Pizza Land food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Sunderland

Pizza Land holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the takeaway met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 20 March 2026, 5 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

94% of rated food businesses in Sunderland score 4 or 5, so this is a normal, good result for the area. See all Sunderland ratings →

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Pizza Land none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

When was Pizza Land last inspected?

Pizza Land was last inspected on 20 March 2026, 5 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Sunderland Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Pizza Land?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

Who decides the rating?

Sunderland Council inspects Pizza Land and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
