Reviews summary
Nestled in Balclutha, this pizzeria boasts a varied reputation that leaves diners divided. Many praise the delightful thin crust and generous toppings, particularly enjoying specialties like the Pepperoni and Mexican pizzas. However, inconsistencies have surfaced, with some customers encountering poorly executed orders—sparse cheese and toppings have led to disappointment. Still, stellar service and kid-friendly options, including surprise goodie bags, add to its charm. While some may opt for frozen alternatives after a less-than-ideal experience, others enthusiastically return for the fresh flavors and reasonable prices. Ultimately, Balclutha’s pizzeria remains a hit-or-miss dining choice.

Popped in mid roadtrip from Christchurch following a recommendation and glad we did! Best pizzas we've had in a while at a great price. Highly recommend both the Pepperoni and the Mexican. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner View all feedback.
What Sue Mansworth dislikes about Rusticus:
Had 2 pizzas from $15 range. Lovely thin, crisp bases toppings were tasty plentiful. Great job guys everyone enjoyed phoned order was ready in 15mins. Unfortunately I visited again while in Balclutha had a totally different experience!! There was hardly any cheese on pizzas, so when you picked it up all the toppings fell onto table toppings were sparse, really disappointed won't go back again!!! Service: Take out View all feedback.

Pizza's here are to die for. Honestly unmatched competition. They take pride in their pizza's and it shows! They are not always open most days which is unfortunate but I'm sure if they could, they would be. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$20–30

I received my first pizza here for free, which was a pleasant surprise. I didn't find it burnt at all, just perfectly crispy. Thank you for the generous gesture!
