A POPULAR pizzeria selling artisan pizzas and mojitos in Upton-Upon-Severn is set to come to Malvern Link within weeks.
Mojitos Rum Bar and Pizzeria, which has a takeaway on the High Street in Upton-Upon-Severn, is set to take over the kitchen at the Express Inn on Quest Hills Road as a takeaway.
Should the firm's trial in Malvern Link prove successful, it is hoping to open another pizzeria in Great Malvern later this year.
The new pizzeria will act as a takeaway and is set to open within the next few weeks after striking a deal with the new landlord of the Express Inn.

Mojitos has been open in Upton-Upon-Severn for around five years now and provides around 20 different kinds of pizzas.
Owner Kyle Hassall told the Gazette the business was going 'very well' and felt it could expand into Malvern.
He said: "This is something we have been thinking about doing for a while.
"People are loving our pizzas, things are going really well in Upton-Upon-Severn, and interestingly around 50 per cent of our deliveries come from Malvern, so there is definitely scope to expand.
"Our delivery services only go as far as Great Malvern, so it is our first time venturing into Malvern Link, and we are looking forward to seeing how it goes.
"If all goes well we could have two venues in Malvern by the end of the year."
Customers will be able to get their food delivered or have a mojito while they are waiting for their takeaway.
The Mojitos pizzeria menu includes the hugely popular 'Revelation' pizza, which contains beef brisket, nduja, red onion, smoked cheese and chilli jam.
As well as serving fresh artisan pizza, the venue also specialises in mojitos of all different flavours ranging from blueberry and passionfruit to raspberry.
Its most popular mojitos in Upton-Upon-Severn are blueberry or coconut, and Mr Hassall said he can't wait to see whether that stays the same in Malvern Link.
The new Malvern Link venue is now looking for four new staff, two to work in the kitchen and two delivery drivers.
Mojitos Pizzeria in Upton-Upon-Severn currently has a five-star rating on TripAdvisor and is currently available for delivery on Just Eat.
