Poppa's Pizza has been part of Dunedin North since 1975, serving from its Albany Street pizzeria. The restaurant keeps its identity direct and informal: fresh dough, a house pizza sauce and a menu built for sharing. Dine-in and table booking preserve the experience of visiting the long-running shop, while pickup and delivery give regulars several practical ways to order from the same established kitchen.
The pizza list mixes familiar combinations with names developed by the restaurant. Poppa's Special loads ham, salami, pepperoni, vegetables, pineapple and olives onto one pie, while Hott'entot adds jalapeño and sweet Thai chilli to pepperoni. Cranbrie Chicken combines cranberry, brie and herbs, Markollo pairs seasoned chicken with garlic and sweet chilli, and Lazarus takes chicken in a more savoury direction with mushroom, olives, garlic and sage.
Classic choices remain well represented. Margherita keeps to tomato, cheese and herbs; Napoletana brings anchovy and olive; Marinara adds mussel, clam, prawn and squid. Vegetarian, Paesana and Funghi pizzas widen the meat-free range, and many recipes can be ordered on a gluten-free base. The current menu also marks several chicken and anchovy pizzas as halal, helping mixed groups navigate the selection more confidently.
The side list broadens a pizza visit beyond the main pie. Chips, onion rings and garlic bread include vegan, vegetarian or dairy-free options, while cheesy garlic bread and pizza bread suit sharing around the table. Vegan cheesy garlic bread provides a plant-based version of the richer side. Milkshakes and thickshakes cover chocolate, strawberry, banana, vanilla and mango, with juice, soft drinks and other cold beverages rounding out the drinks list.
