Gourmet chocolate pizza


Willy Wonka eat your Oompa Loompa out

We were sent this fine chocolate pizza the other day, and feeling hungry, we popped it straight in the oven. A few days later and the replacement has arrived, looking every bit as delicious as the name suggests. But before you all go rushing to buy one in time for Easter, ask yourself how did it fare in the TG chocolate pizza taste test? Let’s see…

First impressions are good, although it looks about as much like a chocolate pizza as a frisbee looks like a plastic one. This is a silly detail to pick on of course - chocolate log doesn’t look much like a log - but it’s probably best to point out early on that it is really just a large disc of chocolate, cut into slices, with chocolate shavings and stuff on top. Apparently ours is an Easter special and the regular one looks much more lifelike, but don’t expect an actual pizza with sweet toppings.

In terms of taste, we can’t complain; lovely creamy milk chocolate base, with shavings cascading all over the place, and a pair of white chocolate easter bunnies to fight over at the end. Having eaten a slice, we can appreciate the decision to scale down from average pizza depth - it’s a lot of chocolate as it is. And it comes in a takeaway-style brown cardboard box, making it a great gift for any chocolate-based religious occasion, but go for one of the regular varieties for maximum it looks like a real pizza effect.
