Online ordering for pizza shops in Trafford

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

In short: The FSA register lists 32 premises in Trafford with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in M41 and M33. A Trafford 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 Trafford with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 24 of them registered as takeaways and 8 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in M41 (9), M33 (9), WA14 (7), M32 (3). That is 3.9% of the area's 829 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.

Customers who search for a pizza in Trafford 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 Trafford 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, 23 (72%) are rated 5 and 5 (16%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is a higher share than the 62.2% of all rated takeaways in Trafford that hold a 5. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

The districts where they sit

M41 holds the most, 9 of the 32 (28%), and the premises sit across 6 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 M41 do not set the terms for everywhere else.

Trafford in the wider picture

Trafford has 252 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 577 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 79 of 363 UK council areas, and 17 of 35 in North West. Across all rated takeaways in Trafford, 62.2% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 7.7% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Trafford is part of Greater Manchester, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts. Places in the council area include Urmston, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

Trafford pizza names in numbers

Per 10,000 residents the count is 1.3, against 1.3 for the UK as a whole, which is close to the national rate. The population used is the ONS estimate of 240,981 for the council area. By raw count, Trafford is 88th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 13th of 35 in the North West.

Across the area 3.9% of takeaway and restaurant premises carry one of these words. In M41 that rises to 7%, while in M32 it is 3%.

Inspection dates tell a second story. Of the 32 premises on this list with an inspection date, 53% were inspected in the 12 months to 13 November 2026, against 51% of all takeaway and restaurant premises in the area; the median gap since the last inspection is 12 months against 12.

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 Trafford kitchens

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in M41 and M33, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Trafford 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.
• 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.

Late-night hot food in Trafford: 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. Start from the council's licensing section: Trafford council licensing (checked 13 November 2026).

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. Book a short call: we enter your menu with you and aim to have your ordering page live within 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. Text your regulars (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro) with their permission.

A worked example for a Trafford pizza shop

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

Say 25 orders a week, about 108 a month, move from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. At £25 each that is £2,700 of sales a month. Just Eat's published partner rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% when you use your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. On those 108 orders that is £378 plus £76 VAT, £454 in all, at 14%, or £810 plus £162 VAT, £972, at 30%.

On Chefzi those 108 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: 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.
