When you’re craving pizza, shawarma, or Parmo in Middlesbrough, the biggest decision is simple: Should you order delivery or collect your food? At Milano’s Pizzeria & Shawarma, we offer both options to make your meal convenient, fresh, and fast. But depending on your needs, one may suit you better.
Let’s break it down so you can choose the best option for your next order.
When Delivery Is the Best Choice
Delivery is perfect when you want convenience. Whether you're relaxing at home, studying, hosting friends, or working late, Milano’s delivery service makes it easy to enjoy your meal without leaving your door.

When Collection Is the Better Option
Sometimes, collecting your food gives you even more advantage, especially when you want the meal as fresh as possible.
✔ Best for:

Your order is prepared fresh, and you can grab it piping hot straight from our oven or grill.
Which Option Saves More Money?
Collection often costs slightly less since delivery fees are avoided. If you're close to 104 Normanby Road, collection is quick, easy, and cost-effective.
Delivery, however, gives you maximum comfort and is worth the extra charge for convenience.
