A NEW pizza restaurant is to open in Hove.

Takeaway chain Fireaway is to open a new branch in Blatchington Road on September 30.

The company, which first launched in London in 2016, now has 80 outlets across the country and is looking to open a further 20 by the end of the year.

It’s Blatchington Road branch will be open from noon to 11pm daily and will also be available to order with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.

A spokesman for Fireaway’s said: “Our phenomenal success story is based on attention to detail combined with a desire to be different.

“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.”

On the menu is a choice of four bases, four cheeses, four meats and 20 toppings, all available for the same price.

The brand’s signature Nutella Pizza will also be available to buy.
