Prezzo has confirmed it is bringing back its 99p Blue Monday deal.
Blue Monday is supposedly the most depressing day of the year, due to the cold weather, post-Christmas debt and failed New Year resolutions.
The day itself is always on the third Monday in January (so this year, January 19) and while it is technically a marketing concept, it does mean you can get some super cheap food.
To qualify for the Blue Monday menu, you have to get a discount code from the Prezzo app. You also must pre-book a table, and purchase a drink from the menu, not including tea or coffee.
The offer is available only on January 19, for a maximum of 12 people per bill. It cannot be used in conjunction with any other Prezzo deals.
The menu items that are available for 99p each are: Arrabbiata, Spaghetti Bolognese, Spaghetti Carbonara, Pepperoni Pizza, The Veggie One Pizza, Margherita Pizza and Plant-based Spaghetti Bolognese.
The following dishes cost £2.99 each: Double Pepperoni Pizza, Marry Me Chicken Pasta and Ham and Mushroom Pizza.
The following items cost £5 each: The Prezzo Burger, The Spicy One Pizza, Very Meaty Calzone, Meat Lovers Pizza, Spaghetti With King Prawns and Tuscan Bbq Chicken Pizza. Prezzo has 96 restaurants across the UK.
In an Instagram post, Prezzo said: “BLUE MONDAY IS BACK and no, this is not a drill. On 19th January only, enjoy selected pasta and pizza at Prezzo Italian for just 99p.
“Because the ‘worst day of the year’ deserves seriously good food (for 99p). Tables will go fast. Don’t miss out, book now via the link in bio.”
It comes as Jamie Oliver is set to relaunch his Jamie’s Italian restaurant chain in the UK, six years after the brand’s dramatic collapse.
The TV chef will bring the brand back with a restaurant in London’s Leicester Square next spring, as part of a partnership with the restaurant group behind Prezzo.
Jamie’s Italian was first launched with his Italian mentor, chef Gennaro Contaldo, in Oxford in 2008, before expanding to around 40 sites.
It tumbled into administration in 2019, leading to the closure of its remaining UK sites and hundreds of job losses. The brand continued to operate overseas and has more than 30 restaurants in 25 countries.
