Online ordering for pizza shops in Blackpool

Updated 13 November 2026. This page reads the Food Standards Agency register as it stood on 13 November 2026. It covers the Blackpool council area and names no business. For the area as a whole, see our Blackpool page.

In short: The FSA register lists 32 premises in Blackpool with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in FY1 and FY4. A Blackpool pizza shop can keep regulars ordering direct on its own Chefzi page: £9 to £49 a month per location, excluding VAT, 0% commission ever, and a free first month, no card needed.

The register lists 32 premises in Blackpool with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 27 of them registered as takeaways and 5 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in FY1 (15), FY4 (9), FY3 (5), FY2 (3). That is 5.2% of the area's 614 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 4.5% across the UK, so the word is about as common here as in the UK as a whole.

That makes Blackpool a place where a direct ordering page earns its keep: the same few streets hold a lot of pizza-named premises, so being easy to find and easy to order from is the whole game.

What the FSA register shows for Blackpool pizza names

This is a name-keyword count, not a census. It only finds premises whose registered name includes one of those words, so it misses pizza shops with other names, and it counts anything with the word in it, whatever it sells. We look at takeaway and sandwich shop premises and at restaurant, café and canteen premises only, and we do not name any business.

Of the 32 with a numeric rating, 26 (81%) are rated 5 and 0 (0%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is a higher share than the 68.1% of all rated takeaways in Blackpool that hold a 5. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

Where they cluster

FY1 holds the most, 15 of the 32 (47%), and the premises sit across 4 postcode districts in all. A zone per district lets you charge a small fee for the close streets and a higher minimum for the outer ones, in Chefzi's delivery zones.

Blackpool in the wider picture

Blackpool has 290 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 324 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 58 of 363 UK council areas, and 12 of 35 in North West. Across all rated takeaways in Blackpool, 68.1% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 1.7% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Blackpool is part of Lancashire, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts.

Blackpool pizza names in numbers

Set against population, Blackpool has 2.2 pizza-named premises for every 10,000 residents, above the UK figure of 1.3 (ONS mid-2025 population estimate for the area: 143,492). By raw count, Blackpool is 88th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 13th of 35 in the North West.

FY3 is the district where the name is most common relative to local food premises (7%); FY1 is the lowest of these four at 5%. The area-wide share is 5.2%.

On freshness, 31% of the 32 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 43% across all 614 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Blackpool. The median time since inspection is 17 months for this list and 14 for the whole area.

Population figures are ONS mid-2025 estimates; every other figure comes from the same FSA register pull as the tables above. Small samples move a lot from one inspection to the next, so read the shares as a guide to where the pattern is, not as a verdict on any business.

How a direct ordering page helps here

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in FY1 and FY4, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Blackpool fits the spread.
• Put your link where customers already look. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code on every bag (QR kit).
• Separate collection and delivery hours. Stop delivery when your last driver finishes and keep collection open at the counter, or the other way round.
• Size, base and toppings in one flow. Size and crust can be required choices and toppings a pick-several choice with a surcharge for each, so the ticket shows exactly what to make.
• Take cash as well as card. Cash on collection and cash on delivery are on every plan, and card payments are on Plus and Pro.

Late-night hot food in Blackpool: what to check

Between 11pm and 5am, supplying hot food or drink counts as late night refreshment under the Licensing Act 2003, and the local council issues the licence. Blackpool's council publishes its process here: Blackpool council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

The general rules for England and Wales are in our late night refreshment licence guide. Chefzi lets you set collection and delivery hours separately, so your ordering hours can follow whatever your licence conditions say. This is general information, not legal advice.

How to start

1. Send us your menu on a short call. We build it into Chefzi with you, and you should be live in 24 to 48 hours.
2. Set required choices for the way your customers order, and set your delivery zones by postcode district or radius.
3. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code to every bag (QR kit).
4. With their permission, tell regulars about the page by SMS or email (how, Plus and Pro).

A worked example for a Blackpool pizza shop

Treat this as an illustration, not a measurement for Blackpool. No published average order value exists for Blackpool pizza shops, so we assume £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 25 orders a week. Swap in your own figures.

Move 25 weekly orders (roughly 108 a month at £25, £2,700 of sales) from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link and the maths is this. On Just Eat's published partner rates (read 12 November 2026, details), 14% with your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT, you would pay £454 at 14% (£378 plus £76 VAT) or £972 at 30% (£810 plus £162 VAT).

On Chefzi the same 108 orders carry 0% commission. You pay the flat plan: Plus, which adds card payments, is £22 a month (£19 billed annually) per location, excluding VAT, and it does not change if the month is busier. Card processing charges depend on your payment provider and are not modelled on either side. Orders customers still place through Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats keep paying those apps' commission; the example only covers the ones you move.

What Chefzi does not do

• Delivery: you run your own drivers. Chefzi has no courier integrations.
• No kiosk and no CRM.
• Pre-order lead time is one setting per location, not per dish.
• Marketplace orders still pay the marketplace's commission. Chefzi helps you move regulars across; it does not change what Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats charge.
