National Pizza Awards

Entries to the 2024 National Pizza Awards are now closed. Stay tuned for our finalist announcement. 

The National Pizza Awards is the hospitality industry's first dedicated quest to find Britain’s finest pizza.

The event is open to chefs from across the restaurant, quick service, pub, bar and hotel sectors, giving pizza professionals the chance to showcase their potentially winning pizza to the trade. The 16 finalists will compete in a series of challenges, starting with cooking their signature pizza in front of a hand-selected panel of expert judges, before creating a technical pizza featuring a specific selection of ingredients supplied by our event sponsors. Competitors will also take part in a Plant-Based round.

The pizzas are judged on:
• Method
• Flavour profile
• How well the pizza is cooked
• Aesthetic and presentation
• Texture, quality and consistency
• Choice and use of ingredients
