“ Absolutely fantastic! The pizza was perfectly cooked with a deliciously crispy crust and fresh, high-quality ingredients. Topping it off with a scrumptious real fruit ice cream. Quick service, friendly staff, and the flavors were spot on. Highly recommend! ”
“ Stopped here while driving through, and I’m so glad I did! The pizza was incredible – perfectly crispy base, generous toppings, and cheese that pulls just right. You wouldn’t expect such quality from a highway stop, but this place exceeded all expectations. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the place was clean and welcoming. Whether you're on a long trip or just passing by, this pizza is absolutely worth the stop. Definitely one of the best roadside meals I’ve ever had! Highly recommend the pepperoni or veggie supreme – both were top-notch! ”
“ The food was exceptionally tasty and the service from the team is the even better. Very kind in taking in our order based on what works with us. The pizza was very tasty and so was the burger. We tried peri peri and chicken supreme which I would highly recommend. Easy recommendation for lunch/dinner if you are visiting Turangi! ”
“ Absolutely amazing! Golden Pizza Crust Shop never disappoints. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, loaded with fresh toppings and full of flavour. The service is quick, friendly, and welcoming every time. Great value for money and always consistent. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the best pizza in town! ”
“ Visiting friends in Kuratau and looking for a nice lunch spot- stumbled upon Golden Crust by chance. Excellent service, short wait, and the best pizza I’ve ever had. The meat supreme redefines pizza- nothing will come close after! Cannot recommend enough. ”
“ I first went here my first day in New Zealand - jet lagged, tired and hungry. It was so good that we went the next day- fully rested. And the pizza was still good. Also the prices here are great. Not a long wait and very nice employees. The garlic bread was too buttery for me, but otherwise everything was good. I’d recommend the cheese pizza. ”
“ First time visiting this place — it was completely random! Honestly, We (all family members) wasn’t even in the mood for pizza, but I was hungry and thought, why not? Turns out, it was the BEST decision. We ordered three pizzas: BBQ Chicken, Supreme Chicken, and Peri Peri Paneer (vegetarian). Trust me — I’ve never tasted pizza this amazing, even in Auckland. They were bursting with flavour yet so light to eat. If you’re in Turangi, this spot should be on your must-visit list. Add it to your lunch or dinner plans — you won’t regret it. Normally I stop at 3–4 slices, but this time, the four of us finished all three pizzas and a pack of fries, and we didn’t even feel overly full. Absolutely loved it — a place you must visit ”
