Online ordering for pizza shops in Brent

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

In short: Brent has 63 FSA-registered premises with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in NW10 and HA0. A Brent pizza shop can take direct orders on its own Chefzi page: plans run from £9 to £49 a month per location (ex VAT), commission is 0% ever, and the first month is free with no card.

The register lists 63 premises in Brent with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 43 of them registered as takeaways and 20 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in NW10 (18), HA0 (12), HA9 (12), NW9 (7). That is 5.9% of the area's 1,066 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 4.6% across the UK, so the word is more common here than in the UK as a whole.

If you run a pizza shop here, other premises with the same word in their name are likely to be near you, and a customer scrolling a delivery app may see several of you at once. Your own ordering page is the one place where no rival is listed beside you.

What the FSA register shows for Brent pizza names

The method is a name-keyword count, not a census: we count premises whose registered name has one of the words, which misses pizza shops trading under other names and includes anything that merely uses the word. The scope is takeaway and sandwich shop plus restaurant, café and canteen premises, and nothing here names a business.

Of the 55 with a numeric rating, 39 (71%) are rated 5 and 2 (4%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 68.8% of all rated takeaways in Brent that hold a 5. A further 8 are awaiting inspection, awaiting publication or exempt. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

Which postcode districts have the most

NW10 holds the most, 18 of the 63 (29%), and the premises sit across 8 postcode districts in all. Where several pizza-named kitchens share a district, a short delivery time and a clear minimum order do more to win a repeat customer than a deeper menu.

Brent in the wider picture

Brent has 503 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 563 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 14 of 363 UK council areas, and 3 of 33 in London. Across all rated takeaways in Brent, 68.8% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 7.2% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Brent is part of Greater London, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts.

Brent pizza names in numbers

Set against population, Brent has 1.8 pizza-named premises for every 10,000 residents, above the UK figure of 1.4 (ONS mid-2025 population estimate for the area: 352,201). By raw count, Brent is 26th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 4th of 33 in London.

HA0 is the district where the name is most common relative to local food premises (7%); HA9 is the lowest of these four at 6%. The area-wide share is 5.9%.

These premises are inspected about as recently as the area as a whole: 38% inspected within a year (63 dated records) against 38% overall, with a median of 15 months since inspection against 15.

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.

What this means for your online ordering

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in NW10 and HA0, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Brent fits the spread.
• Separate collection and delivery hours. Stop delivery when your last driver finishes and keep collection open at the counter, or the other way round.
• Text your regulars with their permission (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro), so a quiet evening can be filled by one message.
• Pause ordering when the kitchen is flat out, and mark an item out of stock when it runs out, so nobody orders what you cannot make.
• 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.

Late-night hot food in Brent: what to check

Serving hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am normally needs a late night refreshment licence under the Licensing Act 2003, issued by the local council. Brent's council publishes its process here: Brent council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

Our late night refreshment licence guide sets out the England and Wales rules. In Chefzi, collection hours and delivery hours are separate settings, so you can match whatever your licence allows. This is general information and 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. Put the link on your Google Business Profile (how), and print a QR code for each 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 Brent pizza shop

This is an illustration, not a measured figure for Brent. We have no published average order value for Brent pizza shops, so it uses £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 35 orders a week. Put your own numbers in.

Move 35 weekly orders (roughly 152 a month at £25, £3,800 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 £638 at 14% (£532 plus £106 VAT) or £1,368 at 30% (£1,140 plus £228 VAT).

On Chefzi the same 152 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.
