Looking to get a slice of the action? These five pizza restaurants have all opened up shop in Ipswich over the last year or so.

Across the town the pizza scene has been booming, with many new restaurants opening up for hungry customers to enjoy a cheese and tomato treat.

Here are five of the newest pizza places in Ipswich you 'knead' to know about.

Dough & Co

Dough & Co opened in Ipswich last summer and cooked up a storm in the Cardinal Park area.

The newly-emerging chain also has sites in Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and Sudbury, among other spots.

Storico

In Northgate Street, Storico uses wood fires and leaves its dough to rise for 48 hours before baking.

The restaurant opened in January of this year and offers an extensive pizza menu, alongside traditional Italian starters.

Sourdough Street

Moving into the old Pizza Express restaurant in Lloyds Avenue, Sourdough Street specialises in sourdough pizza – with takeaway and delivery options available.

The restaurant was opened by Toni Scanu who looked to draw on his Italian heritage to bring Sardinian cheese, wine and beer to the Suffolk town.
