New takeaway chain looking to get a pizza of the action in East Kilbride

A new takeaway chain is looking to get a pizza of the action when it opens in East Kilbride next week.

Fireaway is one of the fastest growing food outlets in the UK.

The company has enjoyed spectacular growth since launching in London in 2016.

They kicked off 2022 by opening their 100th store but the brand isn’t slowing down in their expansion.

The East Kilbride outlet will open at 15 Maxwellton Avenue on May 23.

In 2021 they won Rising Star Pizza Chain of the Year at the PAPA Awards.

Fireaway’s phenomenal success story is based on attention to detail combined with a desire to be different.

Founder, Mario Aleppo (EKN)

Founder Mario Aleppo set out to create an unrivalled pizza experience by going to Italy and meeting farmers who now send him their choicest peeled tomatoes directly from Naples.

He then negotiated with mills in northern Italy who prepare the flour to his own specifications.

These are brought together on a daily basis to ensure freshness and baked for no more than three minutes in 400 degrees oven.

Fireaway’s mouth-watering menu provides pizza lovers with a choice of four bases, four cheeses, four meats and 20 toppings, all available for the same price.

Among them is the Nutella Pizza, which is unique to Fireaway.

Mario 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 new branches are open from 12 noon to 11 pm seven days a week and are partnered with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
