Local legend John Kapiris, known for his thriving business St Bernard’s Fruit and Veg, is taking a slice out of the hospitality industry with the launch of his latest venture—Kapiris Land.
Opening on Payneham Road, the new pizza bar delivers unique, affordable, and unforgettable pizza experiences for the Adelaide community.
For Kapiris, this venture is more than just business—it’s a dream come true.
“St Bernard’s was a stepping stone, a learning phase. I’ve wanted to open a pizza bar for over a decade, and now it’s finally happening,” Mr Kapiris shares.
With his roots firmly planted in fresh produce, Kapiris brings his passion for quality ingredients and local sourcing to the new venture.
He is committed to keeping the business local, partnering with South Australian suppliers for everything from toppings and meats to custom-designed delivery boxes.
“At every opportunity throughout this project, we have engaged local businesses. We’re keeping the money here, creating jobs, and showcasing the best our state has to offer.
“This isn’t just a pizza bar. It’s about bringing people together, creating something memorable, and supporting South Australian producers every step of the way,” Mr Kapiris shares.
But Kapiris Land isn’t your average pizza joint. Kapiris delivers a menu that combines budget-friendly classics with daring innovations.
Whether you’re a pizza purist or an adventurous eater, there’s something for you. Catering to a diverse range of dietary needs, the menu will include gluten-free pizzas and an extensive range of halal options.
As an added bonus, the pizza bar will deliver across Adelaide, reaching the North, South, East, and West.
The fruit and vegetable aficionado has also found a bold new approach to pizza making and delivery, ensuring his creations are one of a kind.
Kapiris has a clear vision for Kapiris Land: it’s not just about food—it’s about legacy. In fact, he already has plans to open four more stores across Adelaide within the next two years. Each store will be family-run, cementing the business as a generational venture.
But his ambitions don’t stop there. Kapiris also plans to expand Kapiris Land interstate, with franchising opportunities and a future menu boasting everything from crowd favourites to never-seen-before flavours.
With his trademark passion and commitment to community, Kapiris is ready to share his dream—and his pizzas—with Adelaide.
Get ready, Adelaide. Kapiris Land is just the beginning.
