CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

As the landscape of the Covid pandemic continues to change - and bring with it uncertainty and unpredictability - Katy and I have taken the decision to not re-open Miaitalia as a restaurant.

Like all food businesses, we walk a fine line between profit and loss. Miaitalia’s week was often a success or not based on how many ‘bums on seats’ we could comfortably fit in at a weekend. I certainly admire - but don’t necessarily share - the optimism of some, despite the plan for hospitality to re-open this coming weekend. I think even with the best of efforts, the prospect of dining at Miaitalia at the moment would be a be a very sterile and restrictive experience - and it’s not going to change anytime soon.

Even with our terrace seating, the space we could offer will still be less than half of what we could normally fit inside, which is just not financially viable.

So, from now on, we intend to continue as a takeaway. In the coming weeks, limited seating space will be made available for people to eat their takeaway ‘in’, similar to how we do things at Mia Mio in Morecambe, more like a traditional pizzeria than restaurant experience.

So, whilst our dining style will change, the quality of our food and passion for great pizza remains the same!

We’ll be launching an ordering app soon, but at the moment you can order food for collection at Miaitalia by emailing miaitaliamanager@yahoo.com or calling the restaurant on 01524 823323. We’re currently open Thursday-Sunday and will be adding another weeknight soon.

Miaitalia has exceeded all our expectations, winning several national awards of which we’re immensely proud, but prouder still of the relationship we’ve built with our loyal and supportive customers. I hope that you continue to enjoy Miaitalia pizza, just in a slightly different way!

With your support, here’s to many more years of success.

Thank you,

David and Katy Waddington
