Pizza Express is coming to Formby within the month

We have today had confirmation that a brand new Pizza Express will be opening in Formby in 3 to 4 weeks.

There will also be new jobs and the company has already started recruiting for management.

The design of the Pizza Express will also be heavily influenced by life in Formby and the company usually uses locally sourced goods.

Pizza Express is expected to open the new venue within three to four weeks.

We were told it will be opening in the Beacons on Halsall Lane in the old Michael Moons shop which is next door but one to Dominoe's Pizza. A spokesperson for Pizza Express said "A bit of healthy competition for both of us will be good".

With a heritage spanning nearly 50 years, PizzaExpress is a company that continues to remain at the top of its game. With 'Pizza in Style' at the backdrop of everything we do, we are committed to delighting our customers with what we believe are truly authentic, top quality pizzas and serving them with fantastic levels of service. We now employ over 10,000 people in over 400 restaurants across the UK and under our Milano branding in Ireland.

The new Formby shop will include a pizza menu, children’s meals, a takeaway service, a drinks menu and it also offers lighter “low fat” pizzas.

A Pizza Express spokeswoman said: “The design is always very personal to the area so we would normally inspiration from the local area for the art work.

“We sometimes use local art work. We also sometimes use local photographers and artists to supply it for our residents.

“It’s always heavily influenced by the local area so it won’t look anything like any other Pizza Express. It will look very personal.

“We are very excited to be opening up there and look forward to people coming for a visit and we look forward to people checking out our new restaurant.”

Founder Peter Boizot launched the first Pizza Express in London in 1965.

He was inspired after a visit to Northern Italy, where he tasted his first pizza in 1948 and since then a chain of restaurants have opened.

A Pizza Express spokeswoman said: “We open a restaurant where we feel there is a demand and where we find a good site.”
