Since its foundation, PizzaExpress has specialised primarily in handmade pizza in the traditional Italian style. PizzaExpress introduced the lighter pizza Leggera, the first pizza range on the high street that contains around 500 calories.

Our history. Our love affair with Italian food is long-term. In 1965, a wise man called Peter Boizot knew pizza in London could be better. So he shipped over an authentic oven from Italy, opened the first-ever PizzaExpress and got to work serving the great pizza the UK deserved.
