Our Story

Pizza runs in the family.

Pizza Dose is the work of James (Settada) Suesakun — a well-known face around Whangamata with a serious passion for proper wood-fired pizza.

James's mum Nok and stepdad Paul once owned a wood-fired pizzeria in Thailand, where Paul fell in love with the artisan craft and began teaching James in 2020. Two years of training and a Pizza Master Class with Maestro Vito Iacopelli later, James is banging out high-quality pizzas from a custom wood-fired truck.

Every base is made from Paul's organic sourdough starter and slow-fermented for three days — light and easy to digest. The tomatoes and cheese come from Italy, the cured meats from Italy and Spain. Quality you can taste.

Why Pizza Dose

Made the slow way, the right way.

Real Wood Fire

Cooked over flame for a crisp, blistered base and that unmistakable wood-fired flavour.

3-Day Sourdough

Organic sourdough starter, slow-fermented over three days — light and easy to digest.

Italian & Spanish

Tomatoes and cheese from Italy, cured meats from Italy and Spain. Quality you can taste.

Catering & Events

We bring the wood-fired truck to weddings, parties and events around the region.
