Pizza Base

Pizza Base on Derby Street is one of Burton-upon-Trent's veteran pizza takeaways — a small independent shop trading since the 1980s, in a corner of the town centre that has seen most of its neighbours come and go three or four times in that span. The menu is a straightforward pizza-and-deal operation: bases at nine, twelve and fourteen inches, a long topping list running through the standards into chicken tikka and donner-meat builds, plus a side board of garlic bread, wings, chips and a handful of kebab options.

Buy-one-get-one-free pizza deals and meal-combo party builds are the main draws — pricing on Restaurant Guru and Yelp shows nine-inch builds around eleven pounds and bigger sizes scaling up with sides. Reviewers consistently mention the Plaza-style Spicy Beef and Onions and the standard pepperoni as their regular orders, with portion size getting the most repeat praise.

The unit is small and collection-led; delivery runs to the immediate central-Burton ring plus the Anglesey Street and Branston Road area. A solid old-school pizza takeaway with a stable Google rating around the high threes that has held up against newer competition from Caspian, Galaxy and the various Branston Road independents.
