With 40 covers, a party room for 20 guests, and delivery services, it caters to various dining preferences.
This opportunity is ideal for buyers within the food and drink industry or those seeking a turnkey business with a well-established presence in the market.
With a staff of 6, including 3 kitchen staff, 2 pizza chefs and a waitress, the owners oversee higher-level management responsibilities, though they are physically present only one day per week.

The sale of the business includes all equipment.
Refreshing the website and implementing a coordinated content strategy across web, mobile, and social media platforms would greatly benefit the business. The business has a Facebook account but a targeted marketing campaign that combines traditional and digital methods would further enhance the company's reach and impact.
There is the opportunity to extend operational times and to open on Mondays.
