We were a group of 12, my brother in law called and made a reservation over a month before, then called to confirm a few days before. They confirmed the reservation with him. We arrived after a long day of traveling and they had no reservation for us and said they had no room for us . This was pretty frustrating, especially since we had 4 kids under 6 with us. So then we decided we will just order take away and eat it at a park. When we went to order our food the staff said to wait and they would make sure they could get us seated. They worked super fast and got a table from a large group that just left ready for us. We really appreciated that. Pizza was excellent, drinks were excellent. We had full bellies and happy kiddos! read more

Fat Badgers Only a few pizza options in Queenstown, the six of us were craving pizza and wanted to bring it back to our airbnb, by accident we ended up having a pizza taste comparison. So we asked different local people what they recommend, so after we purchased the first pizza, it looked like an individual size, so we bought another from the second choice and that was not much bigger. We remembered as we were walking through Queenstown that there was another shop handing out samples and it said "Largest Pizza in Queenstown", that was a go for us were quantity was most important, so we got a 3rd pizza from 3 different pizza restaurants. Ended up, all 6 of us preferred the Fat Badgers the most! Half Fat Badger, Half Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very tasty pizza and good size. Was loaded with lots of ingredients and very generous. I would recommend this pizza restaurant over the other "popular" pizza restaurants read more

Fat Badgers - Large pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

Not the best pizza in the world, but Fat Badgers is everything you want out of a pizza / bar spot. Our pizza came out very quick and prices were pretty reasonable. We just got the normal margherita, and while the sauce and dough were average the cheese blend surprised us on how good it was! read more

Fat Badgers - Pizza Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

We were looking for lunch and found this place online here. Being a proud Wisconsin Native I of course had to check it out. It's a small spot with a great selection of pizza, 1 salad and beer and soft drinks. We ended up ordering the Badger Italian pizza with great spicy pepperoni and a second pepperoni-like sausage (plus mushrooms but we left those off). There are two sizes, 12" and 20". We had 12" and the salad (minus the feta and olives) and it was just enough for two. The have both indoor and outside tables in a shaded and breezy alley. Place your order at the bar and pay, then they bring your food out to you to enjoy. Service was good and friendly and we really liked the food, thin crisp pizza with just the proper amount of stuff and fresh tasty salad. Price was good to, about NZ$40 for lunch.

If you enjoy cold pizza than by all mean's get it delivered by Uber eats! I could throw a rock and almost hit the place but it was still as cod as a polar bear's bum! Very disappointed read more

First of all, I have to say that the quality of the pizzas here completely exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the variety of toppings available to choose from and the variety of suggested configurations is pretty amazing as well. Yes, the pizzas can be big. But you can also order 12-inch versions for $16 with all of the toppings of the bigger pies. This is pretty helpful for two people who can't agree on what they like! I chose an Italian Stallion (pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage) and added jalapeños for a nominal surcharge. My friend had a The Full English pizza, which had full English breakfast toppings on it. I was skeptical of that one, but man it was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful, as well as efficient. We enjoyed the place so much we came back a second time with our limited time in Queenstown. If I'm ever back to Queenstown, this is the first restaurant I'll be back to! read more

Queenstown isn't playing around when it comes to your adventurous hunger. This is the most pumped up city in all of New Zealand. Tons of people come here for thrills. But you know it'll leave you hungry. Fat Badgers will help you out. They serve the largest pizza for a decent price. We ordered "The Princess" and it was delicious. We walked away with leftovers for the next day. Can't complain there. You pay first then grab a table and wait for your goodness to arrive. I saw a lot of people order take-away pizzas. We sat outside and watched all the young people walk by with cases of beer and some getting ready to go out dancing. Another great memory to take back home. read more

We stopped in for pizza. The actual establishment is somewhat forgettable. A couple of draft beer choices; however, no IPA's at the time of our dining. Therefore, this left us wanting for more. In regards to the pizza, I have to say that I liked the toppings--not super memorable, but not bad either. We ordered the one with chicken and other meats... something like a meat-lovers. Two issues I had [basically, with all the pizzas we tried in Queenstown] is that the crust--seemingly not hand tossed but rather frozen(?)--is super thin and more like eating a saltine cracker crust, i.e., no breadiness, not doughy. And then, the sauce is not tomato-y, nor zesty. In fact, there seemed to be little if any sauce on the pizza. I hate to beat them up too bad for this, especially since the other three pizzerias we ate at had the same issue. Therefore, it may be a NZ thing, or at least a Queenstown thing. Otherwise, it was pretty 'good'. So, my advice, get better beer selection, pizza sauce and crust and you'll blow the other pizzerias out of the water. read more

Great little place in the heart of Queenstown! Busy and don't take bookings but no need to wait long! Order the poutine it is A M A Z I N G!!! They have 20" Pizzas omg so ridiculous and so delicious - chilli flakes to shake on the table, I love that! All pizza places need chilli on the table it's a no brainer! Prices are good, if I was in QT longer I would 100% come back! read more

Nice little spot to sit and people watch at the top of the mall. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza and the poutine, along with a ginger ale to drink. The total was around 33nzd. The pizza was good, but nothing extraordinary. The crust was thin and had a nice chew to it, which I think is appropriate. There was good coverage on the slice with pepperoni, so nothing to complain about on the toppings. Based on their website, I had been expecting a specific specialty pizza to be available by the slice, but when I went to the bar to order, I was told that a different specialty pizza was available, along with the pepperoni and margarita. The available specialty did not appeal to me so I went with the pepperoni. So, I would suggest if you are planning to buy a slice to be flexible. Their listing of what is available each day on the website may not be accurate. The poutine was ok. Not really a true poutine, as they used shredded mozzarella as the cheese rather than fresh curd. The fries were your average restaurant quality frozen potatoes. The gravy was good, and there was plenty of gravy and cheese in the dish- this wasn't a token topping that only covered the top layer of fries. Only major complaint would be that the whole affair was kinda salty, probably driven by the gravy. There are some nice tables outside the restaurant under a covered breezeway, with lots of foot traffic making this an ideal place to have a meal and people watch. read more

Fun pizza place. Between four of us we shared a salad and a large pizza. We split the pizza between princess veggie and one of the meat ones. Both were good and we still had one slice left! read more

Ordinary but fun names on the pizzas, and the quality is pretty good. Small or large (and the large is quite large!) options... the small with a salad feeds three if you're not too hungry. Pretty small space so it gets crowded quick, come early if you want a more calm experience. read more

Everyone is nice in NZ and these folks are no different. However, if you look at it overall, the pizza at Fat Badgers leaves much to be desired. But compared to the general food scene around Queenstown, it's definitely above average. Sorry Queenstown! Anyway, we ordered a large pizza. And like the other reviewers, it is HUGE, like a ~20 inch diameter huge. Toppings can be/were non-existent. I ordered the "Scratching Badger" pizza which touted ricotta cheese, and there was barely any on it. Oh, and same goes for the spinach. Mildly disappointing. I kept thinking that if their large pizza wasn't gigantic, they might be able to portion their toppings better. Oh, and the red sauce was very tomato pasty. Crust? It shames me to say, but ranch could have rectified this whole ordeal to some degree. Interestingly enough, I might even go back here if I wasn't planning on venturing past Camp street. Queenstown is just that kind of place. However, if you have time to do so, please report back on your pizza findings. read more

It's always amazing to me that no matter what the taste of it, the scent of pizza wafting through the air always makes me ravenous...! Fat Badgers satiated that hunger! We started with a couple of Monteith's Porters ($14 ea.). Rather than two small pizzas, we went with the half-half large Badger: On one side, the Greek; the other side, Atomic. If you're in a rush, better just go with the single slice; otherwise, the pace was leisurely. That said, once the pie arrived, my goodness, it looked amazing! The thing was HUGE (20" radius)! Naturally, the Greek side came with sliced lamb. Normally, I'm NOT a lamb kinda guy; but, this half was very savory and satisfying. The Atomic side hit the right spice level for me. OMG, we were completely stuffed! And ... we had a good five slices left over for breakfast pizza...!!! After one visit, I'd say we are all fans of Fat Badgers.... :D read more

A lively bar serving 12'inch and 20'inch pizzas, bowls of beer and sides like poutine and gourmet hot wings. The music is rockin', the staff are super friendly and yes, some of their pizzas might be expensive, but they are oh so good. We loved the Mediterranean lamb pizza! They also brew their own beer, which is not half bad. I highly recommend also ordering a 'Badger Bowl' of beer for $12 and their poutine. One of my favourite restaurants in Queenstown! read more

we went for the large pizza and guess what its huge really, i think the lady serving us also was surprised when we ordered as we were just two and when i saw the size of the pizza easily it can feed 4-5 people. The pizza was very tasty and perfectly baked. next time if i am around this place i will make sure that i order the medium size. Forgot to tell as we are pizza hoggers we were able to finish 80% so 9 huge pieces out of 12 :). enjoy read more

Great pizza. Nice and fresh ingredients. The tomato sauce was awesome, the crust was thin and crispy but with the right amount of softness. We also ordered the jalapeno poppers and that paired with the sweet chili sauce it came with was perfect appetizer. Great staff, efficient and friendly. read more

Came to this place after our Milford Sound tour so we were hungry. The restaurant only serves pizza in 2 sizes, 12 inch or 20 inch. With such a drastic size difference, it would have been nice to have a size inbetween. The 12 was a bit small for two of us and the 20 inch would leave us leftovers for days...which would have been fine if we were in town for a few more days. We ordered the Fat Badger pizza in the 12 inch and it was great and probably the best pizza we had on our trip with the exception that it was a little too small. Price was about $25 for a small which is a little pricey but the place was fun. Would highly recommend. read more

Busy, casual and funky Pizza place. Stands out due to its quick efficient service and its myriad of 'not the run of the mill' pizza toppings. Licenced with good beer and wine selections as well. Brilliant for a quick meal in a warm but energetic ambience. Well done Badgers. read more

This place was great. They serve some giant salads, ordered two and really only needed one. Gluten Free pizza was pretty good. Regular pizza looked amazing. Their wings were delightful as well. Good spot, would definitely go back read more

Large pizza, great atmosphere, premium ingredients Fat Badgers is a must any time I'm in Queenstown.

We got a pizza and salad to eat outside. You order at the bar and they bring your food out to you. Service was friendly and even though they got it wrong, they made it right for us. We had a half and half large pizza (the Princess and the Fat Badger) - and a large is massive! Great flavor and good crust. The Princess is veggie and the Fat Badger is meat-laden. The tomato sauce is sweet and tangy! read more

I visited this place with my friend since it had high reviews. However we were both disappointed with the Sista Badger pizza we had from their secret menu, especially when compared to The Cow restaurant that is nearby. The crust and sauce were not very flavorful and the cheese didn't stand out. So while it had the toppings I was very interested in, overall the pizza was not all that great - it basically tasted like frozen pizza that had been heated up. I will not visit again. read more

Great pizza! Chill atmosphere. Good for a casual slice and brew. On the cheap side as well.

Sad experience....we were told to sit down at a table. Sat for 10 min. Eight young people came in...to the bar..they were served first..we were ignored.... We finally got up and left. They certainly favor the younger folk. Seniors have money also!!!! read more

Cosy pizza place located in centre of Queenstown. Good variety of Pizzas and perfect for sharing.

Honestly some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. Refreshing to come out to a foreign country and be able to have authentic American tasting pizza. A good slice of home! read more

The garlic fingers with cheese was one of the best I've had. The margarita could have done with better cheese.

It was hard to choose a restaurant in Queenstown with all the options but I'm glad we wound up at Fat Badger's. The bowls of beer are huge! Great if you're ready to tie one on and sit there for a while...not so great if you're a slow drinker. Pizzas only come in two sizes 12" & 20", but plenty of awesome options so you can get 2 12" pizzas if you want to try multiple or even split toppings on one. Pepperoni was crispy and delicious and they have red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese shakers on the table just like America! Great choice for lunch or dinner, dine in or take away. Would definitely come back. read more

This place is just awesome! We ordered the fat badgers pizza - large, and it's actually super super large and tastes quite good. The only thing I can think of to improve is that the bread can be more crispy. But still highly recommend! read more

We went here as a party of 5 and got seated in one of the big red booths straight away. Despite it being a busy night for them, our food came really quickly and was amazing. The pizzas are a very generous size and smothered in toppings. Definitely worth a visit, especially after a busy day of sightseeing! read more

Had a fat badger pizza as a takeaway with some wings all was very nice would recommend to all
