Online ordering for pizza shops in North Northamptonshire

Updated 13 November 2026. This page reads the Food Standards Agency register as it stood on 13 November 2026. It covers the North Northamptonshire council area, which includes Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden and names no business. For the area as a whole, see our North Northamptonshire page.

In short: North Northamptonshire has 46 premises with pizza or pizzeria in the name on the FSA register, most in NN16 and NN8. A North Northamptonshire pizza shop can run its own ordering page with Chefzi: £9 to £49 a month per location (ex VAT), 0% commission ever, first month free with no card.

The register lists 46 premises in North Northamptonshire with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 38 of them registered as takeaways and 8 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in NN16 (11), NN8 (11), NN14 (7), NN17 (4). That is 6.8% of the area's 681 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 4.5% across the UK, so the word is more common here than in the UK as a whole.

Customers who search for a pizza in North Northamptonshire meet a crowded field. Your own ordering page gives them a direct route to your kitchen without a marketplace between you and the customer.

What the FSA register shows for North Northamptonshire 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 44 with a numeric rating, 31 (70%) are rated 5 and 1 (2%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 69.7% of all rated takeaways in North Northamptonshire that hold a 5. A further 2 are awaiting inspection, awaiting publication or exempt. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

The districts where they sit

NN16 holds the most, 11 of the 46 (24%), and the premises sit across 8 postcode districts in all. Set a delivery zone for each district you serve with its own fee, minimum order and time, so the busy streets near NN16 do not set the terms for everywhere else.

North Northamptonshire in the wider picture

North Northamptonshire has 289 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 392 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 59 of 363 UK council areas, and 4 of 35 in East Midlands. Across all rated takeaways in North Northamptonshire, 69.7% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 3.4% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. North Northamptonshire is part of Northamptonshire, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts. Places in the council area include Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

How common pizza names are in North Northamptonshire

Per 10,000 residents the count is 1.2, against 1.3 for the UK as a whole, which is close to the national rate. The population used is the ONS estimate of 379,569 for the council area. On the register, only 54 council areas have more of these names than North Northamptonshire; within the East Midlands it ranks 3rd of 35.

NN16 is the district where the name is most common relative to local food premises (10%); NN17 is the lowest of these four at 5%. The area-wide share is 6.8%.

Inspection dates tell a second story. Of the 46 premises on this list with an inspection date, 30% were inspected in the 12 months to 13 November 2026, against 38% of all takeaway and restaurant premises in the area; the median gap since the last inspection is 18 months against 16.

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 North Northamptonshire kitchens

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in NN16 and NN8, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of North Northamptonshire fits the spread.
• 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.
• 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.

Late-night hot food in North Northamptonshire: what to check

If you sell hot food or drink after 11pm and before 5am, the Licensing Act 2003 treats it as late night refreshment, so you normally need the council's licence. North Northamptonshire's council publishes its process here: North Northamptonshire 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. Put your menu into Chefzi on a short call with us. We set it up with you and aim to have you 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. Point your Google Business Profile at the page (how) and tuck a QR code into every order (QR kit).
4. Once customers agree to hear from you, send them the link (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro).

A worked example for a North Northamptonshire pizza shop

This is an illustration, not a measured figure for North Northamptonshire. We have no published average order value for North Northamptonshire pizza shops, so it uses £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 45 orders a week. Put your own numbers in.

Suppose 45 orders a week (about 195 a month, £25 each, £4,875 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 195 orders cost £683 plus £137 VAT, £819 in all; at 30% they cost £1,462 plus £292 VAT, £1,755.

On Chefzi the same 195 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 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.
