Whitby Coliseum launches new community pizza cafe

The Pizza Pals cafe, a Community Interest Company, will run initially on Thursday November 30 - where you can also catch the hit movie Oppenheimer at the Coliseum cinema - and on December 6, from 4pm to 8pm, when Barbie will screen.

Starting at just £5, there are a range of Neapolitan pizzas available, with vegetarian options included – and jalapenos can be added for a small charge if you like them fiery!

Hannah Coulson, company director of Pizza Pals, explained the reason why the cafe was set up.

"I’ve worked in social care for a long time,” she said.

“It’s nice to give something back to the local community that will hopefully be a service enjoyed by the locals of Whitby.

“Pizza pals is designed to be used by anyone in the local community.

"We aim to provide delicious pizzas at affordable prices and to create a warm welcoming space for people to access in an evening and personally feel we need more places where locals on a low income can go and make use of community buildings, so they can keep running, in a safe, warm space.

Clients of Carers Plus Yorkshire, including carers, will be able to make the most of that via its restology offer.

Pizza Pals will see how the first couple of weeks go then decide how regularly they’d like to run the venture in the new year.

Vegan cheese and gluten free base pizzas are available to pre-order only.
