Bolton is North West's 'bargain pizza-purchasing paradise' according to figures
Pizza is one of the all-time go-to takeaway options for many, and thankfully for Boltonians, it won't dent their wallets too much either it seems.
According to catering equipment specialists Alliance Online, Bolton is the "third-cheapest" place in the UK to buy the Italian classic - tied with Huddersfield.
Only Leeds and Middlesbrough beat the town, making it the North West's "pizza-purchasing paradise".
The average price for a 12" margherita is £8.07 in the town, just 13p more expensive than the mean pizza price in Middlesbrough.

The highest-rated pizza restaurant according to Google Reviews is Pizza 4 World in Bradshawgate.
Although a large margherita there will set you back £12.99, so there is clearly a cost put on that premium.
However, if you're looking for a bit more of a budget meal, Pizza 2 Go in Entwistle Street sells 12" cheese and tomato for £7.99, with a 7" costing just £3.49.
Commenting on the findings, Rachael Kiss from Alliance Online said: 'The UK is a nation of pizza lovers, and our research uncovers the best places to enjoy a slice (or two) without spending a fortune. Northern England, in particular, stands out as the most budget-friendly region for pizza enthusiasts.
'As proud suppliers of pizza pans, ovens and equipment to independent restaurants and takeaways across the UK, we've seen first-hand the skill and dedication that goes into crafting the perfect pizza. Whether you're a professional chef or simply enjoy making pizza at home, the right tools can make all the difference in achieving that authentic taste.'
The only other place in Greater Manchester to make it in the top 10 for cheap pizzas was Manchester, with an average price of £8.79 for a 12" margherita.

The company is specialized in moulding and surface treatments to safeguard and improve vision in multiple application fields including sun lenses for eyewear, visors and other protective components for lighting, and the automotive and motorcycle industries. 'We have appreciated the excellence of Lenti's products for many years, and we are very proud to see it now joining Kering Eyewear, providing an additional area of expertise to our platform of best-in-class manufacturing skills, facilities, and, more than anything else, talents,' said Roberto Vedovotto, founder, president and chief executive officer of Kering Eyewear. Financial details of the transaction, which allows Kering Eyewear to establish in-house capabilities for the development of innovative and high-performance Made in Italy sun lenses, were not provided. The deal follows the partnership inked last month between Kering Eyewear and Google for the development of AI-powered glasses with Android XR, as reported. Also, in April, Kering Eyewear inked an agreement to acquire Italian eyewear manufacturers Visard and Mistral. Founded in 2014, Kering Eyewear was a pioneer in changing the business model for luxury groups in the eyewear category, straying from the well-trodden licensing business model. It has grown to produce and distribute collections for 14 brands, including Gucci, Cartier, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Montblanc, Dunhill, Alaïa and Puma. It also owns the Lindberg, Maui Jim and Zeal Optics brands. In 2024, Kering Eyewear reached revenues of 1.6 billion euros, a 6 percent increase on 2023 on a comparable basis. It reported recurring operating income of 277 million euros, and a margin of 17.5 percent on sales. Publicly listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, Safilo Group's portfolio encompasses home brands — Carrera, Polaroid, Smith, Blenders, Privé Revaux and Seventh Street, as well as the perpetual license Eyewear by David Beckham, and licenses for brands ranging from Etro and Isabel Marant to Marc Jacobs, Missoni, Moschino and Tommy Hilfiger, among others. In midmorning trading following the news of the sale, Safilo shares were up 3.1 percent at 93 euro cents. In the three months ended March 31, Safilo registered a 3.1 percent increase in sales to 285.8 million euros, compared to 277.2 million euros in the same period last year.

This Mountaintop Home in Switzerland Is a Modern Take on a Classic Alpine Chalet
You don't need a massive plot of land or over-the-top design to make a powerful statement in real estate—especially not in the Swiss Alps. This boxy, three-story home and its detached carport cut striking figures among the dense greenery of the Alpine landscape during the summer and the glimmering white snow during winter. The dark-stained larch wood siding will only get darker over time through exposure to the elements, while the steep pitch of the solar-equipped standing seam metal roof helps keep snow from piling up and wood slats over some windows offer privacy while maintaining the views from inside. More from Robb Report Art Dealer Barbara Gladstone's Elegant Manhattan Row House Lists for $12 Million A Carefully Reimagined Midcentury Oasis in the Pacific Palisades Lists for $25 Million This $24 Million Boston Home Doubles as an Art Gallery Designed by the firm Montalba Architects as a modern homage to a classic architectural trope, the home is built into the hillside and angled to take in the best view of the 10,000-foot-tall Grand Muveran. Drawing inspiration from the shape of traditional chalets, the residence has been rethought with an open floor plan, vast picture windows, and clean-lined midcentury-inspired furnishings. Constructed over just 10 months, Montalba worked with a local builder to complete the property. All of the millwork, including the angular staircase, was also done in collaboration with local carpenters and cabinet makers. Many of the furnishings came from Switzerland as well, with additional pieces curated from throughout Europe and California. RELATED: A London-Based Designer Brought Italian Style to This Pint-Sized Apartment in the Swiss Alps It's a style of sourcing that mirrors the other work of Montalba, an international firm with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Lausanne. The company was founded back in 2004 by the Swiss-American architect David Montalba, and it draws on Swiss precision and California Modernism to create properties that evoke both styles. Modest in size at just 2,600 square feet, the Alpine abode takes advantage of lighter woods and neutral tones that contrast with the dark, moodier exterior. The main living spaces are on the middle floor and include a living room with a Nero Marquina marble fireplace and a cozy Ligne Roset sofa and armchairs. In the dining area, the tables is from Moyard, and the light-filled kitchen opens to a small patio on the home's east side. The top floor is largely for sleeping. The primary suite has a covered balcony and private bath, and two guest rooms share an additional bathroom with a shower sheathed in the same marble used on the downstairs fireplace. The lowest level, which is embedded into the mountainside, has a studio space with a separate entrance, as well as a small sauna and storage of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

Couple goes out for pizza, comes back with $1 million prize
Couple goes out for pizza, comes back with $1 million prize When deciding between pizza or a burger for lunch, one California family might tell you to choose pizza. Northern California man McKinley Nelson, 72, and his wife's craving for the beloved Italian dish paid off massively, with their visit leading them to a $1 million prize, according to the California Lottery. The Yolo County couple visited a Wine & Liquor store, which shares its building with Round Table Pizza, in the city of Winters, located about 40 miles west of Sacramento. Needing some change to tip service, Nelson broke a $100 bill by purchasing two lottery tickets. "I think it was $20, and I went to the truck and started scratching," Nelson told lottery officials in a news release. The retired veteran said he recalls telling his wife: "I think this one's a million, but I'm not sure." The pair proceeded to check their winning ticket through the California Lottery app, which verified he has scored a jackpot prize. 'My wife almost had a heart attack' The pair were in near complete disbelief that their decision to tip became incredibly and instantly profitable. "So, my wife almost had a heart attack," Nelson said. "And then we had to go in and buy the pizza. It was all because of her, she's the one that likes the pizza." McKinley said he has played the California Lottery for 40 years, the news release stated. "It took a long time to win," he quipped. With the money, Nelson said he will pay off his home, save a portion of it and also purchase a camper van, according to the California Lottery. With their new recreational vehicle, they plan drive to visit McKinley's family and even further to see his wife's family. Where can you buy lottery tickets?
