More Pizza Please

Hello Foodie Lovers! As you know I am a found believer that all meals should be:  

A. Instagramable 

B. Easy to make 

C. As tasty as a Rainbow. 

What is even better is when someone else is cooking it for you and at one of my high street faves: Pizza Express! Now my usual staples are dough balls - if you don't like these you are literally CRAZY (gluten free doughie balls are also now available, stepping up their food game) and the Leggera Pizza (or Skinny Pizza in plain English) it has a thinner crust and a hole cut out in the middle for a little salad. I do not go for this pizza for the skinniness, that's ridiculous! I go for it because is filled full of goats cheese yumminess caramelized onions, spinach, red onion, tomato and garlic oil!!! And then I ruin it by adding a litre of chilli oil to add heat! GAWD I wanna go back! 

Anyway the last time I visited I stepped out of my pizza comfort zone and tried something new. The boyfriend never goes for the same thing he always goes for the newest thing on the menu and I thought I like you way your thinking and with a brand spanking new Autumn menu I thought I would give it a whirl although I did not in no way, shape or form give up dough balls!!!

So for drinks, I have had this before and it's a keeper a raspberry lemonade I actually think this is from the summer menu but I hope it stays.

For starters, like I said before dough balls was the first thing ordered then I went for Risotto Fresco. I usually don't go for a Risotto as the one I make at home is pretty amazing and I get a bit full of myself and think nothing can compete so Pizza Express had to beat some pretty high expectations! Anyway.. Risotto Fresco is Autumn in a bowl with oak-roasted and peppered salmon in a creamy, white wine, garlic sauce with cheesy goodness and fresh tomato and onion with my boo chilli oil to finish it off in style. FYI the portion is huge you can defo share.  

Moving on to the main event the PIZZA's, we tried the two newbies the Rustichella Romana, tasting like a Caesar salad on pizza with pancetta, mozzarella, tomato, gran milano cheese, tomato and rocket drizzled with a Caesar dressing. Next up is the Basilicata Romana a spicy lamb meatball pizza, perfect for my tastebuds throwing in red onion, mozzarella, garlic oil. The Basilicata also has a Capia pepper and tomato base which was pretty darn tasty! This is then sprinkled with rocket more cheese and basil pesto.

I was too full to fit any more food in my belly but the desserts did sound tasty with a honeycomb cream slice and a chocolate fondant.

Right I am off to re-order this on Deliveroo!

Retro Foodie Favourites are BACK!

When you fall in love with a dish, chocolate bar or just in general a foodie brand you know exactly what you are going to order

Hello Zinger burger with fries and lemonade but it's a sad sad day when a favourite is taken away from you. It's like you lose a finger when Gourmet Burger Kitchen changed the recipe for the Habanero burger...I never been went back, it was a dark day in the Kay household. 

I am not sure about you but 90% of my monies goes on food and that may be why my waist line is going up and up on the tape measure so some of these are disappearances do have a silver lining but anyway this week it came to my attention not not one but two brands I love are bringing back old foodie faves and it made me think about food I wish would come back on a magical fairy. 

1. Etna Pizza, Pizza Express, via Deliveroo

It's back you say, but you cant find it on the menu?! That is because there is a a secret way of accessing this Pizza of hot meaty goodness and it's from the dudes that hop on their bikes with a big kangaroo on their bags - any guesses it yet ?! Deliveroo. The Etna pizza left it's fans last year but do not fret if you order with Deliveroo you will find it on the menu. 

If you have not tried Etna before tear away from you favourite and try this spicy 'nduja sausage paired with sweet and spicy roquito chilli peppers. Sooo tasty!  If you have not used Deliveroo before just download the mobile app (here), Deliveroo website or Pizza Express also if you want £10 credit use my direct link, here. You can be like me and watch the minutes count down and greet you driver just before he arrivea :-) 25 mins is all mine took! 

2. Krispy Kreme Vintage Collection

Another tasty favourite of mine and the perfect accompaniment after a first pizza is the new limited edition Vintage collection from Krispy Kreme with the likes of Powdered Blueberry, Pumpkin Spiced Cake, Cruller, and Glazed Kreme doughnuts to feast on how could you resist!! You only have until the 16th October. 

3.  Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I know I mention two but there is actually a third favourite who is back in town that I need to mention (this is not a food but something equally important in my

life) I have finally got my

Hands on the new Harry Potter book 'The Cursed Child' and I did really enjoy it and can see the play being amazing but as a book there was not enough I wanted to hear JK Rowling's way of writing which was not their and the endless stories entwined - JK if you read this please write another.

What foodie favourite would you like to come back?

This post is a collaboration but all thoughts and love for all things old and tasty or HARRY POTTER are my own.
