Pizza royalty Homeboy Pizza Co. are opening up a second Leeds site on Street Lane in Roundhay, and they're officially slinging out slices from this Saturday 28 June.
But that's not all, to celebrate this delicious new opening they're giving away 500 free slices of pie to the first customers in the queue.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Homeboy said: "Little Street Lane tid bit for the people of Roundhay & beyond.
"Next Saturday 28th at midday we will be opening the new shop for the first time but you can leave your dough at home. This one’s on us."
Not only that, but they'll also be handing out 50 free margarita cocktails to the first 50 people that want them and £500 in Homeboy gift vouchers to anyone in the queue who is following them.
So we'd double check your Instagram following list if we were you.
Taking over the former Harpo’s takeaway on Street Lane, we'd get there as early as possible if you want to be in the runnings for a free slice as we're positive these will go faster than you can say pizza.
A huge congratulations to Harry and the team, we can't wait to check out the new site.
And to the people of Roundhay - you're very lucky indeed.
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
