La Pizza

La Pizza takes a small Market Place unit in the centre of Thorne, the historic Yorkshire market town a few minutes' walk from the Norman castle motte and St Nicholas' Church that mark the old village core. The shop has been on the Market Place since the chef-director took over the unit in September 2010, trading the standard Italian-leaning takeaway pizza format — pizzas in the takeaway sizes with the familiar topping list, plus kebabs, burgers and the loaded-chip sides that have become unavoidable on village pizza menus in this part of South Yorkshire. The Market Place position puts La Pizza in the central foot-traffic catchment between the Thorne shops, the Thorne North rail station and the canal-side terraces — a different trading pitch from the village pizza shops out on Marshland Road in Moorends. Companies House records La Pizza Takeaway Limited (company number 07379136) as the registered operating entity, giving the shop more than a decade and a half of continuous Companies House activity from a single Thorne unit.
