Leeds’ restaurant launches UK’s first ever half pizza half calzone

Leeds-based Italian restaurant chain Casa Mia has launched an innovative new dish which is half pizza and half calzone, as well as introducing the UK’s first chocolate pizza.

The half pizza, half calzone dish is called pizza pazza, which is the Italian term for crazy pizza. This dish combines both a traditional Italian pizza with a flavourful Calzone to create a diverse dish that is sure to leave diners’ taste buds tingling. With a mixture of freshly baked dough, rich tomato sauce and a range of delicious toppings, the pizza pazza is sure to satisfy even the largest of appetites.

The second new addition to the menu is the UK’s first chocolate pizza. This delectable dessert is the perfect way to finish off a meal and is ideal for diners with a sweet tooth. The combination of soft dough and decadent chocolate spread with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice-cream makes this dish the ultimate indulgence!

Speaking about the new recipes, Casa Mia owner, Francesco Mazzella, said: “We are always trying to come up with exciting new dishes to add to our already extensive menu. The pizza pazza brings together two of our most popular recipes into one delicious dish so our diners get the best of both, with the chocolate pizza being the perfect treat for dessert lovers.

“Each of the new dishes has been specially developed by our expert chefs and are made using the finest fresh ingredients. These new dishes complement the existing menu perfectly and provide diners with even more choice”

The pizza pazza and the chocolate pizza are available from both the Casa Mia Coffee Shop in Chapel Allerton and Casa Mia Millennium in Millennium Square. People wanting to try either of these new dishes should call 0845 688 3030 to make a reservation or visit www.casamiaonline.com.
