Cluckin’ tasty: Amelia Dimoldenberg with the new chicken nugget pizza
(Picture: Handout)Putting chicken on pizza might be considered sacrilege among purists but now, with the help of a famously pro-poultry YouTuber, one of London’s best pizza joints is setting out to change that.
Yard Sale Pizza has teamed up with Amelia Dimoldenberg, host of the hugely popular Chicken Shop Date series, to launch a chicken nugget creation — or, to give it its official name, the Amelia Dimz Extremely Edible Chicken Nugget Pizza.
The pizza itself will consist of chicken nuggets, red onions, roquito peppers and fior di latte mozzarella, atop a tomato and BBQ base. A vegan version will substitute in plant-based This Isn’t nuggets and dairy-free “mozzarella” from I Am Nut Ok.
The new concoctions will be available from July 6, to mark the beginning of the UEFA Women’s Euros, which will be hosted in England this summer.
It’s all for a good cause too, with £1 from every pizza sale going towards Football Beyond Borders, a charity that works to support young people who are passionate about football, yet disengaged in school.
“I’m very excited to be working with my local pizza place Yard Sale for a one-of-a-kind, very special charity collaboration to celebrate the Women’s Euros kicking off this July,” Dimoldenberg said. “Of course the special ingredient for my pizza is going to be chicken nuggets. And I’m very happy to say that a portion of every pizza sold goes to support Football Beyond Borders, a cause close to my heart.”
The pizzas will be available to eat at any of Yard Sale’s nine London shops — in Hackney Road, Crofton Park, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Finsbury Park, Clapton, Balham, East Dulwich and Crystal Palace — as well as for takeout and delivery. The limited-edition ‘za will stay on the menu until August 2.
Yard Sale will also be running a sweepstake for the Euros, with the winner awarded free pizza for a year. Tickets will go on sale on June 29 at yardsalepizza.com, with all proceeds donated to Football Beyond Borders.
