X-factor
supremo Simon Cowell & his fellow judges have been immortalised
in pizza dough to mark the hit ITV show's recent final.
Rossopomodoro,
Italy's leading Neopolitan pizza chain which now has 3 restaurants
in London, has created 4 delicious pizzas because managing director
Simone Falco is a huge fan of the show.
Simone
says, "I'm originally from Naples and we have our own
version of the show in Italy but in this case, Britain's is best. I
absolutely love the X-factor, so my tribute to the programme was to
task the team at Rossopomodoro to make the pizzas - I think the
resemblance to the judges is uncanny!"
Since
the finalists were announced Simone has been selling pizzas named
after the three X-Factor finalists, and keeping a tally of who is the
public's favourite choice.
Each
pizza, which contains only authentic Neapolitan ingredients, even
down to the water, has been chosen to best represent each contestant:
*
Eoghan Quigg - Corbarella
Mozzarella,
mushrooms, ham, cream and fresh basil
A
green, white and gold pizza of stunning simplicity
*
Alexandra Burke - Massese
Tomato,
mozzarella, spicy salami and fresh basil
The
spiciest pizza on the menu, full of guts and fire
*
JLS - Teanese
Four
traditional Neapolitan cheeses; provola, caciocavallo, mozzarella
and Bagnoli Pecorino
A
quartet that is beautifully cheesy - real soul food
"I
know for a fact who's won, but I won't say anything. It'll spoil the surprise,"
said Simone before the final, who's also put £100 on the winner.
