Popular New York-style spot Sear’s Pizza has unveiled signage ahead of plans to open a location in the city centre.

We revealed last year that plans had been submitted for a new Sear’s spot in the city centre on John Street. And now, with signage unveiled, it could be nearing opening.

The unit was last occupied by Metro Sandwich and sits in a prominent location in Glasgow city centre. It would add to Sear’s current locations in the West End and Southside. The brand also opened an Edinburgh outlet last year.

The unit is in a B-listed building.

Sear's pizza recently opened their second location in Glasgow over in Shawlands. Lewis Capaldi and James McAvoy have both been spotted tucking into their slices in Partick which has been a huge hit. | Sear's Pizza

Sear’s Pizza is owned by Paul Beveridge, who also is at the helm of Ramen Dayo and Yakitori Shack in Glasgow, Sear’s is designed to transport you to a 80s and 90s New York pizza joint with exposed brick, wood panelled walls, an 80’s style menu board, self-serve soda fountain, NYC imagery, neon signs, counter service and a case filled with pizza pies.

Speaking ahead of the Glasgow opening in 2024, Paul said: “Shop interiors have always been an obsession of mine.

“I was lucky to visit NY as a kid in the 80s & 90s, and I remember being blown away by the hand painted signage and aesthetic of the bodegas and pizza shops. This was when NYC art and club culture was at its peak with Madonna, Keith Haring, Rocksteady Crew, Paris is Burning, The Ramones etc, so I’ve tried to incorporate that imagery into our shop interior.”
