This spring, an up-and-coming Italian restaurant is set to open in St Paul’s Square.
Forbici – meaning “scissors” in Italian – is committed to the traditional Neapolitan way of cutting pizza, serving all pizzas quartered, with large scissors.
Since opening its first location in Manchester last year, Forbici has received praise from none other than Marco Pierre White, who declared it “the very best pizza I’ve ever had in my life”.
Customers can expect an authentic Italian experience, with handmade dough made using flour from Molini Pizzuti, San Marzano tomatoes from Solania, and Fior di Latte mozzarella from Vico Equense.
No need to worry, though – although this is their second location, the chief executive of Individual Restaurants has promised a vibe tailored to Sheffield.
He said: “This will be something completely unique to the city, created with the same respect for Neapolitan tradition that defines the Forbici experience. The Sheffield opening will continue that philosophy, combining Neapolitan craft with scientific fermentation and precision to deliver the new era of pizza. Rather than replicating Manchester, the restaurant will be designed specifically for Sheffield and its food scene.”
