Pizza Land

Pizza Land works The Circle in Moorends, the small ex-colliery village adjoining Thorne whose terraced streets grew up around the pit that took its name from the Thorne Colliery and shuttered in the 1950s. The shop trades the broad village pizza-and-kebab format that has become the late-evening default in this part of South Yorkshire — over thirty pizza options with the customer choosing size, base, sauce and toppings, plus kebabs, beef and chicken burgers, Southern Fried Chicken and a chicken-parmesan side topped with creamy bechamel and toasted cheese that turns up in regular customer photos. The shop holds a five-star Food Standards Agency hygiene rating, operates its own ordering site (pizzalandmoorends.co.uk) alongside the aggregator listings, and trades to the surrounding Moorends, Thorne and Stainforth catchment. The Circle parade gives the unit unusually decent off-street access for a village kitchen — a small thing but useful in a part of town where shop-front parking is tight.
