And it just keeps getting better. Get in the mood for everyone’s cheesiest song contest with FREE pizza at Flat Iron Square.
And just like Saturday’s Eurovision, it doesn’t get any cheesier than this. Pie specialists Baz and Fred give you the Quarantuno Formaggi. The monster meal is topped with 41 cheeses, one sourced from each participating country including Swiss Emmental, Cypriot Halloumi and British Wensleydale.
Staff will be serving up 50 FREEBIES to people who turn up in person at lunchtime at their Flat Iron Square base (first come, first served as always) and a further 50 online on Deliveroo as well. Enjoy!

Visitors to Greenwich can peruse street food and booze options at the one day festival. Watch out for music from superstar DJ Gilles Peterson plus a talk from BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms.
Other highlights include a fermentation workshop, a pop-up printing press, a chance to have a go at urban worm farming (no, we’re not sure either) plus have a go at making your own flag. Something for everyone really. And it’s all FREE!
