A new pizza takeaway has opened in Folkestone.

Fireaway launched in London in 2016 and now has 60 outlets across the UK.

The firm hopes to double that number by the end of this year, and has now opened a branch at 2 West Terrace, near Iceland and McDonald's.

Fireaway’s menu provides pizza fans 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.

Founder Mario Aleppo set out by travelling to Italy to meet farmers who now send him their choicest peeled tomatoes directly from Naples.

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

These are brought together on a daily basis for dishes baked for no more than three minutes in 400-degree ovens.

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.”

A branch also opened in Dartford earlier this year.

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