Dough Club, a Manchester-based Detroit-style pizzeria, is planning to open up in Leeds.
It's safe to say that we've already got plenty of pizza shops here in Leeds...but, one more can't hurt can it?
Especially when it looks as good as this one.
Dough Club is a Detroit-style pizza restaurant famed for their chewy, thick, cheesy crusts that are loaded with all the toppings imaginable.

Describing themselves on their website, Dough Club say: "Welcome to Dough Club, where flavor meets affordability in every slice. At Dough Club, we believe that everyone deserves a delicious, high-quality pizza experience without breaking the bank.
"Whether you're craving just a slice or a full pan, we've got you covered with our signature Detroit-style pizza."
They've got three locations over in Manchester, and now they have set their sights on Leeds. I mean, can you blame them?

Dough Club submitted a planning application to Leeds City Council last last month, proposing to convert a massage clinic on Burley Road into a takeaway.
The supporting documents read: “The site is currently used as a Thai Massage shop, which is still in operation, however looking to relocate.
“The proposed development would change the existing use by allowing it to be used as a hot food take-away, using a franchise model offered by an expanding company called Dough Club.”
It continued: "The proposed use is welcome a professional expanding national franchise brand looking for new locations throughout the country.
“The applicant is an experienced operator in this field, already operating other food related businesses and wishes to bring this brand to a local area in Leeds where demand for this type of service is high.”
The planning application is now open for comments and will be until Tuesday 23 September, and you can have your say here.
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.”
