Italian pizzeria to open on Balthane Estate in August following planning rejection elsewhere
Pizza lovers in Ballasalla have something to look forward to this summer, as a new Italian pizzeria prepares to open its doors on the island. While planners rejected a takeaway application in Rearyt Mie this week, Savino's Pizza is moving ahead with plans to launch at a new location on the Balthane Estate.
Michael Savino, owner of Savino's Pizza, has confirmed the business will open in the former Kelly's Café premises in August 2026. The announcement comes after the café closed earlier this year, leaving a vacant unit ready for a new venture. According to a Facebook post from Savino, the new pizzeria will bring traditional Italian pizza to the area.
The pizzeria will offer more than just dine-in options — delivery services will also be available, making it convenient for residents across Ballasalla and surrounding areas to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine from home. This addition to the local dining scene could become a popular spot for both tourists visiting the island and locals seeking quality pizza.
Visitors to the Isle of Man looking for dining recommendations in the south will soon have another excellent option to add to their itinerary. Mark your calendars for August 2026 when Savino's Pizza officially opens on the Balthane Estate.
