Homeboy Pizza Co: Leeds pop-up pizza business opens first brick-and-mortar shop in Burley today
A new pizza shop has opened in Leeds.
Taking over the former Harpo’s Pizza in Burley, Homeboy Pizza Co, a pop-up business serving different styles of pizza, opened its doors to the public today (Friday, June 7).
It is the business’ first ever permanent shop in the city and offers a range of New York-style pizza in a number of different sizes as well as wings, fries and homemade mozzarella dippers.
Founder Harry Pykett told the Yorkshire Evening Post he is excited to welcome people into the new transformed space.
Harry said: “We've been going for three years now and one of the biggest questions we get is, ‘where can we find you guys when you're not doing events?’
“To be able to say, we've got our own shop and to point them in one direction, it makes sense.
“It has all come at the right time. We've put many, many hours and years of grafting to now actually feel confident that we've got a good enough following and we've got a good enough product to open a shop.”
Homeboy Pizza Co was founded in 2021 and currently serves Detroit-style pizza at Call Lane bar Roland’s and its sister site in Harrogate. It has quickly become one of the top businesses in Leeds for a pizza.
