Pizza Hot

Pizza Hot on Westerdale Road is the sister to the Pizza Hot a short walk along on Ancholme Road, both trading the same Italian-format pizza-and-kebab brand from independent operators rather than a national franchise. The Westerdale unit sits on the small Brumby parade alongside Royal China and is the busier of the two on weekend nights, and pushes its late close past midnight on Friday and Saturday for the weekend trade.

The menu reads as the standard independent pizza-and-kebab card: pepperoni and meat-feast through to specialty pizzas, calzones, garlic breads, southern-fried chicken sides, burgers, wraps and the chip-shop crossover items. Restaurant Guru places the shop in the upper third of Scunthorpe pizza rankings with a Google rating of 4.3, putting it well above the average for the immediate area. The pizzas come on either a deep-pan or thin-crust base — the kitchen does the bases in-house — and reviewer favourites pick out the meal-deal pricing, the loaded pizzas and the speed of the collection turnaround.
