Popular Italian restaurant Zizzi has relaunched its St Albans venue with a new look - and is offering free pizza to mark the occasion.

After being closed for refurbishments, the restaurant has now re-opened, with 1,000 free pizzas being offered on a first come, first served basis until next Tuesday (July 23).

Located in the city centre, Zizzi St Albans has been redecorated by designer Brianna Chartrand, who has created a mural for the restaurant that includes Saint Alban himself eating a slice of pizza, alongside other homages to the city.
