A: Every pizzeria has been inspected by our Quality and Safety team and once they are satisfied that government guidance has been adhered to, including social distancing measures in addition to our own robust health and safety procedures, they’ll be provided a with a signed and dated certificate to ensure the government guidance for social distancing processes is in place as well as our robust health and safety procedures.

Q: What happens if a member of staff tests positive for COVID-19?

A: We have enacted our own internal Track and Trace system. If and when necessary, appropriate potential contacts are identified and isolated and customers will be contacted. We also work with external bodies where and when necessary.

Q: Does PizzaExpress collect customer data for Track & Trace?

A: Yes, safety is our primary priority, so we have several ways of collecting customer contact data including via our booking platform and digital menu. The data is stored securely for 21 days so that it can be shared with NHS Test and Trace if required.

We take data protection very seriously and will only share this data with validated officials for the purposes of Track & Trace, if they formally request it.

Q: When would PizzaExpress activate Track & Trace at a restaurant?

A: The local council, in tandem with PHE / NIHP, manage Track & Trace processes and decide what public health advice to give. PizzaExpress does not implement or run the Track & Trace process. Safety is our main priority, so we collect customer details routinely as one of our COVID-19 prevention measures and will provide it for Track & Trace if requested.
