Pizza fans can anticipate a wide selection of scrumptious artisan pizzas that are created and tested by Jamie Oliver and his talented team of chefs, all made from scratch and served on special stoneware plates that retain the authentic taste and crispness of the dough.

Courgette Polo comes with crushed San Marzano tomatoes, charred courgettes, flaked chicken, gaeta olives and a duo of bocconcini. Fiorentia, on the other hand, is a white-sauce based pizza lathered with lemony ricotta, sprouting greens, anchovies and a free-range egg. Vegetarian and mushroom lovers are in for a treat with Funghi Misti, that comes with porcini mushroom sauce, roasted herby mushrooms, mozzarella and chervil and tarragon. Also, parents should take note that Jamie’s Italian offers a pizza-making party upon request as a fun and interactive way to spend some quality time with your little ones.
