Free pizza is on offer at a Christchurch store for anyone who has had at least one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The offer will be available at Spagalimis Pizzaria on Salisbury St this Saturday between 11am and 4pm.

Patrons will need to purchase a pint of beer, glass of wine, or a mocktail and they will get a six-piece pizza for free.

"No incentive should be needed to do the right thing for our country so look at this as a reward for being a good team player," a post on the business's Facebook page said.

It comes after another Christchurch business gave away free food for those who are vaccinated.

The region appears to be doing well in its vaccination efforts with about 82 per cent of Canterbury residents either fully vaccinated, having had a single dose or booked to receive their vaccination.

The Ministry of Health caveats that "whilst all care is taken to maintain accuracy, there may be some minor errors that should not impact on overall percentages".

A Canterbury District Health Board spokesperson said more than 375,000 residents have had at least their first dose and more than 238,000 had had their second dose.

"We want to keep this momentum going," they said.
