The ovens are heating up, and Eurostar Commodities is proud to once again be the official flour sponsor of the National Pizza Awards 2026.

For the second year running, we’re delighted to be supporting one of the biggest celebrations of pizza talent in the UK, working alongside Dine Out Magazine to bring our passion for great flour, great pizza and innovation to the competition.

This year’s National Pizza Awards are particularly special as the event celebrates its 10th anniversary, bringing together some of the country’s most talented pizzaiolos, chefs, independents and restaurant groups for the ultimate pizza showdown. The live final takes place at Big Penny Social in London on Tuesday 3rd November, where 16 finalists will battle it out for the title of National Pizza of the Year.

Flour at the heart of the action

As a flour specialist with more than 30 years of experience supplying the food industry, we know that great pizza starts with great flour.

For this year’s awards, we’re proud to showcase three of our pizza-focused products:

RISE Re:Gen Strong White Flour
Our 100% British regenerative flour, grown by farmers committed to improving soil health, biodiversity and farm resilience. RISE is designed to deliver performance in professional baking while helping to support a more sustainable approach to wheat production.

GMI Tipo 1 Flour
An Italian flour offering the characteristics and performance that pizza professionals look for when creating exceptional dough. GMI brings together Italian milling expertise with a range of specialist flours developed for professional pizza makers.

Eurostar Gluten Free Pizza Bases
Because great pizza should be accessible to everyone. Our gluten free pizza bases provide a convenient option for foodservice and hospitality businesses looking to offer a quality gluten free pizza alongside their traditional menu.

Putting flour to the test

The National Pizza Awards isn't simply about creating a great-looking pizza. The competition puts pizza-making skills, ingredients and technique firmly under the spotlight.

Alongside the signature pizza round, finalists will take part in a technical challenge, creating a pizza from a selection of sponsor ingredients. Their creations will be judged on everything from the way the base is made and the flavour profile to cooking, texture, presentation, consistency and their use of ingredients.

This makes the awards a fantastic opportunity to see what talented pizza professionals can achieve when given the right ingredients and the freedom to be creative.

And we’re particularly excited to see how our flours perform in the hands of this year’s finalists.

Some of the UK's best pizza talent

The 2026 finalist line-up brings together an impressive mix of established names, independent operators and new faces from across the UK.

With such a diverse group of pizza makers competing, we’re expecting plenty of creativity when the ovens fire up in November.

More than just pizza

For Eurostar, being involved with the National Pizza Awards is about more than simply putting our name alongside an event.

Pizza is an area we’re passionate about, and we work closely with foodservice businesses, restaurants, wholesalers, manufacturers and professional bakers across the UK and beyond. From traditional Italian flours to regenerative British wheat and gluten free solutions, we’re continually looking at how we can provide the right flour for different styles of baking and pizza-making.

Our partnership with the National Pizza Awards gives us the opportunity to put those products directly into the hands of some of the UK's most talented pizza professionals — and to celebrate the skill, creativity and passion that goes into making exceptional pizza.

Bring on 3rd November!

We’re looking forward to heading to London, meeting the finalists, seeing our flours in action and, of course, sampling some seriously good pizza along the way!

As the official flour sponsor for the second consecutive year, we’re proud to be part of the National Pizza Awards and to support the people who continue to push the boundaries of what great pizza can be.

The ovens are ready. The finalists are ready. And we can’t wait to see what comes out of them.
