A popular York restaurant has had a makeover, adding a ‘stylish new dining area’.

PizzaExpress is already housed in some style, in the Grade II splendour of River House on Museum Street.

Now it has undergone a makeover and just unveiled anew look to customers.

The new-look restaurant includes ‘a beautifully tiled reception room’

A company spokesperson told YorkMix:

PizzaExpress on Museum Street has received a stylish new dining area which includes velvet curtains and a beautifully tiled reception room.

The pizzeria is a listed building, and it has received new signage outside to complement the furniture and decoration refurbishments inside.

The kitchen has also received improvements such as a new area to cater for increased delivery volumes.

The building opened in 1869, as a gentleman’s club. Eminent York Victorians wanted an exclusive hangout, and The Yorkshire Club was created in 1839.

Its original home was St Leonard’s Place before it moved into the grand Museum Street building.
