Hugely popular North Tyneside pizza restaurant announces expansion into Newcastle
A popular North Tyneside restaurant has announced its plans to expand into Newcastle.
Initially announced as a way to tease the move, Pigalo’s, which sits on Nile Street in North Shields, confirmed the news this week.
Taking to social media, the brand said: Guess what! Chicago deep dish is coming to your city!”
It added: “Pigalo’s Newcastle coming soon!”
The restaurant is well known for its pizza and burger offerings, and is often considered among some of the best restaurants across North Tyneside.
Pizzas on offer include thin base and chicago style deep dish pies and burgers.
Pigalo’s started in 2020 with a range of beef burgers and chicken stacks as an American restaurant, offering US style food to North Tyneside as it went through various Covid 19 lockdowns.
However, it was later when the restaurant really came into its own. Following the decision to add Chicago deep dish pizzas to its offering - one of the only places on Tyneside to add the dish to its menu - virality ensued.
The site is now arguably best known for its extra-cheesy pizzas inspired by the medwest American city. It currently welcomes customers to its Nile Street restaurant in North Shields while also offering delivery options.
It is not yet known what where the Newcastle restaurant will be based.
