Crosta Mollica is bringing a taste of Italy to London with the Il Leopardo pop-up pizzeria, which gets its name from the brand’s new leopard icon and its style from Italian fashion.
With a booking, guests will be treated to an authentic Neapolitan-style pizza experience that builds on the Italian pizza brand's signature leopard-spotted sourdough crust with two complimentary toppings—like mushrooms, Prosciutto Crudo, Parmesan and Nduja. Of course, additional authentic Italian toppings are available for 50p each, however, guests will want to avoid committing cardinal pizza sins, like adding toppings such as pineapple to the Crosta Mollica Pizza Base if they want to avoid a spot on the Muro della Vergogna (the pizza wall of shame). To help pizza lovers choose the perfect toppings for a made-in-Italy experience, pizza sommeliers will be available.
