup from the Trafalgar Street location. The ordering process includes live tracking, so customers can follow their food from kitchen to door, and a Martino'z Rewards programme for regular customers. Multiple payment methods are supported for online orders, and dedicated Android and iOS apps are in the works for an even more convenient ordering experience.
Martino'z Pizza also takes franchise enquiries for anyone interested in opening their own location, reflecting the brand's continued growth ambitions beyond its Indian roots. For the Onehunga community, the store brings a taste of a fast-growing international pizza brand, with its emphasis on bold, extra-cheesy pizzas and a menu built to go well beyond the pizza box.
Whether it's a pizza night in, a quick pickup, or trying the choco lava cake for something sweet to finish, Martino'z Pizza Onehunga offers a straightforward online ordering experience from its Trafalgar Street base.
