Manchester pizza favourite Forbici, is now inviting diners to take part in a playful twist that could see their bill cut in half.<\/p>\n

Every day between 3-5pm, diners at Forbici will be invited to take part in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with a member of the team at the end of their meal. When the bill arrives, so does a golden invitation to play. One round is all it takes. Win, and you\u2019ll receive 50% off your bill, cutting it in half using the scissors already on your table. Lose, and you simply pay as normal.<\/p>\n

The new activation builds on Forbici\u2019s much-loved bill-cutting tradition, which previously saw diners attempt to snip their receipt perfectly in half for a discount. This January, the restaurant is raising the stakes by introducing a fresh, interactive twist, adding an element of chance, competition and theatre to the experience.<\/p>\n

Giving the highest praise on the venue following his visit earlier this year, Marco said: \u201cI\u2019ve eaten pizzas all over the world. I\u2019ve had them in Britain, Naples, Rome, New York, San Francisco and LA, and they\u2019re very good, trust me. But let me tell you something, the very best pizza I\u2019ve had in my life is in this restaurant in Manchester. It\u2019s deliciously good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sasso, Carta, Forbici, translating to Rock, Paper, Scissors in Italian, is a cheeky nod to one of the restaurant\u2019s most talked-about details. Forbici, which means scissors in Italian, is known for serving its authentic Neapolitan pizzas in quarters, ready to be snipped at the table with pizza scissors. It\u2019s a small ritual that\u2019s become part of the experience, and this January, those scissors could be saving you money.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t fancy leaving your fate in the hands of a waiter, Forbici is also taking the game to the streets with a Manchester pop-up designed to stop passers-by in their tracks. Appearing at St Ann\u2019s Square on Thursday 15th January, the pop-up features a billboard and a single mysterious hand emerging to play a round ofSasso, Carta, Forbici. Win the game, and you\u2019ll walk away with a 50% off voucher to use in the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Alongside the game, Forbici is also rolling out a trio of seasonal specials. New to the menu is the Marinara Tre Pomodori, a fresh and flavour-packed vegan pizza topped with yellow organic, San Marzano and semi-dried tomatoes, garlic and basil. Fan favourite Scarole also returns, with the Neapolitan folded pizza filled with smoked provola, endive, nuts, olives, sultanas, anchovies and parmesan on Forbici\u2019s signature biga base. There\u2019s also a new addition to the drinks menu: Hop Water by Track Brewery, a refreshing alcohol-free mix of sparkling water and hops.<\/p>\n

Forbici\u2019s pizzas are built on precision and science, as well as a next-generation take on Neapolitan dough. Three generations in the making, the dough is crafted by master bakers using a unique biga base and a signature fermentation process, resulting in a high-rise, light and airy pizza that sets Forbici apart in Manchester\u2019s food scene. The perfect meal for January bellies and budgets.<\/p>\n

Part game, part giveaway and part love letter to Italian dining culture, Sasso, Carta, Forbici is Forbici\u2019s way of making January a little less dull, and a lot more delicious.<\/p>\n

The in-restaurant game runs throughout January, with the pop-up landing in St Ann\u2019s Square on Thursday 15th January. Any vouchers won can be redeemed when dining in at Forbici\u2019s Manchester restaurant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester pizza favourite Forbici, is now inviting diners to take part in a playful twist that could see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-690990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115882002111363143","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/690991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
