A pizza chain has lodged plans for a new branch in a Norfolk town. 

Caprinos is hoping to open a new takeaway at 40 Market Street in Wymondham, the former home of Paper Wishes card shop. 

The growing chain opened its first Norfolk branch in Dereham High Street in November.

Under plans submitted to South Norfolk Council, the new Wymondham restaurant would be open between 11am and 11pm seven days a week.

The company says it sells "healthier oven baked food" than its competitors and offers a Halal menu at all its locations, totalling more than 90 branches across the UK. 

It won the Papa's Best Small Pizza Chain award in 2018, 2020 and 2022 and was also a finalist in the Best Restaurant Chain category at the British Takeaway Awards.

The vacant Market Street unit will be transformed from a retail space into a kitchen and customer waiting area. 

South Norfolk Council will decide whether to approve the application in due course.
