Avenue Pizza in Tauranga

This is some of the BEST PIZZA I have ever had. I spent the last 6 weeks touring with a band throughout Australia and New Zealand and nothing even comes close. The ingredients are top notch and the people behind this place ACTUALLY CARE about what they are doing!A quick word about the fast food pizza chains… After you eat their (Dominoespizza, you will be filled with sadness and regret. After you eat one of these pies, you are guaranteed to be filled with hope and love.TLDR: This place is great. EAT HERE.

Really great pizza, just what we wanted. 5 Stars Recommend

Best pizza in New zealand.

THE best pizza in Tauranga! I fell in love w this pizza when they were part of 13th Ave Bowling Alley. Convinced my friend to get a take away on a stormy night to go with our movie at home. We were NOT disappointed! Simple toppings with the an amazing base and really tasty. Delicious and worth every bite x I will be back again for sure

Awesome pizza. Simple with heaps of flavour and quality ingredients. Will definitely be back.

Best slice in the bay, flipping great pizza.Go try it you will not be disappointed 👍🏼

Best pizza Iv had in NZ. I never write reviews but this deserves one for sure!

Easily the best pizza anywhere remotely close to Tauranga. Its by far the best weve had in New Zealand. New York style is the way to go, forget neopolitan, forget Greek style. This is the bees knees, everybody knows the rules.

Simply the best dun dun da da da

Awesome new pizza joint at the mount. The garlic bread rocks as well.

Best Pizza you can get in Tauranga! My partner can only eat dairy free, but we share a big one and it is the best fake cheese I have ever eaten! Absolutly recommended!

The mushroom and cheese pizza is to die for! Very friendly people and top notch pizza. Worth the drive,

This is Taurangas best kept secret. Fabulous pizza! We will no longer drive all the way to Sals, this is just as good. Friendly staff too!

Real gutted . . $38 for a half n half pizza (gutted I didnt take pics now but see the previous review for an ideameetball/pesto and $32 for a pepperoni. SERIOUSLY disappointed. Sad part is, these could have been really good, but the lack of topping and care distributing the topping let these pizzas down. These are expensive pizzas and this experience made me embarrassed for recommending it to friends.

Pizza tasted nice but when you order a meatball pizza for 35 dollars you kinda expect more toppings on it not just half a hand full of meat scattered across a big pizza and quite im honestly feel quite ripped off

Delicious fantastic bread delicious tomato sauce, mmmmmm

This pizza is the best in tauranga, hidden Gem 💎

Dang, the staff is so awesome and the food is is so great that they decided to add a bowling alley to it! Quality!

The pizza here is epic! Such a rare find, and will definitely be back for some more of those ranch fries! :)

Best pizza we have had in agesThe pizza was huge with a wonderful chewy, beautifully cooked sourdough base. We got a half and half loved the spicy pepperoni as well at the white pizza with the rocket. .Great service too.

this is the first time Ive ever left a google review and this is 100% down to the fact that this is the BEST pizza I have had the absolute pleasure of eating anywhere in New Zealand, if I could have left more stars I would have, once again. Amazing

Awesome pizza! Best Ive had for a long time! Awesome service!Didnt realise how big theyd be so will be eating pizza for the weekend.Not complaining!Cheers!

Just had an absolutely amazing pizza class experience. Jo is an incredible teacher. We briefly dipped into everything from methods of cooking to recipes and ingredients and how each element effects the end product. fantastic experience I would definitely encourage anyone to get on board with Jo for a lesson!

Consistently amazing Pizza and Service

Beautiful Italian tastes to their pizzas.We ordered a pizza, was shocked at how big it was! It was yummy as, almost ate the whole thing! Lol.The lovly staff put the leftover slices in a box for us to take home.

Beautiful Italian flavorsWe ordered a pizza, and was shocked at how big it was. But it was so yummy we almost ate the whole thing.The lovly staff put the rest in a box for us to take home.

Best pizza in Bay of Plenty...and I am Italian!

We ordered the meatball and Oh my goodness so yummy! I didnt expect such a good pizza at a bowling Alley. Move over Sals pizza. Avenue knocks them out of the ballpark. I was full after only just two slices. I compared to a dominos pizza and two slices fills a whole box! As to the one star review lets just say the customer is not always right.

Wish I could give them 100 stars. Pizza was amazing. Staff were equally amazing. Will definitely be back and spreading the word.

Epic traditional style Italian pizza. Not over done, the flavours don’t need it they are so good.Would recommend to anyone who knows a good pizza when they see one.

GREAT pizza, delivered promptly by a nice driver, hot, and exactly as ordered.

The best pizza ever wow

Pizza eatery sits inside the bowling alley. They dont have a dedicated oven but the chef is very knowledgeable and informs you of the risk. I never had a reaction. The cider is yummy and the pizzas are soooo delicious. The base is crispy and the flavour of the day was scrumptious. Will be our new go to for pizza when in town.

Legit.The. Best. Will be back weekly. Chips are also not to be missed. Possibly the most strangely located pizza but it all makes sense once you eat it. Maybe Ill take up bowling now.

Brilliant pizza every time! Perfectionists at work. A must visit eatery for any trip to Tauranga.

Simply the BEST pizza. Thin. Crispy base. Excellent toppings.

Great pizza, great service. Will be back.

Best Margarita Pizza in Tauranga!!!!!! The way Pizza should be.. simple with quality ingredients and wood fired! You wouldnt expect it out of a bowling ally but glad Ive found this gem!!!!

Most unprofessional staff ever when one of our group was asked how the pizza was he was very rude with the response and said to not go to Italy if we wanted more mushroom on it.For starters if you are going to be rude to a customer when asking for feedback then dont ask!! And when I confronted the staff member he said he was the owener and can do what he wants. Never have I seen an owner disrespect customers so much,would definitely not go back!!!

If you love Naples style sourdough pizza then do yourself a favour and go here. If you don’t know what that is then go here and find out! It is in the bowling alley so not a place for a long, fancy dinner... but the food is excellent and definitely worth going out of your way for.

Proper Naples style pizzas, super friendly. Hands down the best on offer in this part of NZ. Go there!

Great pizza, Italian style. The Best in Tauranga. Just love it

So good

This place is located in the Tenpin bowling alley in Tauranga; so we were a little dubious about what it would be like. As it turned out, they make incredible artisan pizzas. As of now (Jan 2019there are only four choices: margherita, mushroom, pepperoni, and a special that changes regularly. We opted to split two pizzas: the margherita and mushroom and loved them both, especially with the chili oil they served on the side. We found that one pizza per person was about right for us, but light eaters might be able to split one. This place is truly a gem!
