Sloppy Giuseppe is a flavour of pizza found primarily in the United Kingdom. It's popularity was given rise by the Italian restaurant chain Pizza Express. It is most commonly a combination of Green Peppers and Spicy Beef, the spicy Beef is usually ground, although some restaurants and pizzerias tend to use diced Beef. According to News website ThePost.ie, the Sloppy Giuseppe accounted for the average customer to spend an extra 11% in Pizza Express' Irish outlets^[1].

[edit] Variations

Variations of the recipe are slight at best, it is often small pizzerias that differ from the established ground Beef and green Pepper combination, with some pizzerias in England using local cheeses in substitute for the more traditional Mozzarella cheese, the same can be said for Italian pizzerias using local Buffalos to produce the Mozzarella.

[edit] Availability

As well as being widely available in the United Kingdom, Sloppy Giuseppe is part of the menu in many multi-national food chains and so is found throughout the European Union, and the United States. The recipe varies slightly from country to country and as such is easily recognisable.
