A new fast-food restaurant serving authentic Italian pizza opened its doors on Mansfield Road on Tuesday, January 10. Fireaway Pizza is one of the fastest-growing pizza chains in the UK.
The building has been transformed with the brand's signature orange and black colours along with a new sign above the doors. The grand opening saw a balloon archway tied above the door and customers could take advantage of an introductory price of £5 for any signature pizza.
Customers will be able to choose from four bases, four cheeses and meats along with more than 20 toppings, all for the same price. Not only that but there is the chance to sample the 'nutella pizza' which is, as you may have guessed, smothered in chocolate sauce.

The takeaway has a range of pizzas from Margaritas to the 'Napoli' with mozzarella, capers and oregano. The pizzas celebrate the brand's origins with the 'Amalfi', as one of the founder Mario's grandmothers developed the sauce recipe there in 1950.
Thick milkshakes are also available along with Italian soft drink favourites such as San Pellegrino. Vegans and vegetarians will be happy to note that there are plenty of options for both as well as gluten-free bases.
The pizza chain has around 130 stores in total across the UK, Northern Ireland and Amsterdam. The brand has witnessed incredibly quick growth since it was established in 2016.
A Fireaway spokesperson said: “We’re very pleased with the turnout for our latest Ground Opening and the people of Nottingham seemed to love what we have to offer. We had a great 2022 and this opening has shown signs that 2023 will be an even more successful year for Fireaway.”
The company has enjoyed spectacular growth since launching in London in 2016 and now has 130 stores in total. This includes stores in Amsterdam and Ballymena that opened in 2022 as part of Fireaway’s international expansion.
Mario Aleppo, founder, said: “We like to innovate and have also introduced the full range of gluten-free and vegan options to ensure there is something for everyone.”
The Nottingham branch will be open from 12 noon to 11 pm seven days a week and through Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
