Midweek dining often feels like a bit of a gamble. By Wednesday, the motivation to cook has usually vanished, but the prospect of a high bill often keeps us tied to the kitchen.
Zizzi is aiming to fix that with a new sharing deal that makes a spontaneous night out much more accessible. For £25, two people can now enjoy a hearty meal together, with the offer also scaling for groups of four or six.
The menu focuses on quality and variety, particularly with the pizza selection. The new Quattro Pomodoro Rustica is a standout for those who enjoy a bit of heat, featuring sunblush tomatoes and creamy burrata finished with a drizzle of crispy chilli oil.
If you are looking for something more filling, the Calzone Carne Piccante is a serious contender. It is filled with crumbled meatballs, harissa chicken, and bolognese, and it provides over 50g of protein for those keeping an eye on their macros.
The £25 price point includes a choice of a Rustica, Calzone, or Classico pizza, with two sides and two soft drinks. The side options are far from basic, ranging from garlic bread with mozzarella and caramelised onions to Courgetti Fritti or Loaded Bolognese Chips.
Prefer a lighter, more fragrant option? The Pollo & Pesto Classico offers a fresh combination of roasted chicken and Genovese pesto that brings a real taste of summer to the table.
While soft drinks are included, guests can choose to upgrade their beverage. A 330ml beer can be added for an extra £1.75 per person, or a 175ml glass of wine for £3.75, keeping the overall cost manageable while still feeling like a proper treat.
The deal is available all day Monday through Thursday, and until 5pm on Fridays. It provides a straightforward excuse to gather a few friends for a long lunch or an early dinner without any unnecessary fuss.
Bookings can be made via www.zizzi.co.uk or through the Zillionaire app. It is a welcome bit of flexibility for anyone looking to reclaim their midweek evenings.
