🍕 YOU ASKED… SO WE’RE BRINGING THE PIZZAS BACK! 🍕

When we made the decision to remove pizzas from our menu, it wasn’t an easy one.

Like many hospitality businesses, we’ve seen the cost of quality ingredients, wages, gas and just about everything involved in running a restaurant continue to rise. At the time, we had to make some difficult decisions to make sure we could continue focusing on the quality and experience we want Olive Branch to be known for.

But there’s one thing we’ve heard again and again since then…

“When are the pizzas coming back?!” 😂🍕

Well… they’re coming back.

We’ve had so many people asking for them that we’ve decided it’s time to fire things back up and return some of your favourites to the menu.

We do want to be transparent, though. With the increased cost of ingredients and running a restaurant today, our pizzas will be returning at updated prices. We’ve worked hard to keep them as fair as possible while still making sure every pizza helps cover the very real costs behind it: our team, our rent, our gas, our ingredients, and everything else that keeps the doors open.

We know everyone is feeling the rising cost of living, so increasing prices is never something we take lightly.

But if you’re going to spend your hard-earned money with us, we want to make sure you’re getting something freshly made, generously portioned and genuinely worth it.

Most importantly, we want to say thank you.

Every meal, every booking, every recommendation and every person who chooses to support a locally owned restaurant makes a difference.

So Whakatāne…

Get ready. The pizzas are coming back Tuesday 18th of August 🍕❤️
