Pizzeria set to open first restaurant south of the river
A pizza business is about to open its first restaurant south of the river.
Sourdough pizzas from Pizzarova began life being cooked in the back of a Land Rover Defender fitted with a pizza oven.
Back then in 2013, founder Alex Corbett roamed around Somerset serving pizzas at festivals and in villages.
is needed now More than ever
Since then, Pizzarova have opened permanent bases on Park Street and Gloucester Road, as well as a pop-up at Wapping Wharf.
Now the company is growing its reach to the south Bristol, with its third bricks and mortar premises opening in Southville come June.

The newest Pizzarova will be located in what used to be a computer shop on 237 North Street, promising to serve “delicious food without the frills”.
The restaurant prides itself on using slowly fermenting sourdough that has been fed for 69 years – making it fresh each day from water, flour and salt.
Dishes from Pizzarova range from a margherita (£7.95) and double chorizo and hot honey (£11.25) to a vegan njuda (£12.25).

“We can’t wait for our next adventure south of the river. We’ve dipped our toes in at Wapping Wharf and are ready for the plunge – not in the Avon of course,” wrote the Pizzarova team on Instagram.
“We will be opening this June supplying you with handmade sourdough pizzas made with the best locally sourced ingredients from @shiptonmill, @bruevalleyfarm and @longmancheese.
“Our fit out is in collaboration with The Bristol Wood Recycling Project – an innovative social enterprise working to benefit the community and environment.”
Pizzarova on North Street opens on June 22.
