There may be some issues involved when eating out as a couple.
Some couples order one dish each and then swap halfway through the meal.
Others don’t share – they love their dish and they are sticking to it.
Each to their own we say!
To help those who like to share we have released our Valentine’s Sharing Menu from today until 14th February.
To make things extra special we have played with some of our desserts. First, we created Dough Ball Hearts (Dough Balls in the shape of hearts, of course) and have made our cupcakes base red – Red Velvet Cupcakes.
These are limited edition so make sure you give them the taste test before they go after the 14th.

Everyone has their favourite PizzaExpress pizza.
Maybe it’s the hit of pepperoni with roquito peppers on the American Hot, the Fiorentina with a soft egg, or the combination of mascarpone and fennel seeds on the new Alba.
We asked a few of our famous friends what their favourite PizzaExpress pizza is…
Lawrence Dallaglio craves the Meatball Bolognese on a thin and crispy Romana base, whilst Jodie Kidd loves the melt-in-the-mouth bite of the Padana on our new Leggera base. Juicy tomatoes with pesto on the Pomodoro Pesto, served on the authentic Romana base, is what Sophie Ellis Bextor adores and Patrick Kielty often drops by Regent for a classic favourite, the fiery American Hot.
So, go on, what’s your favourite?

How many times have you avoided eating out because you have been watching your weight and the lighter options just didn’t cut it?
We feel for you and we have listened. So much so that today we bring to you our BRAND NEW Leggera range.
You can now eat (without guilt) our famous American Hot, Padana, Pomodoro Pesto, Gustosa, American and Pollo Ad Astra pizzas for just 500 calories.
And how have we exactly done this? The new style Leggera are baked on our thinner Romana base, a crisp salad in the centre and topped with shaved ricotta salata cheese and a balsamic dressing. Now you can enjoy usually off-limits ingredients such as pepperoni and goats cheese – whilst still remaining at 500 calories.

Do you remember the first time you tried our Dough Balls? That moment when you dipped the toasty dough into melted garlic butter. Well, we decided to up the ante for this festive season.
When we released our Christmas menu a few weeks back, there was one item on the menu that made us very excited to share with you… Snowball Dough Balls.
You may think that you’ve tried it all but have you tried our revamped classic Dough Balls with a sprinkle of cinnamon and velvety vanilla cream to dip them in?
You must be warned, these are best ordered for yourself because you wouldn’t want to share.

Last night saw The Big Audition with Jamie Cullum draw to a close with 5 finalists each performing a 10 minute showcase to a crowded room at PizzaExpress in Kensington Olympia.
With a judging panel comprising of Jamie Cullum, Sir Michael Parkinson, Heather Small, Clive Davis and Beth Rowley, the finalists really had to bring their A-game. A career launching prize included £5000 from Barclaycard Freedom and a three night residency at the famed PizzaExpress Jazz Club in Dean Street, Soho was on offer.
The finalists included singer/songwriter Andy Lewis, jazzy blue-eyed soul trio from the US The Yesberger Band, South Londoners Offbeat South, 14 year old Elle Watson and teen jazz duo Palms13.
From over 7,500 entries the act that was awarded first place was Offbeat South. Their dubstep production with live instrumentation worked a treat with the crowd – people were literally jumping!
A huge thanks to the final 5 and everyone who entered The Big Audition, the talent was truly amazing.

Since we revealed our Christmas menu last week we’ve been inundated with great feedback on our new Polpette Bolognese pizza. We aren’t really ones to blow our own trumpet but these pizzas are just way too tasty to not talk about.
Let us break it down to you… Juicy beef meatballs with a Bolognese sauce with just a hint of spice, fiery roquito peppers, mozzarella, finished with peppery rocket and grana padano all served on our thinner, crisper Romana base.
You can try this now at your local PizzaExpress.

When you walk through our doors today you will be able to take your taste buds on a sleigh ride with our special Christmas menu.
We didn’t go down the typical Christmassy route by simply adding some turkey with cranberry sauce on a pizza. Instead we decided to inject a little heat with a new spicy Bolognese pizza and Bolognese meatball starter.
Oh, and Snowball Dough Balls served with cinnamon and vanilla dip.
And yes, it is okay to salivate whilst reading this.
