A Papa Johns spokesperson confirmed that no staff face unemployment due to the closure, she said, “Sadly, Papa Johns Blackhall is closing on April 7. But we love serving the people of Edinburgh and have four other locations nearby for people to get their pizza fix; Newington, Fountainbridge, Sighthill and Leith.

"Our priority is our team members and we have offered each of them employment at our other locations, so no one is left without work. We are grateful to all our loyal fans and hope to see you again soon!"
