A Scottish pizzeria serves a calzone filled with a Mars candy bar

Until a few years ago, Hawaiian pizza was by far the most controversial in the world. The marriage of its salty components such as cheese and ham with pineapple has never been unanimous (the Icelandic president even wanted to ban it from his country… before reversing his decision) among purists of Italian food . However, other questionable options have since appeared, such as the cotton candy pizza or the one that includes peas and mayo (we haven't figured out the connection either). the current time). But we may have found the champion in all categories with the creation of Roman's Pizzeria located in Glasgow, Scotland.

A caloric intake equivalent… to the daily needs!

This is the equivalent of a woman's daily calorie requirement. Fraser Walker, the manager of the pizzeria, explains to the site Metro how did he come up with this crazy idea:“The restaurant opened its doors 5 and a half months ago. We wanted something on the menu that would change from the ordinary. We are renowned for our traditional Italian pizzas. After chatting with the chef, we found the calzone at the Mars ". And since it went on sale in early October 2018, the dessert (is it really a dessert, by the way?) has been hugely successful across Glasgow, and orders have reportedly been placed since. Germany. Why not… Have fun, okay, but we remember that you should avoid eating too much fat and too much sugar. That's good, we didn't really like this new kind of pizza... Neither did you?
