Share a large wood-fired pizza and either two glasses of wine or two beers for R50 at Lombardy (save 57%)

It’s been said that sharing is good for the soul. However in the case of today’s deal, it’s also good for the stomach. Share a large pizza and either two glasses of house wine or two local beers with a friend (no pets, rocks or imaginary friends) for R50 at Lombardy. The great thing about sharing with a friend is that it also makes it seem less obvious to the rest of the room that you ate way more than half a pizza.

You can tell a lot about a person by the type of pizza they choose. Lombardy’s menu of quality wood-fired pizzas has something perfectly suited to every taste and type – from a classic Margherita for the girl who never wears more than two colours at a time, to a calzone for the non-conformist (heck, why should you have a pizza like everyone else when you can have a folded pizza?)

The slightly more outgoing might get a kick out of adding ham and mushroom to make a Margherita a Regina, while those in the mood for going all out might choose the California with mozzarella, feta and gorgonzola sprinkled over bacon, peppadew, olives, mushroom and chorizo. Not to even mention Petto di Pollo, Quattro Stagioni and Fruiti di Mare, which sounds pretty fancy when trying to impress the special someone on the opposite side of the table.

Draped in old world elegance and charm, Lombardy Restaurant is the perfect combination of comfort, taste and intimacy. Dine in the glow of a proper South African wood fire while being served with a smile as warm as the flames. Whether you choose to share your pizza with a loved one, your ma, your neighbour or your boss, you can be sure it’ll be a special occasion as long as you make sure the person sharing has as great a taste as you. Of course it’s always easy to tell who isn’t sharing their Groupon with a date by the rich garlic aromas drifting off the slice of lip smacking Focaccia in their hand.

Pizza fact: In Hawaii the Hawaiian pizza is very different from the one known in the Western world. The base is entirely made of crushed pizza mixed with chunks of Gouda and topped with bits of mushy pizza dough and ham. Then the pizza is put in a food processor and made into a smoothie. This smoothie is then served with a Honolulu pizza, which is a pizza topped with bits of pineapple, ham and mozzarella.
