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.

Located just thirty minutes from Leeds city centre, you can bet that this is going to be a menu worth travelling for.
The restaurant is now in Huddersfield town centre near the Slug and Lettuce on King Street.

A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food

What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
