Zizzi Worcester celebrates new transformation with free pizza for the first 30 customers for a week

Following an extensive refurbishment, Zizzi Worcester will reopen its doors on 6 October, unveiling a fresh new look inspired by both the restaurant’s Tuscan roots and Worcester’s rich local heritage.

To mark the occasion, the first 30 customers through the doors each day from 7–15 October, excluding Friday and Saturday, will receive a free pizza. With 30 pizzas available each day across seven days, a total of 210 free pizzas will be given away.

Customers who miss out on the pizza giveaway can still join the celebrations, with a free garlic bombe available with the purchase of a drink for the rest of the day. Located in the heart of Worcester city centre, the newly transformed restaurant combines a modern Tuscan feel with elements inspired by the city’s history.

Artwork by Brianna Chartrand brings the spirit of Tuscany into the Grade II-listed building, while features inspired by Worcester Cathedral and a piano room celebrating the legacy of local composer Edward Elgar add a distinctly local touch. The refurbished restaurant now seats 126 guests indoors, with space for a further 55 guests outdoors during the summer months.

The new interior combines a warm, modern-rustic style with an open kitchen and pizza oven, giving diners the opportunity to watch the kitchen team at work while enjoying the aromas of freshly baked pizza. As well as the new look, guests can enjoy Zizzi’s new Autumn Winter menu, with a series of seasonal specials, including the indulgent starter, Sticky Pig Fonduta, which offers a new way for fans of the Sticky Pig Rustica pizza to enjoy the flavours, a heart-warming main, Chicken Cacciatore and a melt in the mouth side, Five Cheese Gnocchi.

And for those with a sweet tooth, a Salted Caramel Bread and Butter Pudding and Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Zizzi Worcester’s General Manager, Becky, said: “With a new season starting, and a fresh new look for our site, we’re really looking forward to celebrating together over the week with the free pizza’s and garlic bombe’s on offer.

“It’s the perfect excuse to come in and visit and see what we’ve done with the place!” It all started with a pizza oven, a splash of wine, and a little neighbourhood restaurant.

26 years later, there are 133 of them. Which sounds like a lot now we’ve written it down. Bowlfuls of pasta, pizzas with light, crispy bases, generous portions and big flavours. The kind of dishes that turn heads when they hit the table.

And dessert? Always. Life’s too short to skip the sweet stuff. Come hungry, leave happy. It’s simple.
