About today's deal

It's a little known fact that the calzone was invented in Rome in 1768 to prevent cheeky sous chefs from pinching pepperoni off the top of pizzas.

Keep a close eye on your food with today's itison deal for any pizza, pasta or calzone for two people, plus an Aperol Spritz cocktail or glass of Prosecco, and a Zizzi Italian bread bucket on arrival at the brand new Zizzi Royal Exchange Square - all for just £19!

That's less than a tenner each for a meal, bubbly and nibbles at this new city centre Italian.

Diners can choose from classic pizzas including Diavolo with pepperoni and chillis and Fiorentina with spinach, riserva cheese and an egg, calzones such as Carne Piccante with chicken, meatballs and bolognese and a range of pasta dishes such as Linguine Arrabiata N'duja with fiery sausage, tomato sauce and mascarpone cheese.

With open air kitchens, wood burning pizza ovens, an extensive Zizzi wine and cocktail list and the stunning surroundings of historic Royal Exchange Square, it's easy to see why Zizzi is everybody's favourite Italian.

There's also a dining area on the spectacular columned entrance, perfect for summer dining after work, shopping or before a night out.
