Pizza Express: One of the UK’s Largest Italian Restaurant Chains
Pizza Express is one of the UK’s largest chains of Italian restaurants and is best known for its range of pizzas. If delicious cheesy pizza is your favourite, you are in for a treat! There are more than 360 establishments in the UK, each with varying hours of operation but all with a similar menu of pizza and other Italian favourites that can be eaten in the restaurant or ordered for delivery. Easily one of the more popular Italian restaurants in the UK, there will be something for everyone on the menu.
You can choose from starters such as garlic bread, prawns, and other small delicacies. For the main course, you can choose from pizzas or pasta; however, there is also the option for chicken or steak dishes if you don’t fancy something too Italian. There is a kids’ menu, too, making eating out as a family easy. There is a selection of fine wines, champagnes, alcoholic cocktails and mocktails. As a Tastecard holder, you can often get discounts on starters, mains, and desserts at many branches.
The chain is primarily found on the high streets, shopping centres, food courts, and services. Locations can be found most in cities and larger towns, and because of its takeaway service, almost everyone in the UK can order their food.
Most Pizza Express branches open at 11:30 AM all week and close at 11 PM Monday through Saturday and at 10 PM on Sundays.
Pizza Express opening times might differ during major holidays such as Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and bank holidays. Check our Restaurant locator for Restaurants open near you today.
Here are five little-known facts that you probably didn’t know:
- It celebrated its 50th anniversary back in 2015.
- To help prevent Venice from sinking in 1977, the company created the Pizza Veneziana and pledged a donation to the Venice in Peril Fund for each pizza sold.
- The restaurant also partners with Macmillan Cancer Support and donates proceeds from certain menu items.
- Founder Peter Boizot imported the first proper pizza oven from Italy to the UK and knocked a wall down to get it into his first restaurant as it would not fit through the door.
- The chain can be found in several different countries.
While the name suggests they sell pizza in their restaurant, you can also find many other Italian specialities on the menu. Pasta dishes such as carbonara, lasagne, and spaghetti bolognese, among others, can all be enjoyed. Of course, pizza is the primary type of food on offer here, and you will be presented with a menu full of classic favourites such as pepperoni and margherita pizzas and speciality pizzas such as the ‘Sloppy Giuseppe’ and ‘La Reine’.
There are four different menus that you can use when ordering: one is the main menu for when you are dining in, another is a children’s menu with dishes and tastes tailored for children, a light menu that offers some healthier options, and of course, a takeaway menu that you can use when calling up to have a pizza delivered to your home.
They even sell their frozen pizza in supermarkets that stock them! Now, you can cook your tasty Pizza Express pizza from the comfort of your home.
Pizza Express was born out of a holiday. Founder Peter Boizot visited Italy one year and then realized that the quality of pizza in London was nowhere near as good as it should be. He decided to start his pizza restaurant in London in 1965 and added a different twist by bringing in entertainment for guests in the form of jazz bands playing live music in the evenings.
The brand quickly started to grow, with new restaurants opening nationwide. Eventually, their restaurants would be seen in several countries, with more than 100 locations now open across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As for the restaurant count in the UK, this would eventually grow to the 360+ restaurants seen on high streets today.
