A POPULAR North Wales kebab house has made it onto the radio after its musical promotional parody went viral.
Based in Llangollen, 'Street Pizza' has taken social media by a storm this week after its hilarious promotional video reached millions online.
The pizza and kebab house, which is highly praised by locals, is owned by married couple Jimmy and Fatima Hamil, originally from Bulgaria.
The duo launched the business back in 2013 and never thought one day their Grease musical parody would feature on the radio!
The pair sing along to well-known hits while promoting their shop's most popular menu items. Despite being a little off-beat, customers love them and have featured in a few videos themselves while waiting for their orders.
On April 3 the video, which has gone viral on social media, featured on BBC Radio 2 several times, including on the Scott Mills show.
Before playing the song, Scott said: “They’ve taken the karaoke classic ‘You’re the one that I want’ from Grease with John and Olivia.
”Now, it’s not fully in time but that’s the beauty of it.”

Jimmy said the whole thing has been "crazy" for them and the business.
He continues: "We hope to get on the stage with Tom Jones in the summer!
"Llangollen people are lovely and very welcoming to us and we love to talk to all of the different tourists that visit Llangollen and the shop.
