East West was founded by former engineer Devinder Singh in 2020 following a food-fuelled trip to Puglia the year before that inspired him to blend Punjabi cooking with Italian comfort food.
It rose to prominence the following year when Singh took part in the BBC’s Britain’s Best Takeaways show and the brand was crowned Best Pizza Takeaway in the country.
