A mobile pizza business is enjoying a slice of success as it secures a permanent kitchen residency at a Norwich pub. 

Luca La Bella, 33, started Luca Pizza in a converted horsebox in 2021 and his business partner is his dad Joe, who is from Sicily. 

In the city, he has regular pitches at the Trafford Arms, The Leopard and, since September 2022, on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings at The Warwick Arms in NR2.

Luca Pizza will continue to pop up at the first two pubs and private events in the horsebox.

From late March or early April, Luca and his team will operate out of the kitchen throughout the week at The Warwick Arms.

Luca La Bella said: "The pub has had a few kitchens come and go, but the owners Nick and Briony De’Ath always insisted that we kept our courtyard pop-up.

"When Briony asked if we wanted to take on the kitchen I decided to go for it.

"I can't wait as it has been my dream to have a fixed premises and I will be able to expand the offering." 

The current menu includes options such as a Margherita, Pepperoni and the vegetarian Eden, with vegan cheese and homemade dips also available.
