Not only is Pizza Express offering a bunch of new pizzas this Spring, but it has also unleashed its Vegan Garlic Better-than-Butter to the whole nation.

Having previously teased the new dip - which makes an ideal side for the restaurant’s iconic dough balls - at one restaurant in London, it will now be rolled out in its other restaurants across the country. And it will be joined on the menu by some other yummy new vegan offerings.

For instance, you can try the Romana Vegan Mezze, which comes with smoky chilli chargrilled vegetables, spicy harissa, fresh rocket and houmous.

Other vegan options include the new starter: Baked Garlic Mushroom topped with vegan mozzarella alternative, pine kernels and balsamic dressing. And there’s a new vegan Nourish Bowl.

There are new choices for meat eaters too, such as the Romana Garlic Prawn pizza. Meanwhile, the Leggera pizza – which has a salad-filled hole in the middle – has had a bit of a glow-up as well, and new flavours include Pomodoro, Garlic Prawn and Quattro Verdure.

And what about if you fancy something sweet after your pizza? How about Sicilian Lemon and White Chocolate Roulade, Olive Oil and Blood Orange Ripple Gelato, or Stracciatella Gelato. There is also Vegan Watermelon Sorbet.

The menu has got new drink offerings too, such as Pornstar Martinis and Campari Negronis.

Jane Treasure, Food and Beverage Director at PizzaExpress, said, “We’re delighted to announce our new spring menu, which is a real celebration of seasonality, fresh ingredients, bright colours and innovative flavours.

"It is a joy developing new dishes for our customers, whether we’re taking recipe inspiration from our archives, Leggera first launched in 2009, developing new vegan garlic spread to sit alongside our iconic garlic butter or modern twists, our new Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Blood Orange gelato, the new dishes give our customers even more delicious choice when dining with us.”

The new menu items are available to order from Pizza Express now.
