Leicester based Six Hills have been awarded Britain’s Best Pizza 2025, with their nominated ‘4 Pomodori’ pizza.
The Arla Pro Britain’s Best Pizza competition launched in 2023, with operators across the UK foodservice landscape submitting their best pizza creation in a bid to win a £5K cash prize, as well as a pizza masterclass with Marco Fuso himself.
In 2025 the competition continued to heat up, with Cameron Wilson, winner of Britain’s Best Pizza 2024, joining the judging panel with pizza consultant Marco Fuso and Italian food & drink influencer Elisabetta Basile. After many rounds of paper judging and mystery dining, our three judges visited the three finalists to try the pizzas for themselves and crown a winner.
The competition has grown immensely in the three years since the launch, with the finalists being chosen from a large pool of entrants across the UK, whittled down through a series of visits from a mystery dining panel. Three main pillars were considered throughout the judging process; authenticity & baking techniques, level of innovation and sustainability.
After being narrowed down to three finalists, Six Hills, based in Leicester, prevailed to take the title of Britain’s Best Pizza 2025 with their ‘4 Pomodori’ pizza.
Six Hills have a mission to create incredible tasting experiences by using a combination of the owner’s strong Sicilian heritage and years of experience in fine dining. They source some of their ingredients from authentic Italian and local suppliers, priding themselves on customer reviews since opening in 2012. Every ingredient used on the menu tells a story, and the pizza is created to the same standard as Naples, adding a touch of fine dining quality to homemade cooking.
Carmelo Percolla, Head Chef & Owner of Six Hills said “Six Hills Cafe Bakery & Pizzeria is thrilled and deeply honoured to have been awarded Britain’s Best Pizza by Arla Pro UK, recognising our passion, dedication and commitment to creating authentic, high-quality pizza that brings people together. This incredible achievement is a testament to our hardworking team, our loyal customers, and our shared love for exceptional pizza. Winning this award from Arla Pro – a brand synonymous with quality and excellence – is truly humbling and fills us with immense pride. We hope to share this, and upcoming successes, with all of our existing and future clientele.”
Head judge Marco Fuso feels passionately about the opportunity the competition presents to operators, saying “The Britain’s Best Pizza Competition is an opportunity to celebrate the passion and creativity of pizza restaurants. This is why I’m so glad to be judging the Arla Pro Britain’s Best Pizza competition for the third year in a row.”
Gudge Roberts, Global Brand Manager at Arla Pro UK, said "This year’s Britain’s Best Pizza competition has once again highlighted the incredible passion, innovation and craftsmanship within the UK pizza community. It’s been inspiring to see chefs showcase their skills and passion while celebrating quality ingredients and great flavours. Congratulations to Six Hills on their success, a brilliant example of the excellence this competition celebrates. We’re proud to support such remarkable talent and can’t wait to see how next year’s entrants continue to raise the bar."
