AN ITALIAN restaurant chain has launched a new breakfast menu which includes a “breakfast pizza” and its available at a Wirral restaurant.

Prezzo has launched its brand new breakfast menu across select UK restaurants including its New Brighton branch and is offering its customers the chance to experience Italian style breakfast dishes between 9am - 12pm, seven days a week.

The top choice on Prezzo’s newly launched menu is the Breakfast Pizzulata - a pocket of hand-stretched pizza dough, wrapped around breakfast ingredients - meaning diners can enjoy the bringing together of Italy’s favourite dish and a traditional English breakfast.

Each Pizzulata is filled with creamy ricotta, vibrant rocket and house Calabrese ketchup, to ensure a burst of flavour with every bite.

Diners will be able to choose their perfect Pizzulata fillings from a range of options including egg and bacon, egg and sausage, egg and avocado or the Meaty Pizzulata, filled with The Jolly Hog bacon, sausage and ricotta.

For those with a sweet tooth, the new Dolce Pizzulata offers a sweeter pocket, filled with sliced banana, ricotta, and dusted with powdered sugar and served with Nutella.

Customers can take advantage of Prezzo’s breakfast deal too, available for £10 when ordering one of the brand new Pizzulatas and any Italian Illy coffee.

Diners will also be able to tuck into the new Full Italiano which includes The Jolly Hog bacon and sausage, fried free-range eggs, roasted tomatoes and mushrooms, all served alongside a cannellini bean ragu, Calabrese ketchup and toasted focaccia bread.

Olly Smith, Chief Culinary Officer at Prezzo said: “As a food team, we’ve spent many early mornings scouring markets across Italy, venturing from cities in the North all the way to the South. With our mission to share the joy of Italian dining, it’s here where we were inspired to bring together Italian breakfast – consisting of espressos and plenty of conversation – with traditional British breakfast staples.

Pizzulatas are a great example of that; a pocket of our hand shaped, slowly proven dough, baked in a pizza oven, filled with Ricotta and our spicy Calabrese ketchup, then made yours with a choice of brilliant bangers, bacon, fried eggs and more.  Breakfast done right, our way!”

Kids will also be able to enjoy the new Bambini Breakfast range which features children’s portions of both the new Pizzulata as well as the Full Italiano from £4. A popular choice is the Bambini Dolce Pizzulata, a smaller version of the sweet pocket, paired with banana and Nutella.
