Fat Pipi Pizza is one of the most-rated restaurants in the Hokita. If you’re after good Kiwi food that’s not too expensive and will actually fill you up (unlike fine-dining portions that’ll leave you needing a post-dinner trip to the drive-thru), you’ll be glad you stopped!

Now, I’m going to need all the Italians to look away, as this place is absolutely not authentic. But their pizzas are unique, their bases are made on site, and all of their ingredients are sourced locally where possible. One of their most popular combos is smoked chicken, cream cheese, and apricot sauce. If you’re into seafood, they have a whitebait pizza that’s served with garlic butter, capers, and lemon.

If you’d prefer to take your dinner to go, they’re a couple of minutes walk down to the Hokitika sign on the beachfront.
