A Sutton café have launched an a new outdoor pizza offering.

Owners Nigel Bullock and Jess Bentley, who both live in Langley, opened the popular daytime café Sutton & Co in April.

Now they have decided to add pizzas to their menu, and open during the evening, under he name Sutton Slice. 

"We built this building from a blank slate. We have completely redesigned it from scratch," Nigel revealed.

"Adding pizzas to the menu was always something that we wanted to do, it just happens that we now have the opportunity."

Open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30-9:00 this is has proven to be a very popular and relaxing place for residents to have a meal out.

"Our hard work has really paid off, all the feedback has been really positive," Nigel explained.

"Luckily customers can just walk to us making it easy to provide them with whatever they want, whether that's to relax inside, or a get a quick takeaway."

The pizzas take just 90 seconds to two minutes pizza, dependent on the temperature and toppings. (Image - Alexander Greensmith / Macclesfield Nub News)

Nigel has trained previously as a chef and has gone to great lengths to create a comfortable and relaxing space for his community.

"At the moment, we have a temporary gazebo outside where we serve but eventually we will have a building made of glass," Nigel said.

"The oven will also be inside so in winter it will be so warm and cosy in the building."

The café has just created new menus for the pizzas being served.

"For our best sellers, it's a close tie between Hawaiian, which is very surprising to people, and the Hot and Spicy pizza," Nigel revealed.

"We also have a great selection of drinks, made by a wine merchant and a good selection of vegan and vegetarian pizzas for our customers." 

These pizzas are all made with produce sourced from around Macclesfield.

"For all of our pizzas, we always try to source locally like our meat which comes from the Macclesfield butchers Carters [of Church Street]," Nigel said. 

The community-driven café in Sutton are now three weeks into their a weekend outdoor pizza offering. There are 11 savoury pizzas on the menu plus one sweet one. Veggies and vegans are also catered for. (Image - Alexander Greensmith / Macclesfield Nub News)

"We stock Crag Spring Water from Wildboarclough, and we get our veg from Sutton General Stores, which you can see while you tuck into our pizzas. 

"We believe that if you have great quality produce, you will have a great pizza."

Nigel is looking forward to continuing his successful business, for the locals and hopes to use even more local produce within his restaurant.

"The future is looking good," he also said.
