We're delighted to confirm that all the units at Forge Island are now taken. We're looking forward to welcoming Independent South Yorkshire restaurant chain, The Rustic Pizza Co, who are opening a new outlet in the last remaining retail space 🍕

In an unprecedented milestone for the new landmark destination, all of the commercial spaces have now been snapped up. Muse is delivering Forge Island in partnership with Rotherham Council and works started on site in November.

The Rustic Pizza Co was founded in 2017 by Doncaster-based husband and wife team Lee and Sian who originally ran a mobile street food business. The duo transformed a passion for pizza into a successful business venture, delivering their freshly made, wood-fired pizzas across their home city and at events and festivals all over the country.
