It's not about us at Black Rabbit Pizza! We purchased Black Rabbit Pizza 4 months after the Kaikoura earthquake. The then owner had closed the shop and was advertising to sell the plant, we went to look at buying a pizza oven, and instantly fell in love with this beautiful unique restaurant, it would have been a shame to break any of it up, so we purchased it complete. We know that you'll love it as much as we do! We are a small family business, with friendly staff and our aim is to please you. We pride ourselves in quality and the high standard we offer to our customers. Everything is cooked and prepared onsite fresh daily. We are situated in our beautiful town of Kaikoura, with the view of the mountains and the smell of the sea.

(Under New Management, from December 14, 2023 plz ignore the old bad reviews) At the Tipsy Foodies in Kaikoura, we believe we have created delicious food which can be easily adapted to suit a variety of dietary requirements. (GLUTEN FREE AND DAIRY FREE)We intentionally created a menu with this flexibility based on the concept of the business. This is achieved with our homemade style cooking, Our Burgers are very 'Kiwi' style, with homemade sauces & patties. Our Souvlaki is Greek-style, with homemade flatbread & tzatziki and Hummus. we recently expanded to include PIZZA catering to a variety of tastes and dietary needs.
