About Us

History

Pandoro has operated in New Zealand for 22 years being set up by its original founders to produce and retail the highest quality authentic Italian artisan breads and cakes. The business began from humble beginnings as a small bakery at the top of Parnell Rise in Auckland where the product was baked out the back of the store and then retailed out front. The business grew based on word of mouth and by the superb quality and differentiation that was offered by the handmade bakery products.

The business soon outgrew the premises and a separate wholesale bakery was established as demand grew from restaurants, cafes, lunch bars, caterers and others that wanted Pandoro products to fulfill their special needs.

Since then the operation has expanded to five retail outlets in Auckland and a duplication of the operation in Wellington with a wholesale bakery and two retail outlets.

The business now employs 200 people and remains true to the original formula of providing premium bakery products with exceptional service. Pandoro has the capability to produce a wide variety of Breads, Cakes, Pastry and Sandwich products.

Pandoro remains a family owned, independent bakery with a focus on natural, organically produced products.
