Hide AdFireaway Pizza was started in 2016 in South London by Mario Aleppo with the aim of “bringing better pizza to the UK.”
Its first Peterborough restaurant will be located on 35 Broadway in the unit last occupied by Letter Group rental agents, which has now moved to Minerva Business Park.
The menu claims to offer artisan pizza with service in just 180 seconds from a 400-degree fire oven.

The application stated: “The proposal would provide internal seating area for patrons to enjoy hot cooked food, especially for shoppers, whilst also providing a new food outlet service for the local community.
“The proposal intends to also provide much needed economic boost to the existing area by providing a new restaurant within the parade with seating thereby attracting patrons from the local community and businesses.

There are over 110 chains in the country, with the closest ones currently being in Cambridge, Kettering, Bedford and Melton Mowbray.
Work is expected to start on the new restaurant in the coming weeks.
