A London pizza restaurant claims to be the first of its kind to offer a range of eight pizzas designed for pregnant women.

Charmaine Wasif, owner of the ECO restaurant in Chiswick, West London, developed the "Pregnancy Pizzas" in response to requests from women craving bizarre toppings, which Wasif says normal pizza restaurants refused to cater for.

Her first request was for an ice cream pizza that combines mozzarella, ham, cranberries and pistachio ice cream.

"Within one week three pregnant women came into the restaurant asking if I wouldn't mind putting toppings on their pizza which aren't on our usual menu," she said.

With advice from nutritionist Dr Sarah Schenker, who was also pregnant, Wasif has developed other ranges including baked beans & sultanas, steak & seeds and fresh salmon & sour cream.
