Pizza Express in USA
Pizza Express is British, founded in London in 1965, and its presence in the United States is marginal - This is a brand whose centre of gravity is firmly the UK high street.
The format is casual dining rather than fast food: table service, a wine list, and thin-base pizzas cooked to order. That places it against Italian restaurants rather than against Domino's, which is a different competitive set entirely.
Our index prices four Pizza Express items across four or more markets, including garlic bread and the American and La Reine pizzas.
For the brand at its strongest, see Pizza Express in the United Kingdom.

About Pizza Express
A Slice of Soho: Where It All Began
In 1965, Peter Boizot returned to London after time abroad and found himself craving the authentic Italian pizza he had enjoyed during his travels. Disappointed by the local offerings, he decided to bring a taste of Italy to the UK. He imported a pizza oven from Naples and hired a Sicilian chef, opening the first Pizza Express on Wardour Street in Soho. This establishment introduced Londoners to genuine Italian pizza and laid the foundation for a brand that would become a staple in the UK's dining scene.
Crafting the Menu: A Commitment to Quality
Pizza Express has always prioritized high-quality ingredients and authentic recipes. Signature dishes like the Margherita and American Hot pizzas showcase the brand's dedication to traditional flavors. The menu also features innovative offerings such as the Vegan Giardiniera and the Leggera range, catering to diverse dietary preferences. Beyond pizza, guests can enjoy a variety of Italian-inspired dishes, including pastas, salads, and the beloved Dough Balls served with garlic butter.
Building Community: More Than Just a Restaurant
From its inception, Pizza Express has been deeply involved in community initiatives. The brand's partnership with Nordoff and Robbins supports music therapy programs across the UK, with donations made from the sale of specific menu items. Additionally, Pizza Express collaborates with charities like Place2Be and Venice in Peril, reflecting its commitment to social responsibility. The establishment also embraces sustainability, partnering with organizations like Too Good To Go to reduce food waste and aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040.
A Legacy of Flavor and Community
Over the decades, Pizza Express has grown from a single Soho pizzeria to a beloved brand with locations across the UK and beyond. Its enduring success is a testament to its unwavering commitment to quality, authenticity, and community engagement. Whether you're enjoying a classic pizza or exploring new menu offerings, Pizza Express continues to provide a welcoming space for all.
