Fridays just got a whole lot tastier. 

Yolk Farm in Minskip is firing up the ovens and launching Pizza Fridays from Friday, 4th April, running every Friday from 5 to 9pm. Whether you fancy dining in or grabbing a takeaway, one thing’s for sure—you’re in for an absolute treat.

I had the pleasure of joining their pre-launch event, and let me tell you, this is no ordinary pizza night. Yolk Farm has gone all in—importing an authentic Italian pizza oven, working with experts, and testing their dough recipes over 20 times before landing on the ultimate sourdough base.

The result? A dough that’s the perfect balance of crunchy, chewy, and soft, with a texture that makes each bite pure joy. Some unusual and dreamy toppings made it difficult to rank them, one thing is for sure, you won’t be disappointed. Watching the chef spin and stretch the dough was a pleasurable experience.

Here’s what’s you can expect from Pizza night at Yolk.

The Line-Up of Pizzas

Fire Starter – A spicy dream with pepperoni and their in-house hot honey drizzle. The honey adds just the right touch of sweetness to balance out the heat.

The Goat Father – A bold, indulgent choice with goat’s cheese, garlic & herb mushrooms, spinach, and red onion. Creamy, earthy, and full of flavour.

The Margherita – Sometimes, simple is best. This classic has mozzarella, oregano, and their signature tomato sauce, letting the quality of ingredients shine.

‘Ey Up Sausage – A meaty masterpiece featuring Lishman’s Nduja, chorizo, Harrogate Blue cheese, and sweet pickled onions. The onions cut through the richness of the blue cheese beautifully.

Garden Feast – My personal favourite (which shocked me as a meat lover). Courgette, broccoli, roasted artichoke, and pumpkin seeds drizzled with salsa verde. The crunch from the pumpkin seeds was a stroke of genius, and the grilled vegetables kept the base crisp with no unwanted sogginess.

Summat on’t Side

It wouldn’t be a proper Yorkshire feast without something on the side! You can pair your pizza with: Rosemary salt fries, parmesan & truffle fries, delicious coleslaw (I tried this—trust me, it’s fantastic), rocket & parmesan salad, a selection of dips including garlic & herb mayo and Butter Buffalo Hot Sauce.

The only thing missing for me? Crispy chicken wings and sticky wings. That Buffalo sauce is crying out for a ‘wing man’—hopefully, they’ll add them soon.

Summat at t’End

Because no great meal is complete without dessert, I had to check out what was available and you can have your pick of classic, creamy, and dreamy Tiramisu, a perfect balance of tart and sweet Yorkshire Lemon Curd Cheesecake and a proper scoop of local deliciousness in Ryeburn Ice Cream Pots.

Drinks & More

With great food comes along the expectation of pair-able drinks; you can wash it all down with a great selection of local ales, wines, cider, and hot or cold soft drinks.

And of course, because this is Yolk Farm, you’ll also have the chance to stock up on the freshest eggs (literally laid that day) and browse their farm shop, packed with artisan goodies and fresh produces. I left with fresh eggs, rhubarb, beetroot, celeriac, cauliflower, and romanesco broccoli - that’s my idea of a successful trip.

Yolk Farm is already a much-loved spot for families, food lovers, and anyone who enjoys a great outdoor experience. Now, with Pizza Fridays, there’s one more reason to visit.

So, gather your friends, bring the family, and get ready to end the week on a delicious high.
