A POPULAR pizzeria in Glasgow's Southside is relocating outside the city. 

Famous for its Detroit-style pizza, Canotto Pizza first opened its doors in Cathcart's Margaretta Buildings in July 2020.

Restaurant owners Dominic and Gillian Morton have announced this week that they would be moving out of their Glasgow location.

The business is now moving to East Kilbride and for the occasion, a new menu has been unveiled.

In an announcement on social media, the pair shared pictures of the South Lanarkshire town with the caption "Any guesses?" and an image reading "new location".

Last week, they had shared a Facebook post thanking their Cathcart customers.

The owners confirmed with the Glasgow Times they have now moved to College Milton in East Kilbride.

Loyal Southside customers have expressed mixed feelings at the news, with many well-wishing messages but also some saying they will miss their fabulous pizza. 

One customer wrote on Instagram: "Very sad. Southside is much better suited for you guys but good luck!"

Another commented: "Good luck in the new spot guys! I'll be taking a trip to EK for sure."

On the other hand, East Kilbride residents have welcomed the addition.

One resident wrote: "Yes East Kilbride needs you."

Another commented: "This is very exciting!"

The Glasgow Times previously talked to Dominic and Gillian about their very special pizza. 

Their menu includes mouthwatering Detroit pizza and a pizza base that’s somewhere between New York and Neapolitan style. 

“I had this image in my head of the first time I tried a pizza when I was younger and I couldn’t find anywhere in Glasgow that could get me back to that taste, so I started making it myself,” said Dominic.

“I bought a pizza oven and built a shed in the back garden to put it in. This is about three or four years ago. I started inviting people around and they thought the pizza was really good. Folk would be phoning asking to come over.” 

From this modest, improvised pizza hut, Dominic began to think about whether he could start his own business.

“I was working in engineering and every day I’d be going to my work thinking about making pizza” he said. 

“A lease for a place in Cathcart popped up that used to be a beauty parlour. It was just a shell of a unit but it was the space I needed. I signed the lease. Then I went home and told my wife. 

“I had closed my eyes and jumped in feet first. Thankfully she was very supportive of me making a change.”
