Stupid Good Pizza, a popular pizza brand already thriving in Hartlepool and Stockton, will open its Newcastle location on Wednesday, July 24, 2026. The new restaurant is located on Chillingham Road in Heaton, a street known for its vibrant food and drink scene. Demand has been high, with order slots filling quickly through a priority sign-up list.
New York Style Pizza Comes to Heaton
The founders, Jay and Jamie, describe themselves as 'New York pizza enthusiasts' and emphasize their thin and crispy NYC-style pizzas. They aim to make their pizzas accessible to as many people as possible. The Heaton premises were previously vacant and are situated in one of Newcastle's most sought-after postcodes.
Opening Details and Ordering
According to a post on their Instagram page, order slots are already filling up fast from the priority sign-up list. Customers who sign up by 7pm on Thursday will get priority access to book before the general public. Remaining slots will be released at 7pm on Friday. The founders expressed their excitement, stating, 'We’re officially opening this Wednesday and we honestly can’t wait to welcome you through the doors.'
Expansion from Hartlepool and Stockton
Stupid Good Pizza first gained a following in Hartlepool and Stockton, where customers declared they do 'the best ever' pizza. The expansion into Newcastle marks a significant step for the brand, which has built a loyal customer base across the North East. The new location is expected to draw pizza lovers from across the region.
