Crème fraiche and mozzarella as the white base

The subtle sweetness and soft, gooey texture of mozzarella add a comforting, cheese-pull quality to every slice. Treat yourself to an extraordinary culinary experience where the richness of the cheese and the refined tang of the crème fraiche create a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.

Enjoy the rich flavour of juicy figs and mild blue cheese

The toppings are what make this the blue cheese pizza of your dreams. Juicy, fresh figs complement the mild blue cheese, both added after baking the pizza, which creates a textural sensation that you need to try.

This mix of creamy, savoury cheese and sweet, juicy figs, along with their distinctive textures, transforms each bite of pizza into a culinary adventure.

Fresh rocket and walnuts on top

You can also savour the textural delights of these toppings, with the walnuts adding an enticing crunch and the rocket providing a bright, aromatic lift. Altogether, this pizza is an unforgettable experience of indulgence, where savoury, sweet, and spicy notes harmoniously blend in every bite.
