Planning around Fireaway opening hours
Late trading runs right through the Fireaway network, but each branch sets its own timetable. Read the usual shape of a day, then check the store you actually mean to order from.

When to order
Order before the evening rush and a late-night slot is far easier to judge. Hours change branch by branch, so treat any general timetable as a starting point only.
Trading day
The usual shape of a trading day
Most branches open around lunchtime and trade through the evening, with the bulk of orders landing between six and nine. From there, patterns diverge. City and student-area branches often run a late tail, while commuter-town stores may wind down earlier once the post-work surge has passed.
Lunch trade exists but is thinner. If you want a quick midday order in a busy area, you will usually find a branch open, though the menu focus tends to be on individual portions rather than group bundles.
A typical day, hour by hour
- 11:00 Kitchens open in most branches; lunch portions and quick individual orders.
- 12:30 The midday lull lifts a little; still the calmest stretch of the day.
- 17:30 The evening wave starts building as commuters get home.
- 18:00–21:00 The busiest window across the network — queues build quickly inside it.
- after 21:00 Branches split: some keep trading late, others finish once the peak clears.
Opening time shared across Fireaway branches we list: 11:00 – 23:00 daily. Individual stores vary around this.
Late-night pizza
Late-night availability by branch type
Late opening shows up most consistently in dense urban areas and student districts. Manchester Fallowfield, sitting in a student-heavy part of the city, is built for demand that peaks well after the usual dinner window. That kind of branch is the most likely to be trading into the small hours.

Urban & student districts
The most reliable late tail — kitchens keep taking orders well past the usual dinner window. Fallowfield in Manchester is the clearest example in the network we cover.

Smaller towns
They can surprise you. Bideford lists trading hours that extend into the late evening and past midnight on some days, which is unusual for a town of its size. City density alone does not decide how late a store trades.
Hours in commuter and retail corridors
Commuter-belt towns follow their own rhythm. Dartford sees a hard early-evening peak as people arrive home, then a second, gentler wave later on — a branch geared to that pattern is at its busiest right when you might expect it to be quiet.
Pattern
Commuter town, 17:00–19:00
Hard peak · queue forms fast
Pattern
Second wave, 19:30–21:30
Gentler · closer to normal
Pattern
Retail corridors, weekends
Later close · busiest Friday, Saturday
The practical upshot: if you live in a commuter town, ordering at eight can be quicker than ordering at seven. The first rush has cleared by then, so the kitchen has caught up with the backlog.
Exceptions
Weekends, holidays and exceptions
Weekend hours often run later, and Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest windows of the week. Bank holidays, major sporting fixtures and local events all shift demand, sometimes pushing branches to close early or stay open longer than scheduled.
Public holidays are the least predictable. A branch that normally trades late may run reduced hours on a bank holiday Monday, and staff availability can change things at short notice across the network.
A simple habit
On a bank holiday or a big match evening, check the branch status an hour or two before you plan to order. A static timetable often will not have caught the change yet.
Bank holiday and match-night hours are the least predictable part of any published schedule.
Why hours vary between branches
Fireaway branches are locally operated, which means each one sets hours around its own staffing, its catchment and its local competition. A franchise model produces consistency in the menu and inconsistency in the timetable. That is normal, not a fault.
It also means a general answer about opening hours is only ever approximate. The only reliable source is the specific branch you intend to order from, checked on the day you order.
What is consistent
- Shared Menu, crust styles and the way orders are built.
- Local Opening time, last order cut-off and close.
- Check daily Live branch status on the day matters more than any published timetable.
How this page stays useful
Published hours go stale. That is why every timetable on this guide is written as a starting point, and why we point you at the live branch status instead of a fixed list.
How we keep branch information usefulHow to check before you order
Open your chosen ordering platform or the brand channel, enter your postcode, and look at the branch status. That reflects live opening rather than a published schedule. If a branch shows as closed, try another nearby store before giving up on the evening.
For planned orders, checking a few hours ahead is useful because it flags early closures that a static listing will not catch.
Timing your order
The single most useful habit is ordering before the peak rather than during it. A pizza placed at 6.45 in a busy commuter town often arrives sooner than one placed at 7.15, even though both sit inside opening hours. Kitchens have a throughput limit, and the queue builds fast.
Ordering late
If you are ordering late-night, give yourself margin. A branch closing at midnight may stop taking delivery orders well before that, so a 10.30 order is safer than an 11.30 one.
Questions people ask before ordering late
Short answers to the things that come up most often when visitors plan an evening order. For anything branch-specific, check the store's live status.
What time does a typical fireaway pizza branch open and close?
Across the branches this guide covers, 11:00 to 23:00 daily is the shared reference timetable. In practice, opening time and close time are set branch by branch, so treat that as a starting shape rather than a promise for the store you are ordering from.
Which branches are most likely to be open late?
Dense urban and student areas run the most consistent late tail, and Manchester Fallowfield is a clear example. But it is not the whole story: Bideford in Devon trades into the late evening and past midnight on some days, which shows a small town can carry a genuinely late store too.
Do hours change on bank holidays or match nights?
Often, yes. Bank holidays, big sporting fixtures and local events all move demand, and some branches respond by closing early or staying open longer than usual. Staff availability can change things at short notice too, so checking on the day is the safest habit.
Is lunchtime a good time to order for delivery?
It can be, because lunch trade is quieter than the evening across most branches. You will usually find a store open in a busy area, and the menu focus tends to sit on individual portions rather than group bundles at that hour.
Why do two nearby fireaway branches close at different times?
Each Fireaway branch is locally operated, so hours are set around local staffing, the surrounding catchment and the competition on that high street. That produces a consistent menu and a varying timetable, and it means a general answer about opening hours is only ever approximate.
When you are ready
Plan the order around the hours you have
Check the store first, then build the order with time to spare. If you are unsure whether a specific branch trades late on the evening you need, ask before you commit — that is the fastest route to a straight answer.
