A NEW pizza restaurant will open in Bournemouth’s BH2 complex in May.

Pizza Express will open its doors on Thursday, May 18.

The new opening will bring 40 jobs to the area.

It will be the second Pizza Express to open in Bournemouth, joining the eatery in Post Office Road.

A spokesperson for Pizza Express said its new restaurant would have a “vibrant décor” and a theme “inspired by its location on the former bus and coach station”, with Pop Art giving a “nostalgic nod to seaside coach holidays”.

Restaurant manager Jo Woods added: “We are beyond excited to open our doors at Bournemouth BH2, and warmly welcome our new customers.”

The restaurant will be open from 11am on May 18.
