There is also the option of selling uncooked product to be cooked at home.

Pizzas are ordered via interactive screen or reserved via an app using a unique code for contactless collection.

Pizza Rebellion offers five choices of flavours, including: Pulverised Pepperoni, Pig n’ Pineapple and Rib & Pickle.

Owner Will Jack said, at the time of the launch outside the station: “We were always looking for a firm location where the demographic is right.

“It’s near a train station and the college and it will serve the late-night out of hours sort of customers.

“It’s for people commuting late and coming from pubs and clubs. That’s the sort of market we’re looking at.

“It’s an area with a lot of movement and traffic. It fits in well. It doesn’t impact the environment around it.”
