Pizza Express restaurant it set to open in Formby this Monday
Pizza Express restaurant is set to open in Formby village on Monday 13th February 2017.
The brand new Pizza Express is in what used to be the Dorothy Perkins shop on Chapel Lane right in the heart of the village and has brought 25 additional new jobs to our community.
The menu will include a pizza menu, children’s meals, a takeaway service, a drinks menu and it also offers lighter “low fat” pizzas.
A spokesperson for Pizza Express Formby said: "We're delighted to be opening a stunning new restaurant here in Formby, bringing a refreshing mixture of classic design with a modern twist to the area.
She went on to say: "The design draws heavy inspiration from the coastal environment and boasts a brand new open kitchen area, which will be great for our younger guests to see our Pizzaiolos flaring our famous dough!"
.“We are very excited to be opening up in Formby and look forward to people coming for a visit. If you're in the area, pop in and say hello! We're open from 11.30am on Monday 13th February."
The Pizza Express shop in Formby also boasts a beautiful outdoor seating area.
This is not the first time that Pizza Express have said they were opening and then changed their minds. In January 2011, the Southport Visiter reported that the pizza company was to open a brand new 100 seater two-floor eatery that will seat 100 people. They pulled out of that and then Southport Visiter again reported in February 2014 that the restaurant chain would be opening its doors at The Beacons on Halsall Lane offering 15 new jobs.
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.”
A Pizza Express voucher is available in our newspaper, cut it out and take it in for a main and a drink for just £10 from 13th February to 17th March 2017
