The ‘flour’ is blooming at Milano this Spring, with the iconic pizzeria thrilled to announce the introduction of the Large Classic – a delicious new dough innovation – to coincide with the Spring menu launch.
The Large Classic, launching exclusively via delivery from Tuesday 19th March, is made with double the amount of dough as the brand’s Classic base and stretched to the size of a Romana, making it perfect for sharing. The additional dough makes for an extra-thick and large base, meaning it’s the perfect pizza to enjoy with family, friends, or on a date night at home.
Alongside the new base, Milano fans will also be thrilled to know that the brand has revisited its pizza archives to bring two of the most legendary pizzas back to the dine-in menu from 19th March for Spring.
These two unarchived pizzas will be joined by several new menu items this Spring, including:
· Romana American Hottest: Ireland’s hottest American just got hotter! Roll out the red carpet for the return of the classic flavour combination everyone knows and loves of pepperoni, tomato, mozzarella, mixed chillies and Gran Milano, with the spicy new addition of ‘nduja sausage and chilli oil.
· Soho ‘65: Enjoy a slice of heritage with the return of the Soho, this time on a Calabrese base (a unique and iconic rectangular pizza), featuring a sensation of flavours including tomato, fresh buffalo mozzarella, olives, crisp rocket and shaved Gran Milano, now known as the Soho ’65
Large Classic
An addition to the brand’s renowned Classic and Romana bases, the Large Classic comes as the brand found customers wanted to bring celebratory moments into their homes – and the sharing size of the Large Classic delivers on that need. From social get-togethers to quality time at home, Milano’s Large Classic brings people together through a shared love of pizza.
Milano Food & Beverage Director Jane Treasure said, “Pizza is the perfect sharing food, and our new Large Classic is the ideal addition to celebrations at home. With double the dough, the thicker base remains hotter for longer – ensuring our customers receive only the freshest and tastiest pizza.”
Building on the theme of sharing, home diners will also be delighted with the introduction of two additional new delivery items on the Spring menu:
Double Dough Balls Doppio: Loads (in fact 32!) of the brand’s iconic Dough Balls served with garlic butter, basil and pine kernel pesto and smoky tomato harissa, because, let’s be honest, there’s never enough!
Garlic Bread with Mozzarella Sharer: A delicious flatbread topped with creamy mozzarella and garlic – a real crowd pleaser.
Even More This Spring
The nation’s most loved pizzeria hasn’t stopped there, with additional delicious dishes and drinks springing onto the menu this month, including:
· Calzone Chicken Italiano: Chicken lovers rejoice… with slow-cooked succulent pulled chicken, a creamy béchamel sauce, mozzarella, delicious basil and pine kernel pesto and slow-roasted tomatoes – what’s not to love?
· Mushroom Arancini: A Sicilian classic joins the Milano menu with these crispy, golden risotto balls, filled with mixed mushrooms and melting provolone cheese, served with Italian tomato sauce and rocket.

· Classic Chicken & Bacon (delivery exclusive): With a base of Italian tomato sauce, topped with tender chicken, crispy Italian pancetta, roasted red and yellow peppers, creamy mozzarella and parsley, this pizza is made for enjoying on your next night in.
· Al Forno Zucchini: Penne pasta accompanied by chargrilled courgettes in a rich tomato, garlic and caper sauce will sit among the brand’s popular vegan and vegetarian dishes, which account for more than 50% of Milano’s menu.
· Chocolate Fondant: A decadent dessert, which features a molten centre of luxuriously oozy chocolate. To accompany the pudding, a scoop of cooling vanilla gelato tops the dessert, which is finished with a dusting of icing sugar.
· New cocktails: From the ‘pretty in pink’ Raspberry Cosmo Spritz, to a fruity Pimm’s Summer Cup, and new floral Elderflower G&T, Milano’s new cocktails are made for sipping on sunny Spring days (available in selected pizzerias only).
