薄餅 (pizza) 大 (big) 過 (than) 天 (heaven)

 After a slightly challenging and drawn out conversation with our Cantonese father, our heads slightly bowed in shame since we can’t speak the language, we arrived on this literal translation of the phrase. Cantonese is littered with idioms and expressions that can’t really be translated, but to spare you a gruelling thirty minute phone call with our Dad, it essentially means Pizza: the best thing since sliced bread - although know it reads far more poetically than that. 

 This artwork commemorates our Chow Bella Pizza Special that was served across ten Nole Pizza sites across the South West of England. Nole, the owners dog, who either named the pizza shop or was named after the pizza shop (who knows) sits beside a Chinese Emperor, chowing down on our Ginger Pork and Water Chestnut slice. It’s… perfect. 

Designed by the talented artist and designer, and fortunately our friend, Alice McNeil.

Brandish this artwork on our unisex, 100% cotton heavyweight feel, loose fitted, boxy tee in a clean white or a butter yellow, and get accustomed to seeing beaming eyes and wide smiles while hearing “where did you get that?”
