Tucked into Welcome Bay at 252 Welcome Bay Road, this branch of The Orchard Thieves Pizza is part of a growing chain spread across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, built around a simple promise: gourmet pizza and more, without the premium price tag.
The heart of the menu is pizza, freshly made and crafted with premium ingredients. Orchard Thieves Pizza covers both ends of the spectrum, offering classic pizza options for those who know what they like, alongside more inventive topping combinations for anyone after something different. The brand describes its aim as delivering flavour in every bite, whichever style of pizza you land on.
The menu doesn't stop there. Orchard Thieves Pizza also serves a range of burgers, described as juicy, packed with fresh ingredients, and bursting with flavour. Pair one with a side — crispy fries, onion rings, or loaded wedges are all on offer — and it rounds out into a full meal in its own right, not just an add-on to the pizza menu.
For dessert, or simply a treat on its own, the store serves creamy, perfectly sweet shakes. It's a small but deliberate addition that lets a visit to Orchard Thieves Pizza go beyond a single pizza order, into a full meal from starter to finish.
A recurring theme across Orchard Thieves Pizza's own description of itself is value: generous portions and wallet-friendly pricing, aimed at customers who want high-quality food without breaking the bank.
