About Kitchenese Pizzeria & Catering
Kitchenese Pizzeria & Catering is a wood-fired pizza eatery at 800 Port Road (corner of Hunt Road). They operate a rotating menu, cater to vegan and gluten-free diets, and also serve smoothies, milkshakes, and deli food. Private catering services available for events and celebrations, with outdoor seating and takeaway.
Find us on the corner of Port and Hunt Roads—just look for our vibrant OPEN flag flying high. We are a short drive from Whangamata’s main beach and town centre, with ample off-street parking available for your convenience. Our outdoor courtyard is the perfect spot for a relaxed summer meal.
What truly sets Kitchenese apart is our commitment to craft and community. Our dough is fermented for 48 hours for superior flavour and digestibility, and we source fresh, local produce whenever possible. This dedication results in a light, crisp crust that perfectly complements our creative, seasonal toppings. We’re not just a pizzeria; we’re a destination for food lovers seeking an authentic, artisanal experience.
