Description: Pipi is all about you the customer we don’t mind if you come in your muddy gumboots or your Gucci stilettos, or if you drink Bollinger with your pizza or house red. We are very lucky in Hawkes Bay to be surrounded by wonderful produce and wine and our menu very much reflects this, where possible everything is local and organic. We don’t take ourselves too seriously but we do take what we do very seriously. Using the best freshest ingredients and cooking them to best bring out their natural flavours. Pipi was born out of my love of my children and food and now 15 years later this has not changed at all and is still at the heart of everything we do.

Had heard good things and were excited to taste some yummy pizza.

However, the owner was rude and couldn't of cared less.

Half of our order was forgotten and when we went to pay the staff were barely apologetic.

A real shame.

Best pizzas In Hawkes bay without a doubt! A groovy atmosphere and quick efficient service!
Always go here to get the wilted greens pizza- would 100% recommend for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Good quality, local produce as well!

This place was a bit odd - seated at picnic tables with folks you don't know. It was very noisy - but the food was sensational. We had a pizza that was peaches, cheese, and a few other things (no meat). It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! They did a massive take-away business, presumably for the locals. The staff was friendly, but spread a bit thin. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Went here at the recommendation of a local B&B for dinner.

Great spot, busy and full of locals.

Casual environment, simple yet well prepared food.

We came here for dinner and didn't have to wait long at all for a table. The staff were very friendly and even though they were very busy more than one would always make sure we're ok.

The food was great, meatballs were a generous size and pizzas delicious. Definitely try the garlic pizza as a starter! Drinks are self serve through the fridges (except wine) and the desserts (recommend the sticky date pudding) were very good.

We had a great time and would definitely come back.
