New pizza takeway and restaurant set to open its doors in Doncaster city centre

Nero Pizza will open in The Wool Market on December 15, bosses at the venue have announced.

It comes just a few months after another pizza stall, The Rustic Pizza Co, announced it was leaving the Wool Market.

A spokesman said: “Nero Pizza is the new pizza stall in The Wool Market.

"Nero is a successful small business who specialise in making authentic Neapolitan pizza with fresh, house made dough and top quality Italian products to bring you the ultimate Italian experience.

“They are a must visit for all you pizza lovers.”

“So if you’re craving delicious pizza, head over to Nero Pizza.”

The stall will open at 11am on Friday.

A Nero Pizza spokesman said: “We are grateful for the ongoing support we have been given thanks to our customers from our current running kitchens, and we are excited for the opportunities that have opened up for our business and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. See you soon The Wool Market.”

Earlier this year, The Rustic Pizza Co blamed spiralling rent and electricty costs for the closure of its Wool Market outlet and followed the recent opening of its restaurant branch at Lakeside.

Announcing the news on social media, a spokesman said: “It’s with sadness we announce that as of 29 October, our Wool Market stall will close. A lot of you may think this is because of the Lakeside restaurant but unfortunately it is not.

"We would like to thank all our customers who visited us at the Wool Market - it was our first fixed venue and we have had an absolute blast over the last 4.5 years. We have met some amazing customers who have now become friends.”

Revealing details of a letter sent to the firm by market operators MAM, Rustic Pizza Co bosses say spiralling costs forced the closure, adding: "We wish all the traders in there all the success but for now we focus on our new venture.”
