Format date as dd/MM/yyyy using pipes

I'm using the date pipe to format my date, but I just can't get the exact format I want without a workaround. Am I understanding pipes wrongly or is just not possible?

//our root app component
import {Component} from 'angular2/core'

@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
providers: [],
template: `
<div>
<h2>Hello {{name}}</h2>
<h3>{{date | date: 'ddMMyyyy'}}, should be
{{date | date: 'dd'}}/{{date | date:'MM'}}/{{date | date: 'yyyy'}}</h3>

</div>
`,
directives: []
})
export class App {
constructor() {
this.name = 'Angular2'
this.date = new Date();
}
}
