It’s not about us at Black Rabbit Pizza!We purchased Black Rabbit Pizza 4 months after the Kaikoura earthquake. The then owner had closed the shop and was advertising to sell the plant, we went to look at buying a freezer, and instantly fell in love with this beautiful unique restaurant, it would have been a shame to break any of it up, so we purchased it complete.
