Catalysis of the reaction: 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate + O2 = homogentisate + CO2. Catalysis of the incorporation of both atoms of oxygen from one molecule of O2 into the (reduced) substrate. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from one donor, and two oxygen atoms is incorporated into a donor. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from one donor, and molecular oxygen is incorporated into a donor.
