A quaint pizza takeaway a stone's throw from one of Wales' most gorgeous beaches is gearing up for a busy summer season. Pobbles Pizza in Southgate, Gower, opened 18 months ago and serves delicious home-made sourdough pizzas using authentic Italian and Spanish ingredients and is located just minutes from completely unspoilt Three Cliffs Bay, hailed by The Times last year as Wales' best beach.
Business-owner Toby Mahmoud, 36, previously ran The Dandelion Cafe in the unit, after taking it on from his mum who ran a hair salon there for some 40 years. He's worked in the hospitality industry since he was 14 and also ran a zero-waste shop in Swansea before the pandemic, but after Covid restrictions and customers' different shopping habits affected his business, he shut up shop and switched back to his main love: food!
"I grew up just up from the pizza shop in Southgate, my mum ran a salon there for 40 years and then I turned it into The Dandelion Cafe, and then Pobbles Pizza, named after Pobbles Beach," he said. "We've been open for about 18 months now and the pizzas have been really popular, especially in the summer." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
