Based around Fontina DOP which is a 'rich and creamy, sweet but punchy, buttery yet nutty cheese' found in the Italian Alps, the white base is topped with a melted concoction of this and stringy mozzarella for that Instagram-worthy cheese pull.
Then, if that hasn't already got your mouth watering, you're served a side of potatoes and pickles that you can dip into the fondue with fun metal sticks.
The perfect dish to get you feeling all warmed up this icy cold February, don't you think?
And you better act fast, because the La Fonduta is only a guest special at Pizza Pilgrims this month so you best get a wiggle on if you fancy taking a trip to the Alps on Boar Lane.

Pizza Pilgrims is a recent addition to the Leeds food scene, but they've quickly made a name for themselves when it comes to serving up an impressively good slice.
As the name suggests, their pilgrimage to make the perfect pie started back in 2011 which led them to a signature recipe which features a double fermented dough topped with fresh ingredients and baked at 500 ÌŠC.
The result? A pizza good enough you'll take one bite and think you're dining in a Roman piazza.
Featuring a huge range of flavours from your classic Margherita and Pepperoni to something a little more quirky like the Americana which has hot dogs and chips on it (yes, again we aren't joking), these guys are switching up the pizza game and we are absolutely here for it.
So whatever pizza you fancy, take a trip to Pizza Pilgrims and enjoy.
A list of the UK's best independent coffee shops for 2026 has been released, and one in Leeds has come up trumps.
The coffee shop in question may come as no surprise to some of you, as some would say that after 15 years in the city it's become somewhat of an institution.
Of course it's none other than Laynes.
Founded in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes began life on New Station Street and quickly became one of the first venues in Leeds to focus on carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, helping lead the way for the city's now-thriving independent coffee scene.

It's a proper Leeds staple at this point, sat proudly with its glowing yellow exterior and queues out the door full of punters looking for their morning caffeine fix.
But it's not just us who think it's flipping fantastic, as a new study has revealed the top 10 most popular independent coffee shops in the country and Laynes comes in at a very respectable number 8.
The list, made by Capital on Tap, analysed coffee across the UK looking at Google reviews, monthly searches and social media success.
Laynes was in some pretty good company including Idle Hands in Manchester and Kaf Coffee in Glasgow. But most importantly, none of the top 10 were in London - make of that what you will.

A bakery serving giant NYC-style cookies and fluffy cinnamon buns has just opened in Leeds
Clementine Hall
If you've got a seriously sweet tooth, then you're going to love this new opening.
It seems like there's been a flurry of new bakeries popping up in and around Leeds recently, and we're certainly not complaining.
Introducing Crumbb, a beautiful new bakery that has just opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just moments outside of the city centre.
Owner Naila started the businesses as a wholesaler six years ago, stocking up local businesses from far and wide with sweet treats.

Since then, Crumbbs opened its first location in Bradford just a few months ago that has been nothing short of a resounding success. So much so, that Crumbbs 2.0 was born right here in Leeds a few days ago.
Right, let's talk you through what's on offer.
For the sweet toothed out there, there's a whole myriad of treats for you to enjoy. We're talking giant NYC-style cookies, fluffy cinnamon buns topped with gooey icing, brownies slices, cookie muffins, rocky road, flapjack, the list is truly endless.

You can even get warm cookie trays and hot brownies to enjoy in house that can be topped with ice cream or thick custard.
And it doesn't stop there, Crumbbs also whip up freshly baked savoury focaccia slices as well as cheese twists, pizza slices and savoury rolls filled with creamy mozzarella and herbs.
They've also got a fabulous drink selection on offer including matcha, coffee and hot chocolates.
Located in Headingley, we've got a feeling this spot is going to be a huge hit with students and locals alike looking to get their sweet treat fix. But they'll have to beat us to it first.
