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 freezer, 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.
