A popular San Franciscan sourdough pizza brand is opening a restaurant in Liverpool's city centre.
Pizza Punks, which boasts six venues across the UK, has chosen Liverpool's bustling Bold Street as the location for its seventh restaurant. The new 170-cover restaurant will open in September, joining the ranks of the brand's much-loved Glasgow, Belfast, Leicester and Durham sites.
Bold Street is famed for its eclectic food and drink offerings, with a range of restaurants, cafes and bars to suit all manner of tastes. Pizza Punks' new restaurant will be its largest in the UK.

The Bold Street restaurant will feature a new grab and go kiosk at the rear of the building, and an additional 30-covers of outdoor seating. The restaurant will also have regular DJs and live music, as well as neon lights, artwork, monochrome brick tiles and a stripped back aesthetic in a bid to create a cool and enticing setting.
Advocates of freedom and expression, Pizza Punks offers a distinctive pizza experience – create your own - with 35 unlimited toppings to choose from, all made from scratch in the Pizza Punks kitchens. All for one flat fee with no extra costs, customers can indulge in handmade in-house pizza. Pizza Punks Liverpool also offers Halal, vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options.
At the helm of the restaurant is the brand's handcrafted San Franciscan pizza dough; a unique dough that's proofed for 48-hours to generate maximum flavour and finished with San Marzano tomato, basil and garlic sauce, a smattering of mozzarella and the addition of house-toppings. It's then cooked in wood-fired ovens for the ultimate thin and crispy base, with a chewy, thick crust.
New to the Pizza Punks offering and available at the Liverpool site, customers can try fresh pasta, hand-made in the restaurant each day. As with the brand's bespoke approach to pizza, guests will be given the option to punk up their pasta with a choice of sauces and the finest Italian ingredients. Guests can choose from toppings such as Nduja, Tuscan sausage and salt & chilli chicken. Pizza Punks Liverpool will also offer craft beers and in-house cocktails.
Pizza Punks founder, Brad Stevens said: "Pizza Punks Liverpool will be our seventh site in the UK, and we can't wait to share the Pizza Punks experience with the city. At Pizza Punks we do things differently, our customers have the freedom to make the experience their own – they can punk up their pizza or pasta with unlimited, quality toppings for no extra charge.
"We want families and friends to visit and have the best time. For us, it is about providing excellent quality ingredients, unrivalled levels of customer service and most importantly, having fun; we want our guests to enjoy some great food, drinks and music with us."
Pizza Punks was awarded the UK's 'Best Italian' takeaway eatery last year in the Deliveroo restaurant awards, voted for by Deliveroo customers. And its city centre restaurants are all ranked number one on Trip Advisor in Glasgow, Belfast and Newcastle.
