The two new restaurants situated in St. Anne’s Square and Upper Newtownards Road in Ballyhackamore, brings the number of Pizza Express restaurants in the city to five, employing a total of 160 staff.

Zoe Bowley, UK Operations Director at Pizza Express commented that the expansion cemented the brand’s commitment to Northern Ireland; “The restaurant industry in Northern Ireland is thriving, with quality and value in the fore when it comes to consumer decision making. The demand for our quality offering is such that we have seen the opportunity to expand in the city centre in to St. Anne’s Square, and to Ballyhackamore Village in the East of the city.
