Godfathers Pizza

Godfathers Pizza sits on Branston Road, one of central Burton-upon-Trent's busy inner takeaway corridors, opposite Spice Land and a short walk from the Ali Babas operation a few doors up. The shop is a long-running pizza-and-burger independent — the kitchen turns out a wide topping range from the standard pepperoni and meat-feast builds through to chicken-tikka and donner-meat versions, with sides of burgers, wings, garlic bread and chips.

Reviews are mixed. Regulars praise the generosity of the toppings and the freshness of the dough — pizzas described as not overly greasy, with cheese laid on thickly — while some complaints centre on delivery times when the kitchen is busy and the usual late-night issues with order accuracy. Pricing aligns with the rest of the Branston Road independents at the lower end of the local pizza market.

The shop is collection-and-delivery rather than sit-in, listed across Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo for orders right across central Burton, with hours that run late through the week and well past midnight at weekends.
