Another slice of Americana is set to hit our shores in the form of US pizza chain, Project Pie. And where has this company chosen to plant its first European restaurant? Why Dundee of course!

But Project Pie isn’t stopping there, Scottish domination is on the agenda with five more sites planned over the next two years. The 60-cover Dundee restaurant will open by the end of the year, offering customised pizzas, takeaway service, salads, bottomless fountain soda and desserts.

Founded by James Markham in Las Vegas in 2012, Project Pie now has 10 sites across the US, as well as locations in the Philippines and plans to open outlets in Dallas, Indianapolis and NYC.

Did anyone tell the guys in Las Vegas, we wonder, that, by the time they open the doors, Dundee might, at least in spirit, not even be part of a United Kingdom?
