**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](http://www.pizzaexpress.com/book?ref=ipswich.co.uk).
