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.

Apparently these guys are well known for their pizzaS but tonight we did a takeaway of whole fish and a beef fillet - I thought it was really cool how they wrap the whole fish in tinfoil in the pizza box and the steak was perfectly done -medium rare - Would definitely recommend - they are restaurant priced takeaways but well worth it

We came to pipis on a Sunday night for our daughters 18th birthday after reading the reviews and checking the restaurant out... beautiful seating outside with a nice warm heater and blankets.... came in and it was semi busy... we ended up seating ourselves as we were missed not a problem... but the problem was it was verrrrrry busy and bustling and music was loud for our six month old baby so we ventured outside ended up eating an entree pizza it was burnt and floury and thin and cracker type pizza with hardly any toppings on it aloha was the pizza and quite expensive the service was rushed and could of been better.... highly disappointed and dissatisfied so we left... with a not a good feeling sorry but when you pay a big price for a crackerbaswd pizza and rushed service... it doesn’t feel good for the soul...

Wouldn’t get any takeaway from them any time soon. Very average and small, it’s overpriced for what it is. This place is overrated

I am very sorry you did not enjoy your takeaway,
While i am told we can't please everyone all the time, i would very much like to. And I take it very personally and seriously when people don't enjoy a pipicafe experience.
I would love the chance to redeem ourselves so please send your email address this address alexandrahelentylee@gmail.com, so i can send you a voucher which you can use to buy a takeaway or from Thursday dine in.
Thank you very much for your feed back

Such a cute restaurant, has a lovely atmosphere. Delicious pizzas. Everyone else must think so too because it’s always packed, you gotta book a table.

A must place to eat. The pizza bread is incredible. Always think I will just have a main course but the side dishes and deserts always get the better of me.
