Minto Pizza Alla Pala was a pizza parlour located on Minto Road since 2006. It remained in business for at least seventeen years, serving the Notting Hill area. The business offered deliveries. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
History[]
Minto Pizza Alla Pala opened in 2006, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) opening in the building that had previously housed a shop selling Christmas wares. (PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Gary Russell, BBC Books (2007). Page 230; Edition: 2011 reprint.)
In late 2006, Mickey Smith told Jackie Tyler about the new pizza place that opened on Minto Road. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005). Timestamp 00:20:08.)
It seemingly remained in business to at least Christmas Eve 2023, as a flyer for the business was placed on a notice board in Cherry Sunday's home. In a version of history that lacked Ruby Sunday, a flyer for the parlour was present on the fridge instead. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
Behind the scenes[]
- Dialogue in The Parting of the Ways [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005). implied that Minto Road was located somewhere near the Powell Estate; The Church on Ruby Road [+]Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023). appears to softly retcon this, by placing Minto Road on the other side of London instead, in Notting Hill.
