New bottomless pizza concept to bring fresh life to former Takayama restaurant

A former restaurant site that has stood empty on Fore Street since April 2023 will become home to bottomless pizza chain Moto Pizza, with signage now visible in the windows.

The big picture: The bottomless pizza concept will occupy the former Takayama premises in another good news story and vote of confidence in Ipswich's town centre.

Bottomless pizza is coming!

How it works: Moto Pizza offers an unlimited pizza service where:

  • Diners use a green light at their table to signal for more slices

  • Each slice features different toppings in a "pizza roulette" style

  • The dough is made fresh daily using Italian flour

  • Pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven

By the numbers: The restaurant is expected to offer:

  • Standard bottomless pizza for £18.50

  • Lunchtime deals Tuesday to Friday at £13.50

  • Children's options from £6.50

  • Under-3s eat free

Worth noting: Moto Pizza already operates two successful venues in Essex – one on Baddow Road in Chelmsford and another on Colchester's High Street.

The bottom line: While no opening date has been confirmed, the arrival of new window signage and ongoing works suggests that progress is being made.
