A NATURALLY leavened pizza concept is the latest pop-up food venture for Belfast’s Hill Street Hatch.

Pi Guy (aka Marty Duggan) will showcase his passion for pizza at the Cathedral Quarter premises, serving his own unique take on Neapolitan, New York and Trenton style pizzas for the three remaining weekends in November.

The pizza is made from 100 per cent organic dough that is naturally leavened.

While he has made pizza at home for several years, the pandemic and furlough allowed Marty to focus on developing his recipes, and after a series of successful pop-up nights, he decided that his part-time pizza obsession needed to become a full time business – which has led him to Hill Street Hatch.

Marty picked the ‘Pi’ symbol for his logo due to its mathematical association with circles, a play on the phrase ‘Pizza Pie’, but it is also because Pi, the number, is infinite.

“I like to think of pizza that way. There’s no end to the possibility of what you can do with it.

“That enables me to create pizzas that feel familiar yet are truly unique. That’s the aim for me with Pi Guy.”
