What Happened to the Pubs We Used to Love?
A Simple Mission to Save the Heart of Communities
We believe in keeping pubs alive by staying true to what makes them special—familiar, welcoming spaces where people connect. Our approach is straightforward: serve world-class pizza, but always keep the pub just that—a pub.
Have you noticed
how expensive going to the pub has become?
It leaves you wondering if it's worth it. Every time you try a new spot you end up asking "Will the food be good? Will I feel welcome? Will this become my go-to local?"
I remember when I felt the same frustrations: Pubs were no longer affordable, and I found myself constantly questioning whether going out would be worth the time and the money. And with so many pubs closing down everywhere, I felt powerless.
I missed the days when pubs were more than just businesses, they were the heart of the community, a place to connect, unwind, and feel you belonged. But it seemed everything was becoming too commercialised, too impersonal.
It shouldn’t have to be this way and that’s when I realised something had to change, not just for me, but for those who missed what pubs used to represent.
The Turning Point: The Idea Behind Pizza Saves Pubs VIP
One night, after yet another disappointing and overpriced pub visit, it hit me. What if there was a way to make going to the pub not only affordable but also a great experience?
What if we could create a membership that not only gave you real value but also helped preserve the pub culture we all love?
That’s how Pizza Saves Pubs VIP was born.
We designed it for people like you—who love pubs but hate feeling like they’re spending too much and getting too little. With Pizza Saves Pubs VIP, your visits are not only more affordable, but it also helps keep local pubs alive for future generations.
