Pizza Pilgrims, the pizzeria brand acquired last month by McWin-backed German pizza and pasta restaurant business L’Osteria, has confirmed it will open its new Birmingham restaurant in November.
Propel revealed in June that Pizza Pilgrims was set to further enhance its regional presence, with an opening in the city. The Gavin Smith-led business will launch the 114-seater venue in the former Tapas Revolution site in the Grand Central scheme on Monday, 3 November.
The opening will mean a transport hub debut of sorts for the brand, with the scheme being part of the city’s New Street station.
Founders Thom and James Elliot said: “We are really excited to be bringing Pizza Pilgrims to Birmingham – such a vibrant city with so much cultural and food heritage.
We are going to be right in the heart of the action in Grand Central – somewhere we have visited so many times on our numerous exploration trips.”
Pizza Pilgrims currently operates 26 pizzerias across the UK and recently opened inaugural sites in Wales (Cardiff) and Scotland (Edinburgh). New pizzerias are also due to open in Bristol and London’s King’s Cross in the near future.
