Nutella and gelato pizza

Why restrict your pizza consumption to main meals only? Enjoy a dessert version of the dish with this untraditional concoction at La Mamma. Instead of a standard, circular pie, this Naples inspired ‘pizza’ sees portions of crispy, fried dough topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream, brown sugar and drizzled with hazelnut spread.

the city’s biggest

Russo’s New York Pizzeria offers up traditional Yankee-sized slices that are big enough to fold with your hands. In fact, that’s the only way you should be eating these triangles of temptation. And if that wasn’t enough, you can order up an extra- large party version of the pies on offer that measures an impressive 28 inches – that’s roughly the height of a one-year old baby.
