PROPERONI® Sponsors the National Pizza Awards

PROPERONI® at the National Pizza Awards 2025

PROPERONI® is still buzzing after an incredible evening as the Official Pepperoni Sponsor at the National Pizza Awards 2025! The event is one of the biggest dates in the UK pizza calendar, celebrating the country’s most talented chefs, standout pizzerias, and the innovation shaping pizza culture nationwide.
