The culinary experience at PizzaExpress is rooted in a commitment to simple, fresh and flavourful food. Every pizza begins with handcrafted dough and is topped with carefully selected ingredients. Complementing its classic pizzas, the menu at World St. features a wide selection of appetisers, salads, pastas and desserts, making it suitable for a variety of dining occasions, from
quick lunches and family meals to relaxed dinners with friends.
Since opening its first restaurant on London’s Wardour Street in 1965, PizzaExpress has grown into one of the UK’s most recognised restaurant brands, known for its freshly made dough, quality ingredients, and lively dining atmosphere. In India, the brand continues to strengthen its footprint across major cities, including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Punjab, Lucknow and Hyderabad.
At the heart of every PizzaExpress pizza is its signature tomato passata, made by the Greci family in Parma, Italy, using sweet San Marzano tomatoes crushed within 12 hours of harvest and finished with a basil leaf. The recipe, perfected over decades, continues to remain central to the PizzaExpress experience globally. Every pizza is handcrafted fresh each day by skilled pizzaiolos, bringing together quality ingredients, craftsmanship, and consistency across every restaurant.
The menu also features PizzaExpress classics, including the Calabrese pizza, created by Michelin-starred chef Francesco Mazzei. Known for its Southern Italian flavours, crispy edges, and combination of premium cheeses, the Calabrese continues to remain one of the brand’s most celebrated gourmet pizzas globally.
The new restaurant features contemporary interiors, comfortable seating and PizzaExpress’
signature open kitchen experience, allowing guests to watch pizzaiolos prepare and bake pizzas in real time. The space has been designed to suit a range of occasions, from casual meals and business lunches to evening gatherings and family dining.
Today, PizzaExpress operates over 330 restaurants in the UK and has a presence across 13 countries globally. In India, the brand currently operates 38 restaurants across key markets and continues to expand its presence through carefully selected locations.
