A Celebration of Sussex

This spring, we’re looking locally for our inspiration. The rolling fields. The family farms. The producers quietly doing extraordinary things just down the road. And we thought: what if our next special pizzas were a love letter to all of that? 

Our Specials

This season we’re celebrating the very best of Sussex, from the farmers and cheesemakers to the winemakers, with two new pizzas and a glass worth raising.

Sussex Salsiccia 

Barfield’s Sussex sausage sits at the heart of our meat special. Their free-range pigs roam the fields along the Surrey–West Sussex border, and it shows in the quality. We pair the sausage with Golden Cross goat’s cheese, handcrafted on a family farm in East Sussex, our own wild garlic pesto, crema di fave (a silky broad bean cream), asparagus, mozzarella and parmesan. It’s earthy, fresh and deeply satisfying.

Sussex Festa (v) 

The vegetarian counterpart is every bit as considered. Artichoke fritti takes the place of the sausage, bringing a golden crunch that plays beautifully against the creaminess of the Golden Cross goat’s cheese. Wild garlic pesto, asparagus, mozzarella, Parmesan. It’s spring on a plate.

The Bella Disgrazia is BACK

Our Bella Disgrazia (Beautiful Disgrace) is back as our special pizza! From Monday 23rd February for seven weeks, until 12th April.

The Bella Disgrazia has always divided opinion (as pineapple on pizza tends to!) but for us it was never about proving a point, it was always about making something genuinely delicious. Our head pizza master, Antonio, has spent his ten years at Fatto a Mano thinking about what a pineapple pizza could be if it were treated with the same care as everything else we make – quality ingredients, not too sweet, not too heavy handed, just balanced in the way a good pizza should be.

We roast the pineapple slowly with chilli so it becomes soft, sweet and gently spicy. We add black pepper pancetta and mozzarella, then layer on Ventricina, a three month aged salami from central Italy made with pork, spices and red chillies. As it bakes, the edges crisp and caramelise. When it comes out of the oven, we finish it with our own ’nduja hot honey, a scattering of chives and a generous pile of 24 month aged Parmesan. It’s sweet, salty, spicy and smoky – and we think it should challenge even the sternest critics of pineapple on pizza! 

For those who prefer to go without meat, the Veggie Disgrazia keeps the same warmth and sweetness, pairing the spicy roasted pineapple with our own vegan ’nduja, mozzarella, Parmesan and chives. It can also be made fully vegan on request.

This year, £1 from every Bella Disgrazia sold will go directly to FareShare Sussex & Surrey, who redistribute surplus food to charities that turn it into meals. Last year, FareShare Sussex & Surrey helped us rescue and redistribute 7.5 tonnes of pineapples to 130 charities and community groups. This year, we are proud to support them in return.

Our Carbonara Pizza with Cooking with Bello

It’s new special time, and for this one we’ve teamed up with none other than the legendary Cooking with Bello’s Angelo Coassin, whose love for proper carbonara has converted half the internet. Angelo has spent years championing real Italian technique, shining a light on the ingredients, stories, and traditions that make dishes like carbonara truly iconic. Collaborating with him on this pizza has been an absolute joy (and yes, in Angelo’s words, we all agreed that cream in carbonara is absolutely NOT SEXY).

Our Carbonara Pizza is built around the pillars of a true Roman carbonara: crisp-edged, deeply savoury guanciale; salty, punchy pecorino; and our carbonara crema, a silky blend of egg yolk, pecorino and black pepper that brings that unmistakable carbonara richness to every bite. We finish it with pecorino chips for a little umami crunch.

This is our love letter to Rome, a pizza that honours tradition, celebrates exceptional produce, and brings Angelo’s infectious passion for Italian cooking straight to your plate.

GRAZIE ANGELO! We can’t wait for you to try it. If you’re a carbonara lover… this one’s for you.
