This lifetime achievement award is in the gift of the Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association management committee and is presented only when the recipients' contribution to the industry merits this special recognition. 

This award seeks to shine the spotlight on those companies who are giving something back. Whether large or small, businesses are increasingly looking to support the community and in judging, we consider both local efforts alongside national schemes.

With deliveries one of the few thriving sectors in recent years, these awards are presented to the shining stars of the pizza delivery market. Awards will be presented in three categories: Major Chain, Small Chain (up to 100 stores) and Independent (up to 5 stores).

The pizza restaurant is a firm favourite with the British public when it comes to dining out, with many superb independents in the high street alongside the ever-popular chains. This award is given to the best of each.

There’s something about Italian food which makes it so perfect for communal eating and this award is presented to those Italian restaurants, both independent and chain, who bring food, families and friends together across the nation.

An award for new, ready-made Italian style main meal dishes. This award may be split into retail and foodservice categories.

An award for food products or ingredients which bring something new and inspiring to Italian style cuisine. This award may be split into retail and foodservice categories.

With both every-day and premium categories, there’s something for everyone and this award is presented to the best new manufactured pizza in each category.

A broad category focussing on innovative technical, environmental, marketing, packaging, equipment, and other developments (excluding new food items) which were launched during the qualifying period.
