A PORTISHEAD couple have taken over the running of a popular pizza place in the town.

Dave and Marion Britten, who are the new owners of Star Pizza at the Triangle in West Hill, are hoping their new approach will be a hit with the customers.

Dave said: “We use only fresh, handmade dough, which we believe improves the quality of the goods no end. We also source our fresh goods locally wherever possible.”

The husband and wife team of Denny View, open the business seven evenings a week and also deliver their pizzas at no extra cost to homes in Portishead.

Both currently have day jobs, but Marian added: “We hope that, with the support of our customers, it won’t be too long before we can devote all our time to the new business venture.”
