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 our passion. Teamed with carefully-matched ingredients and cooked in a wood-fired oven at a high temperature, the pizza comes out soft, light and fluffy. Best eaten hot and folded, for an optimal eating experience. The wine list draws inspiration from mostly organic and natural wines with a focus on NZ and AUS small producers. As for beers – all local!

Bookings are necessary, especially in the summer months. Tables of 11 or more please see our functions section and email blacksandpizza@gmail.com

Takeaways are available with a reduced menu. Please see the Takeaway menu option at the top of page for your selection.
