Sainsbury's has partnered with Deliveroo to trial pizza delivery from its stores, in a bid to take a slice of the fast-growing delivery market.
The scheme launched on Monday in five stores, marking the first time a UK supermarket has offered hot takeaways through Deliveroo.
Customers living near the branches in Cambridge; Selly Oak, Birmingham; West Hove, East Sussex; Pimlico, central London; and Hornsey in north London will find the option listed alongside local restaurants.
They will also be able to order snacks and drinks from Sainsbury's alongside their pizzas, with a wider range of products set to be added during the pilot.
Clodagh Moriarty, Sainsbury's group chief digital officer,said: "With more and more shoppers looking for convenient and affordable meals delivered to their doors, our trial with Deliveroo brings our great value hot food direct to customers' homes.
"We're committed to making it as quick and easy as possible for our customers to shop with us and we'll be listening to their feedback throughout the trial to understand how we can best serve their hot food delivery needs."
Pizza counters usually close at 8pm, but this will be extended to 10pm between Monday and Saturday during the trial.
Justin Landsberger, Deliveroo's commercial director, said: "We're excited to launch Sainsbury's on Deliveroo and bring even more choice to our customers around the UK.
"At Deliveroo we pride ourselves on providing customers with an excellent selection of food options, catering for every occasion and this new partnership will allow us to do that."
It is the latest move by a British supermarket to capitalise on demand for fast deliveries.
Morrisons and Amazon last month deepened their partnership by expanding same-day delivery of groceries to five new UK cities.
Online grocer Ocado has also ramped up its offering with the Ocado Zoom service, which aims to deliver in just one hour.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
