Bella Italia launches Brit-alian Breakfast Pizza

To coincide with British Sausage Week (2-8 November), Bella Italia is launching the “Brit-alian Breakfast Pizza” in its restaurants across the UK.

Believed to be a first for a UK restaurant, the dish combines all you would expect from a hearty Full English but cooked on a crispy, thin-crust pizza base.

Bella Italia's development chef, Vittorio Lettieri, who masterminded the dish, said: "It's a real sizzler that won't disappoint."

"The British love their bangers. They're as much of a national institution as the Italian pizza so we thought we'd celebrate British Sausage Week by combining the two."

The pizza features an award-winning Lincolnshire sausage produced by John Pettit butchers in Grimsby along with bacon, mushrooms, eggs and tomatoes.

The dish will be available in Bella Italia from the 2nd November until the end of the month, while stocks last. Due to high demand for the locally produced sausages Bella only has a limited batch, so get in there quick.
