Whether you’re refuelling after a night on the lash, working odd hours or craving Asian food at some ungodly hour, Auckland has restaurants open until and past midnight.
Located in trendy Snickel Lane, this ethical fast food joint serves burgers and fries – the beef burger is made with mock soya meat but tastes very similar to the real thing.
Hell Pizza
HELL Pizza has been delivering pizza, pasta and salads to Auckland residents for more than 30 years. The New Zealand chain’s edgy campaigns often make headlines, but not always for good reasons. The company’s latest campaign, which urged Greta Thunberg to “go to Hell”, was met with several complaints.
Unlike other food delivery companies, which tend to focus on their products, Hell Pizza took a different approach to its marketing. Its viral video featured a brave courier named Steve trying to deliver pizza across a city full of zombies. Each time viewers clicked on a button to send Steve and his pizza toward a safer fate, they received vouchers for free Coke. The campaign saw a surge in online order tickets.
Asian Kitchen
A fun-filled family restaurant with a playful atmosphere and mouthwatering food. This modern Asian restaurant is child friendly and serves Chinese, Thai and Yum Cha food. Kids will love the catlike BellaBot robot that provides service. It can also sing Happy Birthday for your little one.
Lena, founder of this Auckland-based company, is on a mission to make healthy Asian comfort food more accessible. She believes that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice flavor for health, so she works with customers who may have dietary restrictions to provide delicious meals.
This popular New Zealand-based app allows you to order from a large range of local restaurants. It offers delivery from big names like Maccas and Subway, and plenty of hidden gems as well. It also has a helpful live ETA feature to track your order. They also have an option to split payments between multiple credit cards and can accept cash on delivery.

Lord of the Fries
The vegetarian fast food franchise Lord of the Fries has a strong presence in Australia and New Zealand. It offers vegan versions of traditional fast food, including burgers, hot dogs, nuggets, and fries (chips). It also serves vegan shakes and ice cream.
The chain’s appeal lies in the fact that it mimics the appearance, taste, and ease of consumption of meaty products. Moreover, its ingredients are plant-based and free from animal cruelty. The company sources its plant-based patties from local producer Sunfed Meats. Its burger buns and sauces are made from local flour.
To become a franchisee, one needs to have a passion for people and the planet and a willingness to work hard. It is also beneficial to have business management experience. However, LOTF provides training and support to its franchisees. Applicants must also have good customer service and leadership skills. To find out more, visit Greater Than Games.
