On Saturday 18 November, Crust Bros will launch its first brunch menu designed in collaboration with MasterChef 2016 losers, Billy and Jack.
The Billy and Jack X Crust Bros brunch menu will feature six pizzas topped with classic brunch favourites along with a few unusual surprises, decadent dessert pizzas topped with ice cream, chocolate and coffee and bubbles on tap for those wishing to go unlimited for 90 minutes.
The Billy and Jack X Crust Bros pizza brunch menu, which can be enjoyed either at Crust Bros, Waterloo or via Deliveroo include: Avocado Gonna Go My Way with avocado, mozzarella, green pesto and coriander, topped with a Burford Brown egg (optional); Haters Gonna Hate with chestnut and porcini mushrooms, cheddar, taleggio, mozzarella and marmite; Drunk in (cheese) love with potato, caramelised onion, mozzarella and drunken cheese.
The drunken cheese Billy and Jack have selected is a pasteurised, cow’s milk cheese. The cheese is aged for 18 months, the last six months of which involve the cheese being soaked in a local wine, a process known as ‘ubriacatura’, when translated from Italian means to get blind or roaring drunk.
Crust Bros is one of the capital’s latest additions to the Italian family: the doughy goodness is cooked in true Neapolitan fashion in a wood-fired oven, and then topped with inventive combos like mozzarella, pancetta, sausage and egg or mozzarella, n’duja and rocket. Each pizza has been dubbed with killer names – Notorious P.I.G., Kaling Me Softly and White Boy – and there's also a vegan or gluten-free pie.
