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.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
