Bolton is North West's 'bargain pizza-purchasing paradise' according to figures
Pizza is one of the all-time go-to takeaway options for many, and thankfully for Boltonians, it won't dent their wallets too much either it seems.
According to catering equipment specialists Alliance Online, Bolton is the "third-cheapest" place in the UK to buy the Italian classic - tied with Huddersfield.
Only Leeds and Middlesbrough beat the town, making it the North West's "pizza-purchasing paradise".
The average price for a 12" margherita is £8.07 in the town, just 13p more expensive than the mean pizza price in Middlesbrough.

The highest-rated pizza restaurant according to Google Reviews is Pizza 4 World in Bradshawgate.
Although a large margherita there will set you back £12.99, so there is clearly a cost put on that premium.
However, if you're looking for a bit more of a budget meal, Pizza 2 Go in Entwistle Street sells 12" cheese and tomato for £7.99, with a 7" costing just £3.49.
Commenting on the findings, Rachael Kiss from Alliance Online said: 'The UK is a nation of pizza lovers, and our research uncovers the best places to enjoy a slice (or two) without spending a fortune. Northern England, in particular, stands out as the most budget-friendly region for pizza enthusiasts.
'As proud suppliers of pizza pans, ovens and equipment to independent restaurants and takeaways across the UK, we've seen first-hand the skill and dedication that goes into crafting the perfect pizza. Whether you're a professional chef or simply enjoy making pizza at home, the right tools can make all the difference in achieving that authentic taste.'
The only other place in Greater Manchester to make it in the top 10 for cheap pizzas was Manchester, with an average price of £8.79 for a 12" margherita.
