“The decision to close at the end of March was a very difficult one but we really felt it was the responsible thing to do in light of government guidelines at the time and in order to ensure that our stores offered a safe environment for our staff to continue doing what they do best – making and delivering fresh and tasty pizzas to our loyal customers,” he said.
“We would like to thank all of our staff and customers for their patience and understanding and they can now be reassured that every precaution has been taken to ensure that their food is produced and delivered as safely as possible.”
