Top ten pizza places to pick up a slice on National Pizza Day

Today, Friday, February 9, is National Pizza Day - a whole day dedicated to everyone's favourite cheesy Italian treat.

The cheesy topped dough that can be eaten hot or cold is a favourite when it comes to ordering fast food.

Do you go for a traditional margherita pizza with cheese and tomato or do you like extra toppings on every slice?

Last year, as part of our Best of 2023 campaign, we searched for Mid Cheshire's Best for Pizza venue.

We were inundated with nominations and put together a shortlist of the top ten pizza places.

You voted Oakwood Smoke and Dough your number one pick and owner Gemma Woods was rightly celebrating.

Here is a reminder of the top ten destinations for perfect pizza in Mid Cheshire - which will you try on National Pizza Day?
