Throughout the day, the restaurant will be serving £5 signature pizzas.

The restaurant is located between Shakeeys and Best Kebab House, in the former Backhouse Bet shop.

The former betting shop in Angel Street closed on April 1 2019 and has remained untouched since the closure. 

The restaurant cooks pizza in a stoned fired oven at 400C, taking approximately 180 seconds.

The first restaurant was opened by Mario Aleppo in London, back in 2016, and five years later the brand has over 120 branches in England, Scotland and Wales.

The brand's website claims to cook with quality ingredients sourced from the UK and Italy.

Nearby cities Gloucester and Birmingham both also have Fireaway Pizza branches.
