Why it matters: The nationwide menu revamp comes as the brand marks its 60th year, reimagining fan favourites while offering a special set menu priced at £19.65 – a nod to the year the company was founded.
The big picture: Founded in 1965 by Peter Boizot after he struggled to find "proper pizza" in London, PizzaExpress has grown to nearly 360 pizzerias across the UK.
The details: The new menu features several reimagined classics:
Queen Margherita pizza topped with an entire ball of creamy burrata
Blazing Hot Dough Balls created in collaboration with Sauce Shop, coated in melted garlic butter and packed with Original Hot Sauce
Golden Caramel Chocolate Dough Balls for dessert, served with salted caramel sauce and caramel chocolate dip, finished with gold dust
What they're saying: Paula Mackenzie, CEO at PizzaExpress, said: "For 60 years, PizzaExpress has been serving up iconic dishes, and so we're excited to give pizza aficionados a slice of their favourites with a bold new twist. From the indulgent Queen Margherita to fiery Blazing Hot Dough Balls, our new menu celebrates everything iconic about the brand, reimagined."
The bottom line: PizzaExpress' new menu launches nationwide on Tuesday 11 March and bookings can be made at www.pizzaexpress.com/book.
