In 2005 Gordon Ramsay made history with a £100 truffle based pizza, which he sold out of Gordon Ramsay’s Maze in London’s Grosvenor Square. It was a thin pizza base topped with onion puree, truffle paste, fontina cheese, baby mozzarella, pancetta and cep mushrooms and sprinkled with shavings of fresh Italian white truffle.

Then last week on Twitter Gordon Ramsay announced that pizzas were going on the menu in Hell’s Kitchen, which he is currently shooting in Los Angeles.

Now, in a recent report from Britain’s Telegraph newspaper, “They are planning to add seating to Nonna’s delicatessen at the York & Albany, which has a wood-fired oven,” says his spokesman.

“The gourmet pizzas are proving extremly popular. This is definitely not a relaunch of the restaurant, which is doing well.”
