Working Girl💅 🍕
Inspired by the iconic Neapolitan Puttanesca, our June pizza special is packed with bold, vibrant flavours and a subtle wink to its origins😉
Puttanesca is one of Italy’s most famous sauces, originating in Naples and celebrated for its punchy combination of tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies🇮🇹
Its name has inspired countless stories over the years, with the most popular linking it to the “working girls” of Naples who supposedly lured customers with the irresistible aroma of the sauce. Whether fact or folklore, the dish has become a beloved classic known for its bold character and unmistakable flavour🍝
Available throughout the month of June across all our locations excluding Wembley📍
