If you’ve spent more than, ohhhh, two minutes in London, you’ve likely heard of both Yard Sale and Bleecker Burger. One is a much-loved pizza chain famous for its huge pies, generous and intriguing toppings, and countless collaborations. The other is an award-winning burger-slinger that is at the top of every Londoner’s ‘best burgers’ list. Well, now the two legendary London institutions are matching up their respective strengths with a wacky burger pizza collaboration.
It makes sense. We all like pizzas and we all like burgers – so why not smash them together into one gloriously over-the-top creation? And since the pizza’s release coincides with Yard Sale’s ten-year anniversary, why not go the whole hog with a collaboration for the history books?
The burger pizza
The resulting collab pizza tops Yard Sale’s 72-hour fermented dough with Bleecker beef patty (or Symplicity for the veggie options), Bleecker’s signature seasoning and house sauce, and white onion, all atop tomato sauce and fior di latte mozzarella. They’ve dubbed it ‘The Bleecker Birthday Pizza’, and it will be available across all Yard Sale locations from May 8. But be quick – as with all of their collabs, it’s only around for a limited time.
Yard Sale will donate £1 to The Outside Project for every pizza sold. The Outside Project is an LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter, Centre, and Domestic Abuse Refuge that provides support and help to “those within the LGBTIQ+ community who feel endangered, who are homeless, ‘hidden’ homeless and feel that they are on the outside of services due to historical and present prejudice in society and in their homes”.
Previous Yard Sale pizza collabs have seen the pizzeria teaming up with the likes of Amelia Dimz, Loyle Carner, Real Housewives of Clapton, and Taste Cadets. They’ve also joined forces with comedians (James Acaster and Ed Gamble), New York pizza royalty (Frank Pinello), and all manner of chefs and food institutions (Ixta Belfrage, Mangal II, Matty Matheson), among many others. Will their Bleecker pizza join their pizza collab hall of fame? Try it yourself and find out!
The ‘Bleecker Birthday Pizza’ will be available from May 8 for delivery, collection, and dine-in across all Yard Sale shops for five weeks only.
