The Eurovision Song Contest. It’s arguably the cheesiest night in the calendar year, right? And it’s also the night to don your most flamboyant outfit and throw a fabulous party with a live screening of the event – because let’s face it, this is truly unmissable TV…

This year we’ve decided to help you make your Eurovision party even better by creating the ultimate catering addition: the Quarantuno Formaggi pizza. Or in English, a 41-cheese pizza.
