We find exact solutions describing Ricci flows of four-dimensional pp-waves nonlinearly deformed by two-/three-dimensional solitons. Such solutions are parametrized by five-dimensional metries with generic off-diagonal terms and connections with nontrivial torsion which can be related, for instance, to antisymmetric tensor sources in string gravity. There are defined nontrivial limits to four-dimensional configurations and the Einstein gravity.
