There's not many deals in Leeds that can beat free pizza. Picture the scene, it's a Friday night and you're starving: you're in a bar on Call Lane and nobody else wants to grab some food.
Now, as long as you're in Cuckoo there's no reason for you to have to leave the bar, to even pull out your bank card because all pizza here is free, as long as you buy a drink.
What's more, the flavours are truly out of this world, there's no room for classics- these pizzas are truly unique. The Love or Hate pizza is just one example. Naturally, you're either going to think this is the world's greatest pizza or take one bite and nothing more. It's a marmite base topped with sun-dried tomatoes and cheese.
Or how about baked beans on pizza, if that wasn't controversial enough? The Brunch at Cuckoo baked beans base with bacon, mushrooms and topped with either red or brown sauce.
You could also try the Nacho Lucky Day, a nacho topped pizza with guac and tomatoes; or the Bah Tat with ham, caramelised onion and pork scratchings.
Or if you do just want something you can find at some other pizzerias (though these are still pretty original), opt for a Spicy Bird, a chicken and caramelised onion pizza with sweet chilli sauce, the Veg-a-lot with halloumi, courgette, sun-dried tomatoes and butternut squash or the Alright Jack, a pulled BBQ jackfruit base with vegan cheese, topped with gherkins and mustard.
There's also a range of dessert pizzas for those with a sweet tooth. Think Wonka Calzones with Nutella, marshmallows, fudge sauce and cinnamon sugar and PB&J pizzas with peanut butter and jelly spread across.
Available every single day before 9pm (though bare in mind the bar only opens at 5pm at present), this is the post-work treat or midnight feast you never knew you needed but won't want to live without.

Domo has confirmed it will officially open the doors to its first Leeds venue on Friday June 5, so we really don't have long to wait.
Located at the iconic Tower Works development, Domo Leeds will offer a vibrant new canal-side destination, perfect for the summer months.
Alongside the main restaurant menu, there’ll be a dedicated bar food menu designed around relaxed dining and carefully crafted small plates designed to pair with the drinks offering creating a more informal way for guests to experience Sardinian flavours.
Domo co-founder, Sarah Elliott-Busceddu, said: “We’re incredibly excited to finally open the doors and welcome people into Domo Leeds. From day one, our vision has been to create a space where everyone feels welcome and somewhere that brings people together in the true spirit of Sardinian hospitality.
“Whether it’s an evening out with friends, a relaxed catch-up over drinks after work, or a big family celebration, we’ve designed Domo to feel warm, inclusive and full of life. We can’t wait for people in Leeds to experience not just the food and drinks, but the atmosphere and sense of community that sits at the heart of everything we do.”
The Sheffield institution serving the city’s favourite sandwich for over 60 years
Clementine Hall
Of course, it's the one and only Béres.
It all started back in 1961 when Hungarian butcher Sandor Béres left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist government.
After the government took control of his father's butchers shops, Sandor set out to establish the chain once more and so, Béres was born.
And thank god it was, as for over 60 years now their iconic pork sandwich has been fuelling the hungry people of Sheffield, and we'd go as far to say it's one of the best sarnies in the city.

Hot roast pork, herby stuffing, crispy crackling and fruity apple sauce all crammed into a soft bap - it really doesn’t get much better than that.
But, what makes it so special? Béres claims it's all in the preparation and quality control.
Being a traditional butchers, their pork joints are traditionally roasted and cured in house to give that succulent texture and crispy crackling every single time.
They use around seven tonnes of pork and four tonnes of flour per week to feed us hungry lot, and it's no surprise when you see the queues forming outside your local Béres every lunch time.

The very first shop was born at Wadsley Bridge where they quickly built a reputation for their sandwiches, this then allowed them to become a proper Sheffield household name after expanding rapidly through the 2000s.
They now have 14 sites across Sheffield, and each site is as good as the next. Not only are the pork sandwiches class but if you're ever faced with a hangover no matter how severe, their stacked breakfast baps are always there to save the day.
But why we love Béres most of all is the lovely staff who are always there to offer a smile and a chinwag, but what else do you expect from the people of Sheffield hey?
