Pizza Express will open its second restaurant at a shopping centre this month, creating 34 jobs.

Its new site in Bluewater, close to its cinema and trampoline park, adds to its eatery in the Village section of the mall.

The 177-seater restaurant opens from 11.30am on Wednesday, March 21.

Restaurant manager Suzi Sower said: “We are beyond excited to open our doors at Bluewater and look forward to welcoming customers old and new.”

Pizza Express, which has 600 restaurants nationally, opened its first location in Wardour Street in London’s Soho in 1965.
