Bee Pizzeria is a Christchurch pizza brand with two locations — Papanui at 479 Papanui Road and Church Corner at 10A Yaldhurst Road, Sockburn. Both shops specialise in handcrafted, oven-baked pizzas made with fresh ingredients, a crispy base, rich tomato sauce, and generous toppings. All meat used is 100% Halal.
The menu spans classic and loaded pizzas — from Margherita and Pepperoni to Meat Lovers and Chicken Cranberry — alongside sides, pasta, and chicken wings. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available across both locations, making Bee Pizzeria genuinely inclusive for groups with different dietary requirements.
Beyond everyday dine-in and takeaway, Bee Pizzeria offers catering services and private party packages, suited to everything from office functions and weddings to birthdays and family gatherings. Custom catering packages are available. Online ordering is available for both locations through separate order links.
Bee Pizzeria has established itself across two Christchurch locations — Papanui and Church Corner in Sockburn — with a clear identity: handcrafted, oven-baked pizza using fresh ingredients, 100% Halal meat, and a menu that covers everyone at the table.
The brand's consistency across both sites is one of its strengths. Whether you head to 479 Papanui Road or 10A Yaldhurst Road in Sockburn, you're getting the same handcrafted dough, tangy tomato base, perfectly melted cheese, and generous toppings — baked to golden perfection.
The pizza menu anchors everything. Classics like Margherita and Pepperoni sit alongside more loaded options: the Meat Lovers stacks on the toppings, while the Chicken Cranberry brings a creamy, distinctive flavour that sets it apart from the standard pizza menu. Every pizza is oven-baked, with a crispy base that holds up to the toppings.
Beyond pizza, the menu extends to chicken wings, pasta, and sides — enough to build a full meal rather than just a single item. Church Corner's about section also mentions salads and drinks to complete the spread.
Dietary requirements are well covered: vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available, and all meat is 100% Halal certified — making Bee Pizzeria a genuine option for groups with varied dietary needs.
Both locations offer dine-in alongside takeaway, with a casual, welcoming atmosphere suited to solo meals, family nights, and catch-ups with friends. But Bee Pizzeria goes further than the average pizza shop: catering services and private party packages are available for events of all sizes.
The catering menu is positioned for office functions, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries, with custom packages available to suit different group sizes and preferences. For anyone planning an event where food matters, it's worth getting in touch directly.
The two locations keep different hours, which is worth knowing before you go. The Papanui branch (479 Papanui Road) runs Monday–Tuesday 3pm–9pm, Wednesday and Sunday 12pm–9pm, Thursday 12pm–10pm, and Friday–Saturday 12pm–11pm.
Church Corner (10A Yaldhurst Road, Sockburn) runs later: Monday–Tuesday 3pm–midnight, Wednesday–Thursday and Sunday 12pm–midnight, and Friday–Saturday 12pm–2am — making it one of the later-closing pizza options in its part of Christchurch.
Online ordering is available for both locations through separate order links.
