“Despite the challenges of the pandemic we’ve been able to continue our expansion and make an impact in the market.”

Run by the Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food Association, the PAPA awards recognise those in the hospitality and retail sectors for providing quality Italian food.

A PAPA Awards spokesperson said: “We have introduced this category for 2021 in order to recognise some of the newer chains that are beginning to have real impact across the market.”
