Restaurant takes on Salt Bae’s £630 golden steaks with 23-carat PIZZA – and it costs a fraction of the price

A RESTAURANT has taken on Salt bae’s £630 golden steaks with a 23-carat PIZZA – and it costs a fraction of the price.

Nonna Said pizzeria in Merchant City, Glasgow, has launched the limited edition gold pizza, and customers can feast on it for just under a tenner.

Poking fun at celebrity chef Salt Bae’s Giant Tomahawk Steak, the pizza specialists are offering their gold-flaked special at just £6.30.

Salt Bae’s edible gold-covered steal will set you back a staggering £630 – but the Glasgow pizzeria has mastered the gold food at just one per cent of the price.

The pizza is topped with 23-carat gold leaf and gold crust dust to give customers the Salt Bae experience.

But the gold pizza is only available for this weekend – so customers must be quick if they want a taste of the luxury margarita.

Head chef Ross Hunter said: “We’re bringing luxury to the masses with our Gold Digger.

“There’s no need to dig that deep into your pocket to enjoy good food.

“Be quick if you want to try out our Gold Digger pizza.

“Once they’re gone, they’re gone!”

Salt Bae opened his 15th site, and first London restaurant, in September this year.

He first sprung to fame in 2017 following a viral video of his tantalising salt-sprinkling skills which earnt him the moniker Salt Bae.

The Turkish butcher, restaurateur and human meme presides over a 15-strong global restaurant empire.

But Brits hoping to visit for dinner might be better advised to book a flight to the eatery in Turkey instead – as the trip would be cheaper.

A bill from Nusr-Et Steakhouse in the capital shows one hungry diner who paid out a whopping £1,812.40 in total.

This comes as a pair of glam Instagram influencers have recently sprung to the defence of Salt Bae.

Sisters Ellie and Daisy O’Donnell splashed out on the chef’s £630 steak – which they said was “something else”.

It comes after a flurry of critical reviews of the Nusr-Et Steakhouse London in Knightsbridge in the South West of the capital.

The eye-wateringly extortionate eatery charges £9 for a single glass of coke, £100 for a gold-gilded burger and £60 for a single tempura roll.

The Evening Standard’s restaurant critic Jimi Famurewa branded the eatery home to “the capital’s worst burger” and said the restaurant wasn’t worth the hype.

He blasted: “The one thing that won’t arrive, no matter how long you wait, will be the moment that anything at Nusr-Et Steakhouse London comes close to justifying the hype.”

But luckily Huddersfield Instagram stars Ellie and Daisy were there to defend the chef – real name Nusret Gökçe – after followers accused them of eating at the restaurant just to take snaps.

The girls shared a video of their glam London night out to their 584.4k TikTok followers at the weekend.

Salt Bae himself acted as their own personal waiter sprinkling salt on their £630 steak in his signature style before slicing the giant tomohawk beast.
