Online ordering for pizza shops in Salford

Updated 13 November 2026. Figures come from the Food Standards Agency register as pulled on 13 November 2026. The page covers the Salford council area, and no business is named. The whole-area picture is on our Salford page.

In short: The FSA register lists 46 premises in Salford with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in M27 and M6. A Salford 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 46 premises in Salford with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 41 of them registered as takeaways and 5 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in M27 (10), M6 (7), M28 (6), M30 (5). That is 5.9% of the area's 777 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 Salford 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 Salford 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 41 with a numeric rating, 16 (39%) are rated 5 and 3 (7%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 42.4% of all rated takeaways in Salford that hold a 5. A further 5 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

M27 holds the most, 10 of the 46 (22%), 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 M27 do not set the terms for everywhere else.

How Salford compares with the council areas next to it

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

Salford in the wider picture

Salford has 333 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 444 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 40 of 363 UK council areas, and 7 of 35 in North West. Across all rated takeaways in Salford, 42.4% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 4.9% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Salford is part of Greater Manchester, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts.

Salford pizza names in numbers

Using the ONS estimate of 297,004 residents, that works out at 1.5 pizza-named premises per 10,000 people, compared with 1.3 across the UK, so Salford sits close to the national rate. By raw count, Salford is 55th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 7th of 35 in the North West.

Across the area 5.9% of takeaway and restaurant premises carry one of these words. In M27 that rises to 9%, while in M30 it is 5%.

On freshness, 33% of the 46 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 35% across all 777 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Salford. The median time since inspection is 18 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 Salford kitchens

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in M27 and M6, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Salford 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.
• 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.
• 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 Salford: 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. Salford's council publishes its process here: Salford 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. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code to every bag (QR kit).
4. Text your regulars (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro) with their permission.

A worked example for a Salford pizza shop

Treat this as an illustration, not a measurement for Salford. No published average order value exists for Salford pizza shops, so we assume £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 40 orders a week. Swap in your own figures.

Suppose 40 orders a week (about 173 a month, £25 each, £4,325 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 173 orders cost £606 plus £121 VAT, £727 in all; at 30% they cost £1,298 plus £260 VAT, £1,557.

With Chefzi the 173 orders carry 0% commission and the bill stays at the flat plan price: £22 a month on Plus (£19 billed annually), per location, excluding VAT. We have not modelled card processing fees on either side, and the example ignores orders that remain on the marketplaces.

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.
