What's not to like about $15 Tuesday's?…read more I arrived in Tauranga wanting to visit a well reviewed fish and chip place but they were closed due to n fish! I was disappointed until I came upon this patio. It has a prime part too location right across the street from the water. It was 2pm at the time and was very quiet. I settled with their menu which was on the pricier side. It was a welcomed surprise when the waitress said on tuesdays for all pizzas. I ordered the prosciutto ($24) and my husband ordered the chilli shrimp. ($26,50). The prosciutto pizza with rocket salad on top was well balanced while the shrimp one had everything on it including Italian sausage and capers. It all surprising came together well though my husband thought if was a bit of an overkill since the sausage and capers and chili overpowered the. shrimp. We agreed that we wouldn't have wanted to pay the regular price for the pizzas. Overall, I'd go back again for the nice setting and try whatever special they had that day.

Mostly, if not all locals as they all only sat in the outdoor patio area. Not one person sat in the outside front for people watching???
