Online ordering for pizza shops in Bury

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

In short: Bury has 33 FSA-registered premises with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in BL9 and M25. A Bury 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 33 premises in Bury with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 28 of them registered as takeaways and 5 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in BL9 (9), M25 (7), M26 (6), BL8 (4). That is 5.3% of the area's 624 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.

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 Bury 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 27 with a numeric rating, 14 (52%) are rated 5 and 3 (11%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is a higher share than the 46.4% of all rated takeaways in Bury that hold a 5. A further 6 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

BL9 holds the most, 9 of the 33 (27%), and the premises sit across 7 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.

2 of the five neighbours have more of these names than Bury, and 3 have fewer, so the field here is mid-sized. Neighbouring set-ups: pizza shop ordering in Rochdale and pizza shop ordering in Bolton.

Bury in the wider picture

Bury has 323 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 301 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 44 of 363 UK council areas, and 9 of 35 in North West. Across all rated takeaways in Bury, 46.4% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 12.6% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Bury is part of Greater Manchester, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts. Places in the council area include Radcliffe and Whitefield, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

Bury pizza names in numbers

Set against population, Bury has 1.7 pizza-named premises for every 10,000 residents, above the UK figure of 1.3 (ONS mid-2025 population estimate for the area: 199,271). Ranked on the same count across 363 council areas, Bury comes 87th nationally and 12th of 35 within the North West.

The word is most concentrated in M25, where 7% of the district's food premises carry it, and thinnest in BL9 at 4%. Across the whole area the share is 5.3%.

On freshness, 45% of the 33 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 38% across all 624 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Bury. The median time since inspection is 14 months for this list and 16 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.

What this means for your online ordering

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in BL9 and M25, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Bury fits the spread.
• Make the deal a menu item. Two pizzas, a side and a drink can be one item with a required choice for each part, instead of a customer typing a note.
• Tablet offline? The Chefzi Orders app rings until someone accepts or rejects. If the device is offline, Chefzi texts the restaurant and then calls.
• Plan for the Friday rush. When the oven is full, pause ordering or lengthen the prep time you give each customer when you accept the order, rather than letting orders pile up. Chefzi has no slot grid, so you control the pace from the app.
• 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).

Late-night hot food in Bury: 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. Bury's council publishes its process here: Bury 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. 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 Bury pizza shop

Treat this as an illustration, not a measurement for Bury. No published average order value exists for Bury pizza shops, so we assume £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 20 orders a week. Swap in your own figures.

Suppose 20 orders a week (about 87 a month, £25 each, £2,175 in sales) shift from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. Just Eat's published rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% with your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. At 14% those 87 orders cost £305 plus £61 VAT, £365 in all; at 30% they cost £652 plus £130 VAT, £783.

On Chefzi those 87 orders cost no commission. The flat Plus plan, which includes card payments, is £22 a month (£19 billed annually) per location excluding VAT, however busy the month is. Payment-provider card fees are left out of both sides, and any orders that stay on Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats still pay their commission.

What Chefzi does not do

Delivery stays yours: Chefzi has no courier integrations, so you use your own drivers. There is no kiosk and no CRM, and a pre-order lead time applies to the whole location rather than to a single dish. Orders that still arrive through Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats keep paying those apps' commission; Chefzi's job is to help you move regulars to your own page.
