Restaurant-goers in High Wycombe were left worried over the future of Zizzi after it was boarded up in recent days.

The Italian restaurant in the Eden Centre has been closed for businesses as residents took to social media fearful of its closure.

However, there is good news for Zizzi fans as the restaurant is not closing but undergoing a major refurbishment.

The general manager of the restaurant has since confirmed that the High Wycombe branch of the popular chain will reopen on Thursday, October 6.

The restaurant currently boasts a modern rustic design with two floors and features an open pizza oven and booth-style seating.

Earlier this year, Zizzi was named one of the best pizza restaurants near High Wycombe according to Tripadvisor reviews.

The restaurant had a Tripadvisor rating of 3.5 with 95 'excellent' reviews.
