San Carlo Flying Pizza is back with a brand new look, and you're going to want to check it out.
If you're local to the Leeds area, there's no doubt that you will have visited the iconic San Carlo Flying Pizza restaurant in Roundhay.
The eatery has been part of Leeds' heritage since first opening its doors all the way back in 1974, and it re-opened its doors just a few weeks ago following a sparkling refurbishment.
The refit, which has been designed in-house and is custom to San Carlo Flying Pizza, draws inspiration from the group's successful Alderley Edge establishment, whilst paying homage to the original features of the well-known and loved San Carlo Flying Pizza.

Beautiful terrazzo floors inspired by traditional Italian villas in Lake Como, retro signage, plush leather seating and of course framed photos lining the spiral staircase heralding back to times gone by.
Bespoke artwork celebrating local artists is on display as well as a brand new shellfish instalment which plays homage to San Carlo Flying Pizza’s longstanding display.
Boasting 130 covers, diners can expect a wonderful atmosphere whether dining during the day or in the evening.

And the new summer menu does not disappoint either, from the creamy Burrata e Pomodoro to the beautifully light lemon sole with clams and asparagus, there's a dish for everyone to enjoy whilst taking in the wonderful atmosphere.
Coupled with the very best Italian hospitality, diners can expect a truly authentic experience at the new San Carlo Flying Pizza.
The perfect spot for a leisurely lunch, evening meal with friends or a place to celebrate with family.

Marcello Distefano, CEO at San Carlo, commented: “San Carlo Flying Pizza is such an iconic restaurant within the local community, it was only right we give it the revamp it deserved.
"We have such a fiercely loyal customer base within the local area and beyond, so the aim of our refurb is to ensure we maintain our status as Leeds' most renowned Italian restaurant as we cater to locals and those who travel from afar to dine with us.

“We hope our guests have a true authentic Italian dining experience with us – conveyed not only through our carefully crafted food and drink, but through the décor and ambience too.”

Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
