Sugo Pizza has won the Deliveroo Pizza Contest 2019. 16 restaurants throughout the Netherlands went head to head to win this title. Hundreds of consumers voted for the most beautiful, most creative and tastiest pizza via Instagram.
In the end, the Truffle Ricotta & Italian Ham pizza was the absolute favourite. This square (typical of Sugo) pizza, specially designed for the Pizza Contest, was topped with truffle, ricotta, Italian ham, walnuts, honey and arugula.
According to Deliveroo, Sugo has created a true explosion of flavours that not only looks beautiful but is also extremely tasty. The five Sugo locations (two of which are in Rotterdam) are allowed to bear the title 'Winner Pizza Contest 2019' for one year.
About Sugo Pizza
Hugo is proud to have won the Deliveroo Pizza Contest 2019: "Especially for this Pizza Contest, we have devised a pizza that optimally expresses different flavours, a real taste bomb. Also, looks matter, it has to look beautiful and tasty. We are proud to win this prize and hope that the Truffle, Ricotta & Italian Ham pizza will appeal to all our customers! ”
Sugo Pizza is known for its healthy square (instead of round) pizzas from Rome: the pizza al taglio. These pizzas are difficult to make and take a lot of time. Just making the dough, which consists only of flour (soy, whole grain and spelt), water, a little salt and a little yeast, takes no less than 3 days. Sugo's pizza dough is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it a lot healthier than the average pizza. The pizzas are topped with meats and cheeses from family farms in Italy.
