A city pizza restaurant has been nominated for a prestigious award by a national delivery firm. 

Brick Pizza is up for Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year in the East Midlands and East Anglia.

The pizzeria, nestled in a hole-in-the-wall style setup in Norwich Market, embraces Neapolitan food culture by making wood-fired pizzas using only fresh, local ingredients.

A spokesman for Brick Pizza said it was the firm's "good organisational skills, high-quality produce and a real enthusiasm" which set them apart from others.

The pizzeria is up against nine other businesses in a public vote including Gohan Bento & Sushi in Loughborough, Chinese Snack Box in Leicester and Tipu Sultan in Nottingham.

The overall winner of Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year scoops a £100,000 prize. 

Brick Pizza first opened as a restaurant in 2015 and in 2019 the business diversified by stocking frozen pizzas everywhere from farm shops to bakeries. 

It now produces more than 2,000 pizzas a week for 140 stockists nationwide and earlier this year the team launched Framen Ramen - restaurant-quality ramen to be enjoyed at home.
