Mondays have always been a little tough; remember sitting on the bus bright and early wondering what the week would bring…? Well, now what? We’re sharing office space with our loved ones, and none of us know what day it is. …Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Introducing Music Mondays. Your one-stop-shop for Monday motivation, with playlists to get you moving. “Why is a pizzeria supplying us with all the hits,” I hear you ask? Well, music has always been a big passion of ours, we’ve been helping fans get closer to the artists they love for over 40 years. Over the years we’ve worked with some of the greats, from Amy Winehouse, to Sting, Jessie Ware, and Brian May. Trust us, we’ve got this. So stay home, pop the kettle on and have a boogie around your kitchen. Playlist link in bio. We’ll get through this. Together.
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone...that’s how we feel about our brand new Dough Ball menu that was going to knock your socks off when it launched a few weeks ago. Hands up if you were one of the lucky few who got to try them before lockdown? Didn’t get chance to try? Or craving them already? Don’t worry. We asked our friends at @mobkitchen to create something amaze-balls for you to create at home. Watch this space. Coming this week. #PizzaExpress #DoughBalls
These past few days, we’ve been thinking of fresh ways to bring us together. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be serving up something a little different, but (we hope) a lot of fun. We’re going to teach you how to make our dough, at home. A secret recipe we’ve not shared in 55 years. (Colonel, are you up for it next?) We’ll be giving you tips and tricks on how to make some of your favourites at home, courtesy of our very own Development Chef – Antenor, who’s worked for us for 15 years and makes the best American Hot you’ve ever tasted. We’re going to help you get closer to the artists you love because music’s a big passion of ours (if you didn’t already know) and Madonna was right when she sang ‘Music, makes the people, come together’ We’ll be opening up Piccolo Corner, a place for kids to keep busy and entertained online. We’re also going to celebrate you. You staying at home, doing your bit for society. Making the most of this situation in any way you can. So stay home, stay tuned and get ready to try something new with PizzaExpress. We’ll get through this. Together.
