Crosta Mollica already have quite the reputation for their excellent ready-made pizza bases. If you haven't already cottoned on to them as a great home pizza option, now you can have a chance to try the pizzas out first, with the help of some expert pizza makers.
The authentic Italian pizza brand is opening a pop-up pizzeria in Shoreditch, Il Leopardo, for just two days. From there, you'll be able to order what are surely going to be London's best-value pizzas, with all the pizzas starting at £2.50 (which just happens to be the same price the bases are available from supermarkets). Every pizza will include two toppings, such as mushrooms, prosciutto crudo, Parmesan and nduja, but if that's not enough for you, you can add more for just 50p each. Drinks (including Italian Spritz, wine and beer) and Crosta Mollica's Tartufi gelato truffles will be available too.
If you're not quite sure what to go for, there will be what they're calling a "pizza toppings sommelier" who will be on hand to advise on combinations. And while they do have pineapple and BBQ chicken available, they're also planning a "Muro della Vergogna" (pizza "Wall of Shame") for anyone who dares to choose those.
And on top of all of that, proceeds from the pop-up go to charity EMERGENCY, which provides healthcare to people affected by war, poverty and landmines worldwide. So you get to eat out for a great price and do some good.
If you fancy a great deal on pizzas in Shoreditch, put this pop-up in your diary.
