Golden Fire Pizza brings the spirit of Naples to New Zealand through handcrafted Neapolitan-style pizza, live cooking and premium mobile pizza catering Auckland. Based in Auckland, we provide mobile pizza catering for weddings, private parties, corporate events and special celebrations across Auckland and selected surrounding regions.Our aim is simple: great pizza, beautifully presented, prepared fresh and cooked live at your venue. Because sometimes the best part of an event is not just what you eat, but the experience of watching it come to life.
Golden Fire Pizza was created from a simple idea: bring a little piece of Italy to the other side of the world.
After moving to New Zealand, Simon wanted to create something that combined his passion for pizza with the atmosphere of a great gathering. Rather than simply delivering food, Golden Fire was designed around the complete experience – fresh dough, quality ingredients, live cooking and an elegant mobile setup that becomes part of the event itself.
What started with a love of Neapolitan-style pizza developed into a mobile pizza catering Auckland experience created for people who care about food, presentation and memorable experiences.
Today, Golden Fire brings our mobile pizza catering Auckland experience directly to weddings, private celebrations and corporate events across Auckland and surrounding regions.
Golden Fire Pizza is built around a genuine passion for Neapolitan-style pizza and the experience of sharing it with others. For Simon, the journey started with a simple fascination with pizza and gradually developed into a deeper passion for the craft, the ingredients and the traditions behind it. He travelled to Naples several times, visiting different pizzerias, tasting their pizzas and carefully analysing what made each one unique from the dough and fermentation to the balance of sauces, cheese and toppings. Rather than simply following one recipe, Simon explored different approaches used by passionate pizzaioli and spent time understanding the techniques behind the pizza itself. He also trained with people who share a deep passion for pizza and many years of hands-on experience, learning directly from their knowledge, techniques and approach to the craft. Those experiences became the foundation for Golden Fire Pizza.
Today, Simon continues to refine the recipes, techniques and overall catering experience behind the brand, combining what he has learned from different pizza traditions with his own vision for modern mobile pizza catering in New Zealand. For Simon, pizza is about more than ingredients. It is about bringing people together. A wedding reception, a birthday in the garden, a family gathering or a corporate evening can all have the same thing in common: people standing around a table, talking, laughing, sharing food and enjoying the moment. That is what Golden Fire is here to create.
Neapolitan pizza comes from Naples, in Italy’s Campania region, where the craft of the pizzaiuolo
has been passed through generations. The Art of Neapolitan “Pizzaiuolo” was inscribed by UNESCO
on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017.
Unlike many modern styles of pizza, Neapolitan-style pizza is defined by simplicity, technique and
the quality of its ingredients.
The centre is traditionally thin and soft, while the outer crust – known as the cornicione – becomes
light, airy and beautifully developed during baking. Traditional specifications also emphasise a soft,
elastic dough and carefully distributed toppings.
It is a style of pizza that does not need to be overloaded.
The dough, tomato, cheese, olive oil and fresh herbs should work together rather than compete with
one another.
SIMPLE INGREDIENTS.
SERIOUS TECHNIQUE.
THE DOUGH.
The centre is kept thin while the outer edge is allowed to retain air and develop into the
characteristic cornicione. Traditional guidance describes a soft, elastic pizza that can be folded rather than becoming hard or brittle.
Traditional preparations use tomatoes, mozzarella or fior di latte, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil, with many ingredients associated with Campania and southern Italian cuisine. That philosophy influences our menu too. We believe pizza is at its best when quality ingredients are allowed to speak for themselves.
We believe the food should be part of the atmosphere.
Our mobile pizza station is designed to be elegant, efficient and visually engaging, rather than
something that simply sits in the corner of your venue.
Guests can watch the pizzas being prepared, see them go into the oven and enjoy them fresh from the oven.
The setup naturally creates a focal point and gives your guests something to experience, not simply something to eat.
That is why Golden Fire works particularly well for events where food and atmosphere are equally important.
Elegant mobile pizza catering for weddings, receptions and outdoor celebrations. Fresh Neapolitan-style pizza is prepared and cooked on site, creating a relaxed dining experience while our distinctive setup becomes part of the celebration.
