Pizza Central

Evenwood — the small ex-mining village south-west of Bishop Auckland — keeps a single late-night takeaway on its central parade, and Pizza Central trades to it. The menu reaches further than the name suggests: alongside the standard pizza and calzone range, the kitchen runs parmesans, a house parmo pizza pie that turns up in reviewer photos, garlic breads, kebabs, burgers and an omelette section. Opening runs deep into the early hours every night, which combined with the broad menu makes the shop a practical post-pub stop for the surrounding villages — Cockfield, Ramshaw, Butterknowle and into West Auckland. Online ordering runs through the major aggregator platforms. Pizza Central's position on The Centre parade puts it within a short walk of the village's two pubs and the working-men's club, giving it a built-in evening trade that the area's older takeaways have struggled to match in recent years.
