PizzaExpress festive menu to feature dough ball innovation

PizzaExpress launches its Christmas menu on Tuesday, 12 November, featuring a new festive dough ball innovation: the Snowball Dough Ball Wreath. 

The yuletide showstopper features the brand's famous Dough Balls, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar, topped with Pip the Pizzaiolo, a festive white chocolate gingerbread character dressed in a striped PizzaExpress t-shirt. The dish is served alongside a white chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauce. 

Other new festive menu options include the Romana Christmas Feast with pulled turkey, spinach, sage and cranberry sauce; truffle and garlic butter-coated Dough Balls with a sprinkling of Gran Milano cheese and black pepper; the Romana Figgy Formaggi with blue cheese, Cheddar and mozzarella on a béchamel sauce base, topped with balsamic syrup, Gran Milano cheese and crispy breadcrumbs; and Festive Sprouts, roasted with garlic butter ad topped with Gran Milan cheese and crispy breadcrumbs. 

The Dough Balls in Blankets (signature Dough Balls wrapped in pancetta, sprinkled with Gran Milano cheese and served with a sage garnish and honey and mustard dip) and the Romana Mushroom & Truffle (mixed mushrooms on a béchamel sauce base with ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, rosemary and finished with Gran Milano cheese, fresh parsley and truffle oil) will return to venues across the UK this year. 

Alongside the Christmas menu launch, the brand has announced the return of its Snowball Dough Ball Day on Tuesday, 19 November. For one day only customers can order the item for just £1, with all proceeds going to the brand's charity partner, Place2Be, which supports children's mental health in schools across the UK.
