The Orchard Thieves Pizza in Tauriko is a neighbourhood destination for gourmet pizza and much more, located at 204 Taurikura Dr in Tauranga. The kitchen turns out freshly made pizzas crafted with premium ingredients, spanning classic options through to inventive topping combinations — something, as the team puts it, for every pizza lover.
Pizza is only the beginning. The menu also covers juicy burgers packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavour, ribs for bigger appetites, and a line-up of tasty sides such as crispy fries, onion rings and loaded wedges. To finish, there are creamy, perfectly sweet shakes — ideal as a meal-ender or a treat on their own — along with desserts and drinks.
The store leans into generous portions and wallet-friendly pricing, aiming to deliver high-quality food without breaking the bank. You can dine in or take out, order online for pickup or delivery, and the Orchard Thieves app adds live order tracking plus points on every purchase.
There's something quietly reassuring about a good local pizza joint: a menu you can read in one sitting, food that arrives hot, and portions that don't leave anyone at the table hungry. The Orchard Thieves Pizza in Tauriko works to that formula. Sitting at 204 Taurikura Dr in Tauranga, it's part of the Orchard Thieves Pizza family of stores, and it follows the brand's playbook closely — freshly made gourmet pizza, backed up by burgers, ribs, sides, desserts and drinks.
Pizza is the heart of it. Every pizza is freshly made and crafted with premium ingredients to deliver flavour in every bite, with the menu running from the classics through to more inventive topping combinations. Whether you're a traditionalist after a familiar favourite or someone who likes to see what the kitchen can do with a topping list, the range is designed to have something for every pizza lover. It's a menu that works just as well for a Friday treat as for a midweek feed.
The kitchen doesn't stop when the pizzas are in the oven. The burgers are juicy and bursting with flavour, packed with fresh ingredients — the kind of burger that can go head-to-head with the pizza on any given night. For bigger appetites, ribs sit on the menu alongside the pizza and burgers, making this a genuine multi-option dinner stop rather than a one-dish shop.
No pizza night is complete without the extras, and the sides menu covers the classics: crispy fries, onion rings and loaded wedges. Pair one of those tasty sides with a burger or a pizza and, in the brand's own words, you have a meal that's hard to top. They're built for sharing — or for turning a single pizza into a proper spread for the table.
For the finish, the shakes are the headline act — creamy and perfectly sweet, recommended both as a meal-ender and as a treat in their own right. Desserts and drinks round out the menu, so an entire order — mains, sides, sweets and something cold to sip — can happen in one place.
The store is set up for however you want to eat. Dine in or take out, or order online for pickup or delivery — the website lets you choose ASAP or a scheduled time, so you can line dinner up around the school run, a work shift or movie night. All prices are in NZD and GST inclusive, which keeps checkout simple and free of surprises.
The Orchard Thieves app takes it a step further. Available on Google Play and the App Store, it lets you browse the menu with ease and track your orders live, and it earns you points on every purchase made through it. If Tauriko becomes your regular, those points add up. There's also an Offers page on the website worth a look before you order — deals change, and it costs nothing to check. And if you have a question for this store specifically, the contact page lets you send a message and name your store, so it goes to the right kitchen.
The promise here is gourmet flavour without the fine-dining bill. The menu's value, as the brand puts it, shines through in generous portions and wallet-friendly pricing — high-quality food that doesn't break the bank. That combination of hearty servings and honest pricing is exactly what you want from your local: food you can feed the family on a Tuesday and still feel good about ordering again on Friday.
Whether you're a local on Taurikura Dr or passing through Tauranga, The Orchard Thieves Tauriko makes an easy case: fresh pizza, a proper burger, a pile of wedges and a shake to finish — dine in or take out, and you'll find yourself coming back for more.
