Pizza Hot

Pizza Hot — known on most directory listings as Hot Pizza and Chicken — has been a fixture of the Pear Tree Road end of Normanton for many years, with long-term regulars reporting orders going back over a decade. The shop works the standard late-night Normanton mix: pizzas, kebabs, burgers, southern-fried chicken and a small chip-shop sideline, all from a counter-service shopfront on the parade close to the junction with Peartree Crescent. Pizzas and donner-and-chips are the volume sellers, with the kebab end of the menu drawing the steadier praise from regulars.

Trade is split between collection — which is what most of the Normanton local custom does — and a delivery footprint that reaches across south Derby. The team have built a reputation on friendliness and keen pricing rather than fine dining, and the shop stays open well into the evening to catch the late trade pulling off Osmaston Road. It is one of the older surviving names on a parade that has seen plenty of turnover, and remains a reliable enough option for a fast, low-cost feed.
