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.
