PIZZALUXE TO OPEN FLAGSHIP RESTAURANT

IN MANCHESTER THIS SUMMER

PizzaLuxe has confirmed it will be opening its brand new
flagship restaurant on 19 July in Manchester Arndale’s
Halle Place, the new £11M food quarter.
After receiving a £1.5M investment from Edition
Capital last year, the fast expanding pizza operator has
extended its offering and is launching its new £500,000
flagship branch, and Manchester Arndale’s first pizza &
cocktail bar, as part of its plan to build a core estate in
the north of England.
PizzaLuxe, which has been an anchor tenant of
award-winning Leeds Trinity Kitchen since it opened,
will occupy a 2,000sq ft corner plot on the lower level
of Manchester Arndale’s Halle Place, and will be the
first QSR in the UK with a full service cocktail bar. The
Manchester restaurant has been designed by founder
Paul Goodale, in conjunction with East London practice,
Hudson Rock Design.
Open daily, the pizza bar will serve fast, handmade
thin-crust pizza and fresh salads.
