New York-style pizza business plans to open first Leeds takeaway after successful bar pop-up
A New York-style pizza joint has applied for planning permission to open its first takeaway in Leeds.
Edges Pizza has applied to set up shop in a vacant railway arch at Fourth Court on Bridge Road in the city’s up-and-coming Holbeck area.
Pizzas would be pre-ordered online from the takeaway near the city’s South Bank area if planning permission is granted by Leeds City Council.
A planning report said the applicant had been successful in a residency at Green Room bar on nearby Wellington Street last summer.
It said: “The proposal would enable the applicant to establish a permanent premises for an existing small business currently operating through temporary residency and pop-up venues within Leeds.
“The proposal offers investment into the immediate area that sits adjacent to the South Bank regeneration area.”
The premises would serve a growing city centre population, bring a vacant unit back into use and create two jobs, the report said.
It said: “Development of the South Bank is underway, with around 3,800 homes completed or under construction and a further 3,000 in the planning process.
“The site therefore sits within a highly sustainable location and will add to the offer of the expanding limits of the city centre’s residential population.”
The council is considering a full planning application which is out for consultation until April 30.
