A family-run pizza restaurant in Elm Park has won a Good Food Award for the sixth year running.

The Fat Pizza in Elm Parade, has been named as a Gold Seal Good Food Award Winner in the takeaways category for 2024/25.

The Gold Seal not only recognises a restaurant's food quality, service and value, but also highlights that the business has achieved "consistently high" customer ratings and votes over three years.

The Fat Pizza is the only Good Food Award winner in Havering for 2024/25, across all six categories.

Amongst the takeaway's offerings are a Paneer Masala, doner kebab, and bacon and egg - nicknamed  The Fat Breakfast Pizza.

It also sells healthier options, with some pizzas starting at 500 calories, and has recently expanded its menu to include protein power bowls and "hearty" salads.

The Fat Pizza staff also make the dough themselves, instead of using pre-prepared dough balls or frozen bases, something mentioned on the Good Food Award website.
