A new burger restaurant has opened inside Leeds Trinity selling everything from classic arancini to fusion burgers filled with ice cream, calzone and pizza.
Yes, a calzone in a burger is now officially on the menu in Leeds thanks to this brand new arrival.
Called Burgamore, its fusion burger menu combines some of Italy's most drool-worthy flavours with a range of different patties and buns to create something truly unique.

Classic Italian street food favourites include their 'pavarotti'; a mini nduja calzone served with homemade tomato and oregano sauce, the 'caponata'; a classic, tangy and sweet Sicilian dish of aubergine, carrots, celery, white onion, tomatoes, olives, raisins, pinenuts and red wine vinegar.
But there are also some weird and wonderful fusion burger creations to be uncovered here, including a calzone burger and an 'ice cream' burger, the latter comprised of brioche bun topped with gelato of your choice and garnished with chocolate callets and sauce, toasted walnuts and sprinkles.

On top of this, you'll find 'spicy pizza fries' loaded with pomodoro sauce, three cheeses, crispy bacon, jalapenos, red wine mayo and mint lemon sauce, and a folded flatbread 'pizza burger' topped with a patty of your choice, lemon ricotta, baby gem, radicchio, pickled red onion and shaving cheese.
For hardcore burger fans, there's a more than.decent selection of adventurous flavour combinations: ranging from a vegan Moving Mountains chilli burger to the signature Burgamore burger, made with crispy pancetta, honey apple compote, grilled stem brocolli and red wine mayonaisse.
And what's more, a fair bit of the menu is also vegan - meaning there really is something for everyone here.

A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
Beloved late night Leeds cocktail bar The Maven announces permanent closure
Clementine Hall
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
