Fresh pasta pop-up Pazza arrives in Leeds

Pazza, who specialise in fresh pasta and delicious sauces, will be bringing their unique take on the beloved Italian staple to Leeds from mid-February.

It will be popping up at MOD Pizza in the city centre aiming to tempt foodies with an express lunch break or a leisurely sit-down dinner.

Its ‘make your own’ pasta concept aligns with MOD’s custom pizza offering.

The Pazza menu will consist of seven standout dishes, as well as the build your own concept. Show stoppers include tChicken and Chorizo Alfredo, made with fresh rigatoni, sundried tomatoes, spinach and parmesan, and the Italian staple, Bolognese with beef and red wine, sage, thyme and parmesan.

The vegetarian and vegan offerings are just as tempting, and include favourites such as Al Pesto with spinach, courgettes, feta and fresh scialatelli, and the classic Pomodoro with oregano, garlic and a signature tomato sauce.

Cooked fresh to order, the Pazza range will also include three bite-size pasta dishes for kids. The new menu will be complemented with an authentic, hand-stretched garlic bread.

Pazza is due to open to the public from Friday, February 14, with its treat team handing out branded goodie bags to over 5,000 lucky Leeds city centre commuters on Thursday, February 20, and Friday, February 21.

MOD Pizza general manager, Nic Bohanna, said: “We are super excited to be collaborating with Pazza and welcoming their fresh pasta to our restaurant in Leeds city centre.

“By coming together with the team at Pazza, we are now able to offer not only the best pizza in Leeds, but also the tastiest, freshest pasta, all in a matter of minutes, exactly how you like it.”
