Peter Pizzeria<\/a> Leicester<\/p>\n

It’s not often that we have blogger events going on in the East Midlands, or Leicester at all really, so when Annie<\/a> emailed me with an invite to a blogger party she was arranging right here in the city centre, I knew I couldn’t miss it. I was most excited to finally meet some local bloggers, I spend so much time down in London for events & have made wonderful friends from all over the country thanks to blogging, but I’ve always thought it was a shame I didn’t really know any bloggers a bit closer to home, I knew there must be some around here somewhere!<\/p>\n

I headed down to Peter Pizzeria<\/a>‘s newly opened Leicester branch with high expectations after talking to a few of the girls on Twitter & hearing how great their original Loughborough restaurant is, and I was not disappointed! I loved the quirky decor & layout as soon as I walked in, everywhere I looked I wanted to take a photo! I also had a little squeal when on my way up to our table I saw the big games room filled with ping-pong tables, table football, comfy sofas & classic board games. The whole place has such a relaxed & cosy vibe, it’s not just somewhere to eat, it’s somewhere to hang out too.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really know anyone who was going & I’m quite a shy person, so this always makes me a little nervous but everyone was lovely, as I knew they would be! We quickly realised we had plenty in common to talk about & we all agreed how nice it was to finally meet other bloggers from this area too. Annie had invited a handful of Leicestershire companies also, and had given us a bit of a seating plan with reps from each company sat between groups of bloggers so we could all get to know each other. It was a great idea, as I know personally I’m quite bad at approaching people to start conversations, so this got us all talking quite naturally & I’m sure everyone made some new friends. <\/p>\n

As we all sat down boards full of antipasti came out, plus homemade lemonade & melanade (apple, ginger & mint – delicious!) for drinks. I could only eat the bruschetta & salad, being vegetarian, but everyone else assured me the meats were amazing too & I was a little jealous! We all soon got stuck in & started chatting away as we shared the boards around. I love pizza, all types of pizza, so after being told they strive to make theirs as authentic as possible, with ingredients sourced from Italy & cooked in a traditional wood oven, I was excited to try them out. They were even better than I imagined, their sourdough bases are seriously to die for, and the toppings are a great mixture of classic & gourmet – the tomato, parmesan & sliced black truffle one went down very well. The highlight for me though was the Nutella pizza we had for dessert, I’ve never has a dessert pizza before & I was a little unsure at first, but it was amazing! Gooey & warm, topped with a dusting of sugar & crushed hazelnuts, I’m craving it again now just thinking about it! All the prices were super reasonable too, ranging from \u00a36-11 for a good sized medium pizza.<\/p>\n

Huge thanks to Peter<\/a> for having us, and to Annie<\/a> for organising, I really hope this is something we can make a regular thing as it was such a nice evening & a real success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
