Enjoyed pizza here as it was cheesy and full of flavour. The service was great and the atmosphere was lively. Very conveniently across the university and the prices aren’t too bad either.
Poppa's Pizza is a Dunedin institution. The BEST pizza in Dunedin, I dined here when I was a student now my kids eat here- how awesome is that!. Cant beat the lunch deals, and even though my student days are far beyond me, I still drop in for old times sake. Prices maybe higher than the likes of Pizza Hutt Dominoes etc, but you get "real ingredients, not plastic tasting" substitutes on the pizzas.
Best pizza in Dunedin, as far as I'm concerned. The gluten-free bases available are really nice and the toppings on the pizzas are generous and so tasty. They offer simple combinations but trust me, they work well. It doesn't take too long at all to get your pizza - the size and quality are worth every cent you pay for.
Definitely the best tasting pizzas in town in a lovely (but small) restaurant. I went here once in 2005 and the pizza was absolutely terrible, but I went there recently and enjoyed a very nice cheese and tomato pizza. The only negative point about this business... No plates!! You have to eat off of napkins. I will take my own plastic plates there next time, LOL. Overall, a very good restaurant.
Lovely place, lovely atmosphere and lovely food. I would recommend this pizza place to everyone for their terrific service and pizza of the highest quality. I have been back to Poppa's Pizza several times and not once have I been disappointed. The only complaint I can make about this place is the sky-rocketing prices (though the quality of the food makes up for it) and the cramped environment.
My dad used to rave about poppa’s pizza when we were growing up (as our family had moved away from Dunedin) but I was pleasantly surprised to return to it 20+ years later and find that they still make absolutely bomb pizzas. So delicious. Thank you for living up to 20+ years of personal hype 😂 The poppa’s special is especially great and so is the Parmesan covered garlic bread. We bought a pepperoni to reheat in the oven the next day which was also really good. Thank you!!
Delicious pizza, location is handy, decorations are on point and they embrace their role as the best scarfie pizza place. Have gone many times and they have never disappointed :)

Pippa's Pizza has been around since 1975. It was therefore around when I went to Otago University in 1977, but I have absolutely no memory of it. This is probably because I am of Scottish heritage and therefore avoided paying for anything as a student. Well, here we are in 2023, and we tried Poppa's on a wet Easter night. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The menu is interesting - I would call the pizza style "regional", by which I mean that it seems to be rather specific to Albany Street, but probably not to Italian pizza style. Having said that, it filled up the two students we had on hand, so that is saying something. You can even get a beer or wine there too - students these days are clearly more sophisticated than I ever was! So, overall, good solid food. Will fill you up, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable (if not cheap) prices, and great for a get-together between bouts of biochemistry or business studies at the information centre across the street. Just don't take your native Italian therefore a traditional pizza...
Love the pizza, the cheesy garlic bread is amazing, and the whole atmosphere is relaxed and cool!
Great little pizza place. Brilliant pizzas, some of the best in town and very reasonable. Small, basic seating but really good and an amazing selection.
Best pizza in Dunedin….maybe even all of NZ. Yes a bit more expensive than say Domino’s…but you get quality toppings.
Pretty good pizza and cost effective. Cheap drinks too. Nice windows which open to the north [ish]. Went there after an event at Forsyth Barr and it was one of the only open places.
Excellent and efficient service! Best 🍕 slices around especially at 10pm when you're a postgrade student trying to get ready-made food on the go.
Good pizzas and friendly staff!!! Recommended
