AO.com is launching an unconventional ‘Bear’s Pizza’ van, serving pizza slices inspired by famous bears

AO.com is serving up free pizza by the slice at Spinningfields Square this Sunday (31 August) to those who bring along their teddy bear. 

‘Bear’s Pizza’, launched to celebrate and spread the joy of AO’s iconic green bear, has been developed by talented professional chefs, with each slice handmade to order and cooked in a pizza oven on site. The pizza van will be open from 11am until samples last. 

Paying homage to famous bears (both real and fictional), menu options are as follows: 

  • THE MARMALADE SANDWICH SLICE
    Traditional handmade pizza dough base smothered in tangy-sweet marmalade and topped with a slice of fluffy white bread
  • THE THREE BEARS PORRIDGE SLICE
    Creamed oats cooked in milk, dolloped on a base of blueberry compote and topped with a drizzle of honey
  • THE HUNNY POT SLICE
    A condensed milk base baked to sweet caramelisation topped with lashings of honey
  • THE BEAR’S NECESSITIES SLICE
    Sweet, smooth papaya base topped with bananas and toasted coconut flakes, finished with a sprinkling of edible ants 
  • THE YO! GI-MME A SLICE
    Featuring the best pickings from any picnic: a beetroot hummus base, scotch egg slices, vegetable crisps, olives and cherry tomatoes
  • THE OG’S RIVERSIDE SNACK SLICE
    An homage to the Original Grizzly: classic margarita pizza base, topped with a simply prepared salmon fillet and leafy garnish

The ovens firing Bear’s Pizza are all stocked on AO.com, so customers can recreate the recipes (or more traditional choices) at home - don’t forget to enter AO.com’s competition to win your very own pizza oven.
