New pizza restaurant planning move into Peterborough to take on takeaway giants
A brand new pizza restaurant is set to open in Peterborough later this year.
Work has already begun on Austin’s Dad Pizza, which will be moving into the Werrington centre.
The business has been confirmed as the third occupier of the new retail units created from the conversion of the former Ploughman pub.
The other two units will be occupied by Greggs and Card Factory, although neither business has opened yet despite confirming their purchases of the units some time ago.
Austin's Dad Pizza has been founded by entrepreneur Will McIlroy, who already plans to open its second store in the former Adnams beer shop on Bath Row in Stamford.
Will has been active across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube discussing his plans for the restaurant, which will have seats for around 30 people as well as an extensive delivery service.
Austin’s Dad Pizza is expected to open in December and will be available its own app; which is currently being built in California. It is expected to have voice activated ordering and be available in a couple of months.
Will has already pledged to a charity initiative, which will see free food being served all day on Christmas Day.
The restaurant will around 1100 square metres and serve range of pizzas, fried chicken and burgers.
