Customer testimonials

Peter Hurley

Hurley Hotel Group

“I had known Sebastian for years before our exclusive partnership with Galipo Foods began five years ago. We should have partnered sooner. Their culture and values align perfectly with ours—South Australian, family-owned, service-focused, and committed to community causes. They under-promise, over-deliver, and have earned national respect. We’re proud that all our chefs have Galipo Foods on speed dial.”

Marilyn Serafini

Manager, Ashley Court Retirement Village

I have been buying from Galipo Foods for approximately 8 years & have been very impressed with their service & staff. The deliveries are very prompt & if they ever make an error they make sure to fix it up. My Sales Representative (Adrian) has been extremely helpful, as have the drivers & office staff.

Ramzi Jarmakani

Owner, Yorktown Pizza

I have been dealing with Galipo Foods since 2006 & my father was beforehand since 1989. John Tsouvalas has been my sales rep since I started buying & he has been incredibly helpful. The pricing is competitive & they have very good stock availability. If there ever is a supply issue, they are quick to find a good substitution, so I am not left out of stock. When dealing with Galipo Foods I get a “family business feeling”. Even though they are a large company, the staff are very friendly & care like it is their own business.

Theo Kalogiannis

Owner, Corporate Platters.

We’ve partnered with Galipo Foods for 20+ years and their service is exceptional. Nick, our dedicated rep, ensures prompt communication and seamless support. Their drivers, especially Mark, are professional and courteous, making deliveries hassle-free. Galipo Foods consistently exceeds expectations with reliable service and a top-notch team. Highly recommend!
