BUSINESS was booming at PizzaExpress as it opened its doors in Bradford's Broadway for the first time.

It officially opened at 11:30am today but had a soft open yesterday evening, which also proved popular.

Restaurant manager Ryan Shaw and operations manager Ben Hicks said: "We had a full restaurant for the soft open last night and we're a bit nervous about tonight now!"

"Everything's selling well, including our seasonal specials, like the prawn starter and the vegan arancini."

"A quarter of the staff have worked at PizzaExpress for years, while the others have been training for a month or two.

"It's in a great location, next to the cinema, and having kids in over the holidays is helping out."
