Cardiff favourite Dusty's Pizza is set to open a new venue in the capital months after being forced to close their flagship branch due to soaring costs and huge losses incurred during the pandemic. The popular pizzeria shut with immediate effect in December with its owners, husband and wife Deb and Phill Lewis, describing the closure as "heartbreaking".
However, as they announced their decision to close their branch in The Bone Yard in Canton, the couple remained hopeful that the business would return "in the not so distant future in some form". Just three months on, plans for a new home for Dusty's in Llanishen have now been approved.
The new venue will open on the site of a former shop on Llangranog Road after an application to convert the ground floor of the currently vacant space into a food and drink unit was given the go-ahead by Cardiff council.
