Popular Edinburgh city centre pizza restaurant announces sad closure to customers

A popular Edinburgh pizza business has been forced to close one of its restaurants due to staff shortages.

Dough, who have restaurants on both South Clerk Street and Rose Street, will be closing the latter on Monday, May 30, taking to Instagram to make the sad announcement to their followers.

Being present in the capital for five years and serving up delicious freshly stone-baked pizza's in the city centre, locals will be distraught to see the Rose Street venue close.

In a short statement, the team said: "Due to staff shortages our Rose Street location will be closing down from Monday the 30th of May. We would like to thank all of our customers for their support!

"Please note that South Clerk street will remain open for business but please be patient with our staff during this time.

"We will now only be operating from, 47 South Clerk Street."

The restaurant have been popular in the city for many years, creating unique combinations and twists on one of the nation's favourite dishes.

The store on Rose Street was in a prime location just off Princes Street and includes seating areas indoor and out, as well as being available for delivery.

The shock closure comes just months after Dough gave both stores a new refurbishment and made several changes to their menu to keep customers coming back.

The cosy and quirky fresh pizza restaurant will definitely be a big miss to Rose Street, as businesses across the city are continuing to deal with staff shortages and a difficulty to recruit new members.
