The ground floor retail unit, located between Cafe Andaluz and Bank of Scotland, would include a bar and servery near the entrance and dozens of tables and bench seating within the back of the restaurant.
Paesano is loved for its authentic Napoletana pizzas, sides and desserts, with nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram.
A cover letter in support of the application reads: "Planning, listed building and advertisement consent are being applied for to allow the whole ground and basement floor of the building to be converted into a new Paesano pizza restaurant.
"There are minor entry improvements details proposed at the entrance onto George Street with fascia and projecting signage as well as a new awning discretely attached to the fascia.
"Internally the shell of the unit will be upgraded to be fitted out as a restaurant throughout with kitchen to the rear and in the basement."

Nationwide McDonald's Boycott This Week: Latest Update From Organizer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The organization behind a nationwide boycott of McDonald's that is set to start on Tuesday said the movement is "about more than burgers and fries." As part of its ongoing "Economic Blackout Tour," The People's Union USA, the movement behind recent boycotts of Target and Walmart, is urging Americans to refrain from eating at the fast-food chain between June 24 and June 30. "This is about power," the organization said in a post shared by its founder John Schwarz on Instagram on Saturday. "When we unite and hit corporations in their wallets, they listen." Newsweek has reached out to McDonald's via email for comment. Why It Matters The first half of 2025 has been marked by boycotts of several household-name companies, sparked by certain corporations rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, as well as wider pushback against practices such as tax avoidance and underpaying workers. Since late 2023, McDonald's has also been battling a boycott led by the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement for alleged complicity with the actions of the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. What To Know The People's Union USA describes itself on its website as "a grassroots movement focused on economic resistance, corporate accountability, and real justice for the working class." Since February, the group has orchestrated boycotts of Amazon, Walmart and Target, as well as periodic "economic blackouts," during which it says Americans should "avoid shopping, streaming, online orders, fast food, and everything in between," and rely exclusively on small, local businesses. The movement said it is demanding "fair taxes, an end to price gouging, real equality, and corporate accountability" through its upcoming boycott of McDonald's. Last week, The People's Union USA accused McDonald's in an Instagram post of engaging in "performative DEI with no meaningful change." The movement also alleged that the company pays its workers low wages and suppresses workers' rights and union efforts. An exterior view of the McDonald's restaurant at the Lycoming Mall.

Alamy Live News via AP What People Are Saying The People's Union USA in an Instagram post shared by founder John Schwarz: "This is a show of strength, solidarity, and people powered change. Let them feel it. Let them hear us. Let this be just the beginning." Chris Kempczinski, chairman and CEO of McDonald's Corporation, in a January 2024 LinkedIn post: "I also recognize that several markets in the Middle East and some outside the region are experiencing a meaningful business impact due to the war and associated misinformation that is affecting brands like McDonald's. This is disheartening and ill-founded." Genna Gent, vice president of government relations for McDonald's, in a 2019 letter to the National Restaurant Association and obtained by Politico: "Going forward, McDonald's Corporation will not use our resources, including lobbyists or staff, to oppose minimum wage increases at the federal, state or local levels. Nor will we participate in the association advocacy efforts designed expressly to defeat wage increases." What Happens Next? The People's Union USA said it is planning an economic blackout for July 4, along with boycotts of Starbucks, Amazon and Home Depot throughout the month. During the month of August, the movement is planning boycotts of Walmart, McDonald's and Lowe's. Do you have a story that Newsweek should be covering? Do you have any questions about this story?

Culver City Is Losing a Hand-Pulled Noodle Destination
Bang Bang Noodles, a Chinese hand-pulled noodle shop, is closing its Culver location in the Citizen Public Market at the end of June. The restaurant, which specializes in Xi'an-style biang-biang mian, announced the closure in an Instagram post on June 22. Bang Bang's Downtown LA location will remain open. Bang Bang Noodles was founded as a pop-up in early 2020 by chef Robert Lee, who had previously worked at restaurants in San Sebastian, New York City, and Los Angeles. In 2023, Lee opened the first permanent location for Bang Bang Noodles at Citizen Public Market, bringing his signature tingly cumin lamb noodles tossed in chile oil to the neighborhood. In the years since opening, the menu has expanded beyond just the cumin lamb noodles to include Xi'an tomato noodles and Szechuan garlic noodles. After Bang Bang Noodles closes in Culver, those looking for a great bowl of hand-pulled noodles should try Noodle Art in the Original Farmers Market or LAN Noodle, which operates locations in West Hollywood and the San Gabriel Valley. Shiku, a homestyle Korean stand in Grand Central Market from the team behind Baroo, is donating its proceeds from June to August to non-profits that support immigrants in Los Angeles. 50 percent of profits from this summer will be donated to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, National Day Laborer Organizing Network, and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA). Frogtown Mexican seafood destination Loreto is popping up at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel for the summer. The pop-up will take over the terrace at Calabra between June 20 and September 1. Expect crudos, ceviches, and seafood-topped tostadas, paired with mezcalitas, and more. Rihanna was spotted out and about in Los Angeles sporting a Saint Laurent dress and a Schiaparelli gym bag, paired with the iconic blue and yellow Fatburger soda cup. Rihanna, if you're reading this, please drop the Fatburger order. See More: Intel LA Restaurant Closings
