I tried Pizza Pilgrims' festive menu in Manchester and it was delicious

Lovingly developed by James and the Pizza Pilgrims team, this year’s Christmas specials offer something brand new for pizza lovers.

The festive menu has three courses and snacks upon arrival. To start I had the garlic flatbread and smoked mozzarella bites and for my main I had mushroom & truffle pizza.

The mushroom & truffle pizza was perfect and a great alternative for vegetarians who may be sick of a margherita.

For the meat-eaters, you can also try their All I Want for Christmas is Ragu which brings together slow-cooked Neapolitan beef ragu with nduja & sausage meatballs, San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte and parmesan for a proper festive showstopper.

Additionally The Pistachio Babamisu sees the traditional Neapolitan rum baba transformed with layers of mascarpone cream, pistachio sauce and a generous scattering of crushed pistachios. Both will be available from 3rd November across all pizzerias across the UK, also via click & collect and Deliveroo.

This dessert was amazing but if you’re not a fan of rum, you can also try their Nutella pizza rings which is the perfect treat for any chocolate lover.

For group celebrations, Pizza Pilgrims’ Festive Pilgrimage menus make Christmas parties easy, no pre-orders, just bring your friends, colleagues or family and let the sharing begin. Options range from a quick and cheerful feast designed for speedy team lunches, to a more indulgent spread with antipasti, fritti, sides, unlimited crust dippers and dessert, all served family style to keep the festive spirit flowing. Prices start from £25 per person.

Christmas at Pizza Pilgrims doesn’t stop at the table. Dough It Yourself masterclasses in London, Manchester and Edinburgh make for a brilliant team activity or gift.

Make sure to head down to Pizza Pilgrims located in Deansgate for a festive feast!
