Minto Pizza Alla Pala was a pizza parlour located on Minto Road since 2004. It remained in business for at least nineteen years, serving the Notting Hill area. The business offered deliveries. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"])

History

Minto Pizza Alla Pala opened in 2004, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"]) opening in the building that had previously housed a shop selling Christmas wares.

In late 2006, Mickey Smith told Jackie Tyler about the new pizza place that opened on Minto Road. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"00:20:08","1":"The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"})

It seemingly remained in business to at least Christmas Eve 2023, as in a version of history that lacked Ruby Sunday, a flyer for the parlour was present on the fridge in Cherry Sunday's home. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"])

Behind the scenes

  • Dialogue in The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"] implied that Minto Road was located somewhere near the Powell Estate, and, more explicitly, that the pizza parlour opened sometime in 2006; The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"] appears to softly retcon this, by placing Minto Road on the other side of London instead, in Notting Hill, and changing the year the parlour opened to 2004, likely to mirror Ruby Sunday's date of birth, feeding into the themes of coincidence explored in the episode.
