Review Stumpy's Pizza - Auckland Central

Delicious pizza! However, gosh the base was so thin :( I couldn’t even pick up a slice without everything slipping off.

Redford Stalker

I've been to Stumpy's Pizza at Street Feast a few times. I really enjoyed having both the Veg Italiano and Stumpy's Supreme pizza. The chef makes the pizza quickly and passionately, on a woodfired stone oven, to provide a nice crunchy base.

Pablo Ponce

Excellent pizza! I ordered half pepperoni and half prosciutto, both really good! beautifully cooked, crispy base.

We had Andy in the Pizza truck at our Corporate screening of Bathurst 2022 and the reaction from our clients was WOW! They loved the pizza options, the flavours, and Andy's service with a smile. He arrived on time, pumped out the Pizza, cleaned up and left the place spotless. In the 7 years it's been between when I last used him and now, he's only got better! Thanks Stumpy's for a job well done.

Carolyn Brown

Thanks so much for bringing your truck to our work function at Bed Bath & Beyond yesterday Andy. Your pizzas were such a hit and really tasty. We had 100% positive feedback from our 250 guests. You worked tirelessly the entire afternoon and managed to smile the whole time! I highly recommend Andy to anyone doing a corporate function.

Alex Fang

Online order was easy, and pizzas made on time. Very tasty toppings and the base is chewy. Most importantly the whole pizza is not too oilly at all. Will definitely come back.

George Ashcroft

Great pizza, not cheap despite the reviews, but nice nonetheless for a treat, much better to support these places rather than the chains and the quality doesn't compare

Pia Tikkanen

Beautiful flavours, I wish pizzas could travel better in cardboard boxes without going a bit soggy but will definitely order again and would highly recommend Stumpy's Pizza.

Ariela

Lovely little place. Looks unassuming from the outside, but their pizza was amazing. Great taste, crisp bases, and friendly staff

Beth Hardy

I have had stumpys many times and I am never disappointed. The pizza is always perfectly cooked and the toppings are simple yet effective. I cannot rave about it enough. Will be back again

Saul Cheyne

So good thank you guys, ordered here last night and they were waiting for gluten free bases to arrive, so slight delay (less than 10 minutes) and they gave us free garlic bread pizza and bambino’s! 11/10 if I could!

Harry Wilcock

Running 1st place auckland pizza in my opinion, also on dominion road. Great friendly owner who makes excellent bases and wood fires his pizzas instore. Always quick, no wait and you can even eat in with the 5 seats they have if its quite which it usually is. This is local business and im proud to support it, well worth it ;)

Xan Hamilton

We had Stumpy's Pizza yesterday, at auckland city limits. It was exciting, and so much better than the other pizza offering, there. Stumpy's doughs were fantastic - super crisp, yet chewy; flavourful; and a pleasure to indulge in. The sauce and toppings were yum, too. And not too salty! Yay.

Olivia Bridgens

Just had Stumpy's delivered. They missed an extra ingredient we wanted off the fun guy pizza. No sooner had we sat down to eat and the delivery guy was back at our door with a hot delicious pizza with correct ingredients on it free of charge. Awesome service guys. Chips were delicious and pizzas were even better. My 5 year old who is very very fussy with his pizzas told me his kids pizza was the best ever!! We will be back for sure thanks so much for making our Sunday night

Marcia Norris

Wow, we had Stumpys pizza come out to Shakespeare park today for my 50th birthday party. AMAZING, every body loved the pizza. Cooked fast, yummy toppings, lovely sizes, can't say enough about how awesum the guys are. 😁😁😁😁😉😉😉

Marcia Archer

Andy and his team are amazing! They expertly catered our corporate launch today. Everyone loved the pizzas �! Would definitely recommend them for your next function! Cheers, Marcia

Adrian Duigan

Had the chicken pizza. Still getting over the worst dose of food poisoning I've ever experienced in my life, 3 days later. I would have emailed to complain quietly, but apparently you don't have an email listed on your website. Have been regular local customers for a few years now, but will not be back again.

Sam Judd

Absolutely delicious, great service and super relaxed about our slightly chaotic kids

Paul Kumar

Great pizzas and great conversations with Andy the owner. Always perfect Salty Sailor

Haylee Mcpherson

So we got Chicken Run and Swimin Up stream, both pizzas very similar, very very little meat/fish ( one tiny piece per slice), and a bit of Finely chopped onion thrown on top. On receiving the pizzas they were luke warm also. Unfortunately left very disappointed.

Ben Croon

There's a latvian lady that works there best service ever and the pizza was top notch

Renee Yang Hansjee

Drove all the way from Silverdale and totally worth it! Best pizza ever & awesome service!!!

Andrew O'Brien

Great, light and tasty pizza. Good prices and quality ingredients. Will definitely be coming back

Sarah Keay

21st Oct your team and pizza truck came to our factory in Penrose as we were celebrated turning 60! Thank you so much for your delicious pizzas and fantastic service, 65 very happy people and you will probably hear from us in a few weeks to talk Christmas lunch � Highly recommended! From the team at Healthpak Ltd

David Roberts

Good service, tasty pizza! Will be back.

Garry McLanachan

The pizza is just so good!

Dana Haw

This pizza equals the one I had in Italy. Doesn't get more Italian than Stumpy's.

Younger Kristy

On Saturday 30th August, your team and wood fired pizza truck came to our Mellons Bay School Murder & Mystery Event! Thank you so much for your amazing customer service and yummy pizzas! I have already given your details out to many happy people who would like to use you at their upcoming//future events! Highly recommended! See you again soon! Kristy (& PTA event team)

Punish Budhiraja

Stumpy's - The Best place for woodfired pizzas in the town.

Mark Lloyd

Great value. Great flavours. GF options too. Perfect really

Shan Hooper

We just got 2 woodfire pizzas with added extra toppings, drink & sides for $48. SO GOOD! Everything was amazing, fries were incredible, delicious authentic pizzas! Definitely will becoming regulars!

Persian Foodie

Chicken run and pepperoni, grande size. 7 mins to make pizza so very quick, nice light base but overly thick and doughy crust (wish it was thinner.) chicken had a nice caramelised taste from the onion and the bell peppers which added a bit of sourness. Toppings were cooked nicely, wish the cheese was a little softer and melted in your mouth as it had set harder. Pepperoni added enough peppery flavor without the jalapeños and had a chorizo taste. Good pizza value $34 for both, but 1 grande is probably not enough to be shared among 2

Boty

The pizza is good and so is the price. Staff is not very helpful sometimes, specially when they have too many orders. Menu has a limited selection, but good ingredients and well presented. A good place to have a better pizza.

Tracey Watkinson

So disappointed...purchased 4 Pizza travelled 5 mins up the road to eat in park....Pizza was so under cooked and soggy u could not even pick it up...toppings were below average...wont go there again...

Feel Food

Ordered take away 2 large pizzas. Pizzas were tasty but small in size for the price. we two are average eaters n 2 large pizzas weren't enough. Worth trying once.

Amna Laila

Best wood fired pizza in Auckland!!!! I usually have the Margherita but decided to try the chicken today and it was delicious. As always, fantastic service too!

888bing888

Their pizza with simple ingredients and crispy crust but they were delicious. The staff was friendly but there was a bit of wait for pizza. Will still come back for their pizza.

Wendy Wang

Authentic Italian pizza. Very thin base, and simple ingredients on the top. Restaurant is very tiny, so take away is a better choice for me.

Evilmaikel

If you like original italian pizzas this is the place to go. Best pizzas in auckland and very well priced. Hope they will expand to other places sometimes as the owner mentioned titirangi once which would be just around the corner.

Brojoe1021

Been to stumpys a few times and the pizza is always top notch. However this time the pizzas arrived 20mins later than advertised and they were incorrect. The Freedom fries were so white and anemic Donald Trump would marry them. Unsure if I would go again.

Gastrophilist

Tried their vegetarian pizzas. Not bad at all. Their base is the star. Light and perfectly crispy. Toppings could have been better with the Margherita. Too less in our opinion. We were all very much impressed by their service which was quick and attentive. Fresh basil used plucked in front of our eyes. Totally guilt free pizzas as they don't fill you up too much but just enough. Will be back to try other pizzas for sure.

Shaan Kaloti

Beautifully crisp base and quality toppings, all for a decent price! This place probably has some of the best wood fired pizza I've had. Would totally recommend this pizzeria.

Salina Cheung

Food: 5***** Service: 4**** Atmosphere: 3*** Price range: $14-$20/person Worth it:4**** They were in the Italian festival at Newmarket. Really packed at their booth, we waited for the pizza (pepperoni with jalapenos) for around 25mins, freshly baked pizza from kiln, really tasty, I could say it's the best pizza I've ever had.

Paul Doolan

Enjoyed the Hawaiian and the Veg out with some added pepperoni. Looking forward to trying out the lasagna. Our go to on a lazy night in front of the TV.

Annette Wong

Great pizza and great service! The crust was cooked to perfection with a slight crunch! Generous topping amount Only one slight disappointment was that the toppings came off easily and could have done with a little bit more cheese to keep it on! Overall, so happy with this place!

Caleb Green

great service, great pizza. one of the best pizza joint in auckland, if you are after authentic wood fire pizza this is definitely the place. the price is very reasonable also. love it.

Shirley Li

Best pizza base ever!!! Generally when I get take away pizza and feel that I am getting full, I will munch off all the parts with toppings and throw the edge away. But with Stumpy's, I ate the entire thing for every single slice because they were the perfect balance of slight chewiness and that yummy crisp texture you want from pizza base. Perfect amount of topping for the price. Highly recommend fun guy and pepperoni!If you enjoy spicy food, definitely try the Pepperoni Pizza as the jalapenõs on top do pack a punch.

Athena

Ordered for takeaways on a saturday evening. We ordered the fun guy(mushroom) and vege out pizzaz. They told me on the phone it would be 15 minutes and sure enough the order was ready within the time frame. The pizza was delicious, the right amount of filling, dough was great. The vege out was slightly soggy in the middle thats the only downside. We were satisfied and would go back for sure!

Chloe Jurgens

Pizza bases are by far the best we have tried in Auckland so far. Pizza's are topped with fresh and tasty ingredients and this is the closest place we have found to authentic pizza. Love it.

Stephanie Perwata

The place was a small shop with 2-5 chairs for eat-in, but the place was pretty cozy for a pizza place. The service was very friendly and made me feel welcome. Ordered the hawaiian and anchovies pizza to eat-in. Freshly made by order, it came out piping hot and crispy crust. It was your typical wood fired pizza, so you know it's special. Portion size was ok, not too big esp w the fact that it's a rather thin pizza not thick, but this is what you expected from a wood fired pizza. Topping was generous, flavor was pretty good and I noticed that there were a lot of ppl dropping in for pick-up. Would def come back when I'm in a mood for a slightly gourmet pizza.

Mat

Tonight my partner spontaneously decided to take me to Stumpy's pizza. When I first read the menu, I saw beef lasagna listed and instantly knew that I was going to order it! He ordered the garlic bread and pepperoni pizza. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. I definitely recommend the lasagna :)

Angela Gordon

Best wood fire pizza in Auckland, perfect if you want an authentic, affordable wood fire pizza. Fresh basil & handmade ingredients, would definitely recommend!

Vincent Warner

So just finished my pizza from this place. As previous reviewers have said the pizza is pretty damn good. Thin crust, good sauce and good dough. And not too many toppings that the pizza ends up becoming a pizza Hutt job. Really happy with price, taste. I wouldn't hang here and eat but it is a fantastic takeaway only place.

Roger Cook

If you want perfectly balanced, crispy based, woodfired pizzas, with the "just right" amount of toppings, this is the place for you. How do you want to feel after you eat? You might look at your pizza and think there's not enough toppings, but eat a Stumpy's pizza, and you will feel invigorated, after an amazing balance of texture and flavours. Quality over quantity - all the way

Manic Wookie

Always really good. Been there a few times. Friendly staff. Only just realised the name 'stumpy' came from the founder loosing half his arm whilst cutting wood!

Tony O'Connor

We've had takeout from stumpy maybe 5 times now and its always fab. Great toppings and base. They get the proportions of each topping just right, unlike the lottery that is the usual pizza chain. What's the issue with a little burn on your wood-fired pizza Loralen? Lovely stuff!

Michaela Challis

The only pizza we have tasted in NZ that is comparable to the that in italy. Perfect bases and delicious toppings. Great price! Traditional woodfired pizza, no stodgy bases, forget all the other rubbish this is the best.

Laurelin Okan

Their garlic bread had too much salt and some of our pizza was burnt. While some of the food is good, I feel it is too expensive for what you get. They need to reassess either their price or the quality of their food.

Kate

Great pizza, love their bases. The pizzas don't come with millions of toppings but they're still really tasty - my favourite is the Hawaiian. The garlic bread pizza is really good too. Wish they had sides of e.g. hot chips though!

Renan Pinheiro

Today I was in Onehunga Night Market when I saw a sign written Stumpy's Woodfired Pizza and did not believe because until then .. I had never eaten any pizza made in a wood oven in New Zealand since May! Best crew. Best Woodfired Pizzas in town! Ps.: Pictures from Grey Lynn which was awesome as well.

Katie Penjueli

Thank you for the best pizza in Auckland. I come here every tuesday and every pizza taste the same with thin and crispy crust. I would highly recommend this pizzeria. My kids love the garlic bread and pepperoni pizza and I love the Buffalo range. Love love love your set up on the night markets at ONEHUNGA, GLENFIELD,BOTANY, AND HENDERSON. once again thank you. Good to have you in the neighborhood.

Lisa Norling

Authentic woodfire pizzas served with fun and personality. Perfect crust and amount of toppings. These pizza's remind me of my travels to Italy. Always very happy to see the Stumpy's trucks pull up!

Wayne Ashton

After first coming across Stumpys at the Silo markets we were wrapped to find he'd set up in Balmoral. Apart from the easy parking the service and Pizza is great. Simple, tasty, and non-greasy. True classic style pizzas! Highly recommend giving them a go.

RJ

The best pizza and pasta. Simple to choose from menu and the flavors are all balanced and not too heavy. Highly recommend this place. Authentic Italian!

Terri Jan

Fabulous pizza. Highly recommended for a real pizza. If you want lots of toppings go to a chain store. This is a different class of pizza. I have been twice and will return.

Laura Kennerley

I don't really understand the amazing reviews for this place. We had pizza here a couple of times here last year and it was good - this year - I've never seen a pizza with such scant toppings, you may as well just use these pizzas as a base for your own creation, we had to otherwise the protein content was basically zero. I hope you guys actually read this and increase the meat (chicken pizza can hardly be called chicken pizza if it only contains say 3% chicken....) as the neighbourhood is not spoilt for choice!

Zebiba Kline

Great pizza. These pizzas remind me of eating pizza in Europe. Fresh and very tasty. Wood fire - wholesome and reasonably priced. Great to have you and BackBeat cafe in the neighbourhood. I hope you do well and if you do- change nothing. Try them!

Aaron Hochwimmer

We tried Stumpy's last night. Very impressed with the staff friendliness, prompt service (10 mins from order), and excellent food. Pizza dough throwing and a wood fire. It's a great take-away addition to the neighbourhood.

Janice Miller

Best pizzas, awesome staff. These guys deserve to do well, they even throw their pizza dough, tasty toppings and all prepared by very friendly passionate staff. Welcome addition to the neighbourhood.

Geo H

Pizza at Stumpy's last night. Their Swimmin' salmon pizza is to die for. Wood-fired heaven!

Tim Hinchliff

Got pizza from stumpys last night. And it was excellent. Made from good ingredients in a proper oven before you eyes. The doughs were fresh and handmade, the staff friendly. Its good to finally have a really good pizza place in the area. Stumpys has instantly become our number one family take away option. Well done guys.

Samantha Lines

I stopped by after work to pick up some pizza and it was definitely a good idea. I waited about 10 minutes for my food and it was still warm by the time I got home. The base was really thin, just the way I like it and the tomato sauce wasn't too acidic so it didn't take a layer of skin off the roof of my mouth. The toppings look sparse but actually there's enough in each bite to keep you happy. I had a Hawaiian and a pizza bread (garlic bread) and they were both really good. I'd definitely go back especially for the lunch deals which look reasonable. The decor was also really nice with drop pendants and a pretty wood fire oven. There's only 5 seats so it's mostly take away but you could sit there in a lunch. The staff were really friendly and we're actually Italian which was different!

Mark.akl84

Wicked wood fired pizzas

Sarah Malcolm

Really good pizza! Best in the dominion road area. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Pizzas are kinda small would probably need two for two people (one pizza to share for two would not be enough if you were hungry)
