Shrewsbury pizza business which survived fire celebrates second anniversary
An artisan pizza takeaway business that survived being closed for six months after a fire has celebrated its second anniversary in style.
Fireaway Shrewsbury opened on February 15, 2021, but had to close in June of the same year following a small fire and did not reopen until December.
Manager Gav Kandola, whose family owns the local franchise, said they were very excited to be passing the milestone, and marked Wednesday's special day with 50 per cent off.
"The store reopened after many challenges and obstacles in December 2021 and we are very excited to gain business growth and most of all keep our customers at the heart of everything we do," said Gav.
The shop sits in Castle Gates in the town opposite the railway station, and offers deals to workers at the station.
The shop is also popular with late night revellers who can see their pizzas being made in a 400-degree oven. They say they can cook a pizza using fresh ingredients in 180 seconds. The shop uses dough that is made in store and rolled.
Gav added: "To support the difficult times that we all face the store offer many deals and works closely with the community, just to mention buy one get one free on Tuesdays."
"The store is very close to Shrewsbury train station and all security and staff that work for Transport for Wales enjoy a half price pizza anytime any week day and often come for pizza and a chat."
