Wilmslow’s Wood Fire Smoke restaurant is up for a pizza the action in the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2024.
The highly-anticipated event is set to celebrate the best and most loved restaurants up and down the country, to seek out the best burgers to the most super sushi.
Wood Fire Smoke is shortlisted for the Best Pizza accolade in the North England & Midlands regional cuisine awards.
The independent pizzeria is famous for its authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. After two years of fantastic artisan markets and hundreds of private catering events, Wood Fire Smoke decided to create the Wilmslow restaurant.
The return of the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards is backed by TV favourite and takeaway aficionado, Rylan Clark (pictured), who has been enlisted to judge the Beating Heart of the Community award– a new category for 2024.
