Pizzas are stored in a monitored refrigerated cold room. They are cooked in a patented oven using an electric pulsed jet heat method, delivered back in a pizza box to the customer.
There is also the option of selling uncooked product to be cooked at home.
Pizzas are ordered via interactive screen or reserved via an app using a unique code for contactless collection.

Owner Will Jack said, at the time of the launch outside the station: “We were always looking for a firm location where the demographic is right.
“It’s near a train station and the college and it will serve the late-night out of hours sort of customers.
“It’s for people commuting late and coming from pubs and clubs. That’s the sort of market we’re looking at.
