Heavenly Pizzas

Heavenly Pizzas, one of the largest independent pizza delivery operators in the north east of Scotland. The Aberdeen headquartered company has two branches in Aberdeen, one in Kintore and one in Stonehaven.

Established in 1994, Heavenly Pizzas has grown steadily from one to four stores and the company now employs 60 members of staff as well as having a large fleet of delivery vehicles. Heavenly Pizzas is no stranger to awards as managing director James Cummings was shortlisted for the Ian Davidson Award for Entrepreneurship at the Grampian Awards for Business Enterprise last year. The business was also a runner up in 1999 in the Best Pizza Takeaway and delivery outlet in the UK category, and has been in the top four every year since.

The company embarked on Investors In People status in 2004, placing training at the forefront of the future development of the business. Computerised ordering systems have recently been installed in all stores, forming the basis of many the company’s creative marketing campaigns and the platform from which many Heavenly Pizza customers are targeted through e-commerce.

James Cummings, managing director of Heavenly Pizzas, says, “Being selected as a finalist in the Grampian Awards for Business Enterprise for the second time is a real honour. We have worked incredibly hard over the last few years to put systems in place to move the business forward and expand. Investing in training and staff development has been the major factor in our rapid growth and we want to build on this to achieve our long term goal of becoming the largest independent pizza retailer in Scotland.”

James continues, “We have a team of hardworking staff at Heavenly Pizzas, which strives to deliver high quality products to the public and we pride ourselves on maintaining high standards, using only the freshest ingredients and pizza dough. Winning this award would be a testament to the hard work and effort that has gone into making Heavenly Pizzas the successful company that it is today.”
