Kick-off for the nation’s teams in England and Scotland is finally in sight – and if there’s one thing football fans take as seriously as the game itself, it’s match-day scran. But when every minute is full of nail-biting potential, no one wants to abandon their seat for the kitchen.
Enter Pizza Crouch.
Created by Deliveroo, Pizza Crouch is a towering 6 ft 7 in pizza, matching the exact height of one of football’s tallest players, Peter Crouch. Whilst some sporting legends are immortalised in bronze, Crouchy’s commemoration comes in the form of his favourite takeaway order: a pizza. Made in partnership with the man himself, and wife Abbey Clancy, Pizza Crouch is three-quarters margherita, the robot dancer’s go-to pizza order, and one-quarter Hawaiian, a cheeky nod to Abbey’s favourite slice.
With each pizza containing 30 servings, there’s enough to feed every starting XI and then some, from kick-off to the final whistle. Watch parties in London and Edinburgh can keep their eyes glued to the game, whilst Pizza Crouch makes its way through the city in a made-to-measure 6 ft 7 in pizza box, and custom Deliveroo teal delivery bag, keeping it piping hot en route to each customer.
Football legend, Peter Crouch, says: “I’ve had a lot of memorable moments in my career, but becoming a 6 ft 7 in pizza is definitely up there. It’s ideal because watching football with your mates is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and the worst part is missing a goal because you’re getting another pizza out of the oven. Deliveroo’s Pizza Crouch solves that problem in the best way – it’s an honour to be entering people’s living rooms in pizza form, keeping watch parties fuelled during the football this summer.”
A spokesperson for Deliveroo adds: “No one wants to step away from the action when it comes to summer’s biggest football tournament. Fans need something to keep them fueled for the full 90-minute emotional rollercoaster, which is why Deliveroo is going big – as big as Peter Crouch – to deliver Pizza Crouch straight to doorsteps. The Pizza Crouch is all about bringing friends together for those unforgettable match day moments, making them truly unmissable with enough slices to feed the full squad. It’s here to make your summer of football even better.”
The Pizza Crouch limited-edition offering is available exclusively to Deliveroo Plus customers, and comes as data from Deliveroo shows pizza is one of the most popular football-watching foods* – alongside burgers, chicken, and curry.
