This new restaurant in Glasgow has only been open for a few weeks and has already had two celebrity visits. 

Sear's Pizza is the newest addition to the West End's food and drink scene, located on Chancellor Street just a stone's throw from the bustling Byres Road.

Serving New York-inspired pizza pies and slices, the hole-in-the-wall joint wants to be the new go-to for Glawegians looking for a taste of the Big Apple.

So far footfall has included a Hollywood actor and a famous singer, both of whom have visited the restaurant for a slice of the action within weeks of Sear's opening.

Glasgow-born singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi popped in on October 4, and just a day later, Drumchapel's own James McAvoy visited Sear's to try their pizza to-go. 

First opening in Glasgow in September, the concept of Sear's was created by Daryl Leach, who is the founder of Baked Pizza Al Taglio, along with Paul Beveridge (founder of Ramen Dayo!) and Tom Lauckner (co-founder of Piece Glasgow).

Daryl started making pizza and bread at a young age and became a pizza chef in local Glasgow restaurants.

He also spent time in Naples and Rome to become a master at his craft, spending his weeks making over 1000 pizzas a day.

As a particular fan of the New York slice, Daryl moved to New York in 2016 and secured a night job as a pizzaiolo at Ray’s Pizza and Bagels on St. Mark’s Place, East Village.

He said: “Ray’s was open almost 24/7 and, as such, it was a focal point of the area. Its affordability in an otherwise fairly expensive neighbourhood allowed all walks of life to mingle together whilst sharing pizza.

"The experience inspired me to bring the same vibe to Glasgow."
