It's been almost 20 years since Fat Pizza made its debut on Australian TV screens, and now the show is set to return.

The award-winning action-comedy about the perils of life as a pizza delivery guy will air later this year on 7mate.

Watch the video above for all the details.

Having developed its urban street humour and cutting slapstick satire over six seasons and two feature films, creator and series lead, comedian Pauly Fenech says fans can expect “political incorrectness at its best” when the original Fat Pizza crew return in the upcoming season, 'Fat Pizza: Back In Business'.

“Fat Pizza is one of the boldest Aussie comedies on television,” Fenech told 7NEWS.com.au.

“Get set for bigger and cheesier storylines straight from the headlines. Social media trolls, get ready to rumble!”

Fenech reprises his lead role of Pauly Falzoni, former pizza delivery boy now boss, trying to rebuild the infamous Fat Pizza restaurant in the notorious suburb of Hashfield.

Struggling to get his business up and running, Pauly finds himself fighting with councils, street gangs, politicians and a new foe, the world of app-driven delivery services.

With underpaid workers and a pizza chef struggling with English, Pauly’s business dreams quickly turn into a living nightmare.

Reuniting with Fenech in the new season are fan favourites Mama, Sleek and Bobo. Housos characters Shazza, Vanessa and Kev the Kiwi will also feature.

The series also features a stellar guest cast including Brendan Jones, Jean Kittson, Anthony Mundine, Angry Anderson, Holly Brisley, Melissa Tkautz, Chris Franklin, Garry Who and George Kapiniaris.

There will also be a few new characters introduced this series including Chef Jin Pin, Jayden, the proud bogan Aussie and Mexican rapper Tuco Swarez.

Fat Pizza: Back In Business will premiere on 7mate in 2019.
