What are Fridays for??? Pizza of course!
Here’s a #FIRSTLOOK at Pizza Luxe which has opened out at the service area on the way to Elton and Oundle:
It started with a lovely chilled glass of virgin mojito… A pizza restaurant offering luxurious pizza, made with artisan ingredients, at surprisingly everyday prices. Welcome to PizzaLuxe.
Situated at the Extra Services on the A1 / A605 junction. Black white and red is the restaurant theme. They’ve had a soft opening so this week they are open from 12pm to 8pm. Next week will be their full service and opening from 7am to 11pm.
What can you get? What’s different? Well cocktails for one… but mocktails for your driver. 😉 (however there are a lot of small villages nearby and a large stopover rate at the hotel next door so they are catering for that profile of evening trade. )
A couple of starters that stood out are:
Patate Lardo: oven roasted potatoes with melted mozzarella cheese, bacon and grated Parmesan. Oooh and ‘Pane Piccante’ a small starter pizza bread with nduja, burrata and chilli honey.
Speaking to Paul, their pizzas are thin crust, home-made with their secret sourdough recipe and a sourdough starter that’s called ‘Mother’. All their pizza 10” or 13” pizzas are served with fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
From the ‘Classics’ forget Four Cheese pizza they’ve got Cinque Formaggi with mozzarella, Gorgonzola, feta, halloumi, Romano and thyme. (From £6.50)
The nicest pizza I’ve had in a lot of years… ‘Chorizo’, now I hate hot and spicy but this pizza was amazing: chorizo, goats cheese, roasted grapes and honey!!! from the ‘Occulto’ collection. (From £8.50) De-li-cious!!
If you’re a lover of the Hawaiian; you can don’t g into their version, it’s called ‘Hawaii’ with oven-baked ham hock and a Cheyenne-roasted pineapple topping (from £6.50).
You can even design your own pizza by choosing a base sauce which can either be Rosso, Bianco or Verde – choosing between house tomato, Alfredo, or pesto and then simply choose your own two toppings.(from £7.95)
I’m impressed because I love thin, ‘very thin’ pizza! And the price is great on your pocket too.
One astonishing thing which is going to be on the menu, but not available today, is their BREAKFAST PIZZA !!! They use their sourdough for their breakfast rolls etc., but the eye catcher has to be their breakfast TOPPINGS sausage, egg, mushrooms with a sauce. 😳
They have gluten-free pizza base and vegan pizza available too.
Additional services they have;
‘Take and bake’ – raw pizza and cook at home.
‘Grab and go’ is their takeaway option and of course delivery. (Available soon.)
All finished off with a tradition affogato! Another guest for me… espresso with ice cream.
No bookings just walk right in.
