What you'll find at Black Sand Pizzeria

Black Sand Pizzeria and Bistro is nestled on the popular surf beach in Oakura, Taranaki, New Zealand. We proudly serve Authenticated Neapolitan Pizza combined with a fresh, seasonal and modern bistro menu in a welcoming neighbourhood vibe, ON THE BEACH!

Flour, water, salt, yeast, time, and tradition are at the heart of everything we do. Combined with carefully selected ingredients and cooked at high temperatures in our wood-fired oven, our pizzas emerge soft, light, and beautifully airy. For the true Neapolitan experience, enjoy your pizza hot and folded.

Our wine list celebrates predominantly organic and natural wines, with a focus on independent, small-scale producers from New Zealand and Australia. When it comes to beer, we're proud to pour local. Please note: We are not a BYO venue.

Bookings are highly recommended, particularly during the busy summer months. After making a reservation, please check your spam or junk folder if your booking confirmation doesn't appear in your inbox.

We're a small but mighty restaurant, for group bookings of 11 or more, please visit our Functions page or email blacksandpizza@gmail.com to discuss options. We'll always do our best to accommodate seating requests, but specific tables — including window seats — cannot be guaranteed.
