A married couple from Radcliffe who turned their hobby into a pizzeria are celebrating the one-year anniversary of trading.
Rhyse and Trisha Cathcart opened Dough So Good Pizzeria in Radcliffe Market on February 10, 2022.
After jumping at the chance to fill a vacant stall in the market, the pair say they have seen their business go from strength to strength and are “incredibly grateful” to their customers who have supported their venture.
