Pa-Pi Pasta and Pinsa is a new Italian restaurant is opening in Huddersfield and it's set to be one of the best-value places to eat.
The latest installment to Hudderfield town's foodie scene is set to open within the next month, and they're bringing incredible Italian flavours without the price tag.
Shipping in pasta straight from the motherland and opting to serve up Pinsa-style pizza, Pa-Pi Pasta and Pinsa is an original concept that will focus on quality and price.
With an appetising menu, the pasta menu is in a pick 'n' mix style, rather like an indie version of Subway or Barburrito, except a fresh, homemade version. First you choose one of nine pasta shapes, then one of the eight sauces.
Offering a whopping 72 different combinations of pasta, the restaurants is focusing on providing limitless options at an unbeatable price: just £7.99.
There's all the classics you need to find the perfect combo with flavours like ragu, carbonara, four cheese, porcini mushroom white sauce, spicy, vegetable and a traditional tomato and basil offering available.
Pinsa which translates to 'push the dough by hand', is a type of rectangular pizza that's made from three different flours and easy to digest. The Pinsa menu is filled with traditional Italian treats and just still comes in under £8.
Expect dough topped with fior de latte mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, tuna, mixed peppers, chili and oregano, named the Murazzano.
Alternatively, guests will be able to opt for the Castello, a barbecue sauce base with chicken, mixed peppers and fior de latte mozzarella, amongst other classic combinations that resemble a modern four seasons, margarita or seafood variety.
If that's not enough, there will be plenty of appetisers to compliment the carb-filled menu with, even more carbs. Apart from the staple French Fries (priced at just £1.99), there's still a full range of authentic Italian dishes like focaccias with rosemary and balsamic vinegar, arancini ragu with parmsean and deep fried mozzarella.
Pa-Pi Pasta and Pinsa hopes to attract everyone from students to families with their competitive prices. The restaurant will be open from 11.30am until 10pm each day and delivery will be available to those in the surrounding area- just not quite as far as Leeds unfortunately.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”

We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
