Pizza Planet

Pizza Planet is the pizza-and-kebab option on the West Cornforth High Street parade — the small ex-mining village locals more often call Doggy — sitting alongside the Oriental Palace Chinese and Fry Time chippy on the same compact village strip. Together the three shops give the village an unusually broad three-format takeaway choice for its population size, keeping the evening trade in the village rather than draining it east to Ferryhill or north to Coxhoe. The kitchen runs the working pizza-format menu the area expects: pizzas, calzones, kebabs in wraps and trays, burgers and the standard side range, with delivery and collection both offered. The High Street position puts the shop within walking range of the surrounding residential streets, the village working-men's club and the parish trade — giving the small parade its built-in weekend-evening rhythm. For West Cornforth customers, the three-shop High Street pairing — chippy, Chinese, pizza — represents the village's complete evening takeaway offer, and Pizza Planet's position as the Italian-leaning option of the three completes the spread. The village's small kerbside-parking setup on the parade gives the collection trade the practical advantage of off-strip stopping, avoiding the central Ferryhill town-centre parking pressure that the area's larger takeaway parades have to deal with at weekend peaks.
