About Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut Karaka Harbourside serves the Karaka community from 2/47 Harbourside Drive, part of a network of more than 100 Pizza Hut stores across New Zealand. The brand's Kiwi story goes back to September 1974, when the country's first Pizza Hut opened in New Lynn, Auckland — and the promise has stayed much the same since: quality, taste and excitement, built on freshness.

Everything here starts with the base. Dough is made from scratch in store every day, and every pizza, side and dessert is made to order under strict guidelines. Diners can pick their favourite style — New Zealand's beloved Deep Pan, the light and airy San Francisco Style Sourdough, Thin 'N Crispy, the cheese-filled Original Stuffed Crust, or a gluten free base — then load it with toppings they love, from beef, cabanossi and ham to chicken and juicy pineapple.

Ordering is simple through the website or the Pizza Hut app, with pickup and delivery available and Hut Lovers deals for regulars. Whether it's a family favourite like Hawaiian or a loaded Super Supreme, the focus is on great food, friendly service and an easy experience every time.

Pizza Hut Karaka Harbourside: Fresh Dough Daily and the Pizzas Kiwis Love

For more than fifty years, Pizza Hut has been part of how New Zealanders celebrate, unwind and feed a hungry household, and the Karaka Harbourside store at 2/47 Harbourside Drive carries that tradition for Auckland's southern suburbs. It belongs to a network of over 100 Pizza Hut stores nationwide, all working to the same simple brief: quality, taste and excitement — with 'fresh' as the key.

A Kiwi story that began in 1974

The first New Zealand Pizza Hut opened its doors in New Lynn, Auckland, in September 1974. More than a hundred stores later, the goal remains what it always was: that nearly everyone, anywhere, can enjoy a tasty Pizza Hut pizza. Behind the counter, that means motivated team members kept up to date with the latest customer service trends, and a constant loop of feedback — market surveys and customer comments feed into everything from food quality and order accuracy to speed, cleanliness and hospitality. The brand never quite stands still, and that's the point.

It all starts with the base

Freshness here isn't a slogan. All Pizza Hut dough is made from scratch, in store, every single day — yes, daily — and every pizza, side and dessert is made to order under strict guidelines, with ingredients sourced from quality suppliers who must meet stringent standards of excellence.

From that fresh dough come the styles Kiwis know well:

  • **Deep Pan** — New Zealand's favourite deep dish crust, baked to golden perfection: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.
  • **San Francisco Style Sourdough** — light, crispy and airy, made from scratch and stretched by hand for an authentic San Francisco style pizza.
  • **Thin 'N Crispy** — the thinner crust baked to crispy perfection, so the toppings do the talking.
  • **The Original Stuffed Crust** — the 'extra playful pizza you eat backwards', with a ring of melted cheese baked right into a pizzeria-style crust.
  • **Gluten Free** — a base made from rice flour and maize starch, available in a large size (check the allergen page for the fine print).

Choosing Pan, Classic or Thin 'N Crispy comes at no extra charge; a surcharge applies for Stuffed Crust, Gluten Free and XL bases.

The pizzas Kiwis keep coming back for

Some things never change. New Zealand's top four favourites, as Pizza Hut puts it, have always been — and will probably always be — the Meat Lovers, Pepperoni, Hawaiian and the Super Supreme. Great flavours made from the best ingredients. Around those classics sits a wide range of toppings: tasty beef, cabanossi, ham, chicken and juicy pineapple, to name a few. Customisation is encouraged — pile on extra toppings (up to a maximum of seven to ten depending on the pizza, so it cooks to perfection) or remove anything you'd rather skip.

Ordering in, picking up, feeding a crowd

Ordering is built to be quick and easy. The website works on any device — mobile, desktop or tablet — and the Pizza Hut app puts ordering at the touch of a finger, letting you customise your pizza to your heart's content. Joining Hut Lovers unlocks exclusive online-only deals, and coupons in all their forms — printed, emailed or web offers — are honoured for pickup and delivery alike.

A few practical notes: delivery requires a minimum order of $20 including the delivery fee and isn't available in all areas or at all times; drivers carry no cash. Ordering for a big gathering? More than 10 pizzas needs at least an hour's notice so each one gets the love and care it deserves. And there's a pickup promise — if the in-store price for the exact same pickup order is lower than what you paid online, the difference is gladly refunded.

For Karaka locals and anyone passing through Karaka Harbourside, it adds up to a dependable neighbourhood pizzeria: dough made fresh every morning, the classics done the way New Zealand has loved them since 1974, sides and desserts made to order, and an easy path from craving to hot box on the table. Order online, grab the app, or join Hut Lovers — dinner is sorted.
