Authentic Italian pizza and top-tier telly, right on your sofa
Other dishes might compete for this important honour, but everyone knows that really and truly, the very best food for a night on the couch, in front of the TV, is a hot, cheesy pizza, fresh from the oven.
As everyone also knows, however, not all pizzas are created equal – and the only supermarket brand that can claim to actually give a proper taste of modern Italy is Crosta Mollica.
These pizzas are made in Italy, and with slow-proved dough and authentic topping combinations, you won’t find a Hawaiian, any sweetcorn, or a chicken tikka pizza in their range – this is pizza non per tutti, or “not for everyone”. It’s serious Italian stuff: wood-fired, Neapolitan style, sourdough pizza, to be enjoyed in your living room, for nights where you don’t feel like a compromise.
So if it’s premium Italian food you’re after, Crosta Mollica’s quality ingredients, vibrant flavours, and irresistibly soft dough offer just that, all in the comfort of your own home – without the airfare. Here are four of our favourites and the shows we think they go perfectly with for a seriously grand Italian night in. We’re like sommeliers, but for telly.
