Prezzo Italian will open in Norwich this November at the former Pizza Hut site on Wherry Road at Riverside Entertainment. The two-storey unit will operate from 11am to 11.30pm, serving stone-baked sourdough pizzas, classic and modern pasta dishes, antipasti, and Italian-inspired cocktails and wines.

More than 20 jobs will be created across kitchen, front-of-house and management roles. Emily Curtis, people director at Prezzo Italian, said: 'We're really excited to be coming to Norwich. The city has a strong food scene and a real pool of talented chefs, and we want to find local people to build this restaurant with us.'

Prezzo previously operated three sites in Norwich at Tombland, Dereham and Thorpe Road, which closed in 2021 and 2018 respectively. The chain currently has only one branch in Norfolk, in King's Lynn. The new Riverside venue is designed as a modern, family-friendly destination within walking distance of Norwich railway station and aims to attract shoppers, cinema-goers and evening diners.
