Pinpointing all the best spots for pizza-lovers looking to indulge on a budget, the new study conducted by catering equipment specialists Alliance Online, who supply pizza equipment amongst other items, has revealed the cheapest towns and cities in which to enjoy a pizza.

The data analysed the average cost of a 12“ takeaway Margherita across the UK’s 50 most populated towns and cities, with the North of England outshining the South where price is concerned.
