A Scottish pizza company is launching a restaurant "gaming and movie experience" featuring an arcade and gaming room.

It will be the company’s third site as it “continues to grow” and will open on Saturday, December 2

Pizza Geeks, known for its handmade Neapolitan-inspired pizzas and its Pizza for the People initiative, it has restaurants in Haymarket and Leith. The firm will launch its new space on Easter Road, which is set to be its “largest venue to date”.

The firm said the pop-up venture is "inspired by 1980s nostalgia encompassing everything from gaming to movies, featuring 8-bit graphics, blockbuster vibes and a nod to iconic 1980s inspired shows like Stranger Things”.

Pizza Geeks is collaborating with well-known graffiti artist Francis Carty from Artisan Artworks. The team at Solas Neon will also be featuring some amazing neon installations throughout the venue.
