  Updated 14/10/15 with opening date

  No, it's not some kind of new fitness craze, this is the latest restaurant from D&D that's opening in King's Cross.

• A second Pizza Union is heading to King's Cross

  

  After a successful launch ai Smithfields, Pizza Union is spreading its wings and opening a second pizza bar - this time at King's Cross (close to the Honest Burgers there).
