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.

It's not just sandwiches, though. They're also serving up fantastic Cuban coffee, beer and even Cuban cigars.
Basically, it's everything you'd expect to find in a deli in Miami.
The team shared the news of the expansion on social media, confirming that a brand-new Horsforth site is on the way.
While an official opening date is yet to be revealed, the announcement has already sparked plenty of excitement among loyal customers, many of whom have been calling for a second location since the deli first opened.
Alfonso's has built a devoted following in Leeds, with its signature Cubano sandwich becoming a firm favourite, while its breakfast bagels draw queues of hungover punters through the doors.
The move to Horsforth marks the next chapter for the independent business, bringing its popular menu to a whole new neighbourhood. And they're in fantastic company too, in a suburb that is flourishing with independent local businesses.
If the success of the Grand Arcade site is anything to go by, the new deli is likely to be just as busy from day one. More details, including an opening date and the full menu, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Good luck to the team, we can't wait to check it out.
Miniature tiramisu drawers have landed in Leeds
Clementine Hall
The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.
And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.
You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.
