World Cup kick-off for the nation’s teams in England and Scotland is finally within reach – and if there’s one thing football supporters take as seriously as the beautiful game itself, it’s matchday grub. But when every moment brims with edge-of-your-seat drama, nobody fancies deserting their spot for the kitchen.
Step forward Pizza Crouch. Crafted by Deliveroo, Pizza Crouch stands as a towering 6 ft 7 in pizza, perfectly mirroring the exact stature of one of football’s lankiest stars, Peter Crouch.
While certain sporting icons are preserved in bronze, Crouchy’s tribute arrives as his beloved takeaway choice: a pizza. Developed alongside the man himself and spouse Abbey Clancy, Pizza Crouch features three-quarters margherita – the robot dancer’s preferred pizza selection – and one-quarter Hawaiian, a playful tribute to Abbey’s top slice.
Boasting 30 portions per pizza, there’s plenty to satisfy every starting XI and beyond, from opening whistle to final blast. Viewing gatherings across London and Edinburgh can maintain their focus on the action, while Pizza Crouch travels through the city in a bespoke 6 ft 7 in pizza container, plus custom Deliveroo teal carrier bag, ensuring it stays steaming hot during delivery to each punter.
Football icon, Peter Crouch, has said: “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 representative for Deliveroo chimed in: “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 reveals pizza is one of the most popular football-watching foods* – alongside burgers, chicken, and curry.
Pizza Crouch is anticipated to be amongst the most sought-after offerings of the tournament – however delivery slots are restricted.
