Brave Pizza

Nestled along Great North Road in the heart of Grey Lynn, Brave Pizza is Auckland’s newest slice of bold, nostalgic comfort. With its relaxed takeaway vibe and a short-but-mighty menu of inventive, crowd-pleasing pizzas, it’s quickly becoming a must-visit stop for locals and visitors alike exploring one of the city’s most creative neighbourhoods.

Behind the dough is Chef Tom, whose pizza journey began far from Aotearoa, in the bustling streets of Seoul. After running a well-loved pizzeria there for several years, Tom returned to Auckland with a passion for classic American-style pizza, premium ingredients, and a playful sense of flavour adventure. Together with his brother, he set out to create a laid-back spot that surprises with every slice—think nostalgic favourites alongside inventive creations like jalapeño popper pizza and rich truffle-mushroom toppings.

Brave Pizza is all about keeping things simple, honest, and delicious—great pizza, great people, and a neighbourhood vibe that invites you to stay a while. Whether you’re on a Grey Lynn food crawl or discovering Auckland’s vibrant dining scene, Brave Pizza is the kind of place you stumble upon once and then keep coming back to.
