Popular wood-fired pizza van The Flying Pig Pizza issues update on street trading after new owners take over
“We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the years...”
A mobile pizza van has ceased street trading after it was taken over by new owners.
The Flying Pig Pizza Company will no longer be found parked up in its usual roadside spots around Leyland and Chorley. The popular pizza truck said it will now focus on private catering and events.
Based in Leyland, they regularly appeared at street locations across South Ribble, Buckshaw Village, and Clayton-le-Woods.
Sharing the update on Facebook, they said: “After a lot of thought, we’ve decided to step away from regular street trading for the time being and focus fully on our lunchtime contracts, private catering, festivals, and special events.
“As many of you know, The Flying Pig has always been a family business, and since taking things over from my dad Martin and uncle Dave I’ve been looking at ways to create a better work-life balance and more family time.
“We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us at our pop-ups and street trading locations over the years, it’s honestly meant so much to us.
“For private bookings, we’ll now be taking bookings for events requiring 80 pizzas or more.
“You may still see us popping up around the Leyland & Chorley area from time to time, but for now we’ll be concentrating on the current bookings and exciting events we already have lined up.”
Where you can find them
Going forward, the Flying Pig Pizza Company said they will still be available for private events, weddings and parties, corporate catering, festivals and special events.
