Does anyone really need encouragement to eat pizza? Someone thought we did and so just like that, pizza month was created! Originally started in the 1980’s, pizza month brings people together to celebrate their love of the delicious food and here at Littleover Lodge, we couldn’t be more excited! We believe that pizza is for every occasion! Comforting, warm, filling and just so so good, we just can’t get enough pizza. We love pizza so much that we have our own pizza restaurant in Derbyshire attached to our popular hotel.
