This summer, 13 Crazy Pizza locations are inviting guests to discover an exclusive Martini x Crazy Pizza menu with Martini cocktails, curated by the brand in collaboration with global Martini ambassador Maura Milia to share a taste of Italian life. This reimagining of the classic aperitivo experience brings cocktails, dining, live entertainment and signature pizzas to the forefront in a unique expression of sprezzatura, or effortless elegance.
The menu's signature serve, the Martini Crazy Spritz, puts a savory twist on the classic spritz, with Martini Bianco, prosecco, soda, olive brine, cherry tomato, and fresh basil, although there are plenty of options for those who prefer notes of fresh citrus, vanilla and botanical notes, like the Bianco Spritz.
