Manchester takeaway favourite Burgerism have just opened in Leeds, and we are absolutely thrilled about it.
There really is nothing better than a properly good, tasty, juicy, delicious burger. And let us tell you, Burgerism know all about this and more.
The takeaway favourites have made a huge name for themselves in Manchester and it’s easy to see why.
Having opened in 2018, they have been quietly setting the standard for dark kitchens way before the pandemic made them so popular.

Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. And luckily for us we now don't have to cross the Pennines to get our Burgerism fix, as of this week we can chow down on their delicious grub at just the touch of a button via Deliveroo Editions.
And we promise you that we aren't just being super dramatic, because the burgers really are THAT good.

The 'Cheesed' features two smashed patties that are succulent and juicy with that oh so delicious caramelised crispy edge. Topped with cheese, pickles, onion and their special Burgerism sauce, all nestled inside a pillowy sesame bun that they toast in butter (yum).
The menu also features the 'Baconed' which sees the welcome addition of crisp turkey bacon stacked amongst the patties, and the 'Veggied' which, you guessed it, uses vegetarian non-meat patties.
Not to mention the skin-on fries which are perfectly crisp and sprinkled generously with a spicy, savoury seasoning which we now need to own a jar of.

Serving everyday from 12pm, the smash burger masters are ready and waiting to make your burger dreams come true. Find them on Deliveroo here.
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
