PizzaExpress will celebrate its 50th anniversary tomorrow with a competition to allow customers to design their own pizza to feature on the chain’s menus.
The first restaurant was opened by founder Peter Boizot on 27 March 1965, on London’s Wardour Street.
Tomorrow all 10,000 team members at PizzaExpress restaurants across the country will be marking the 50th anniversary.
The brand is also celebrating with the launch this week of ‘Create Your New Favourite’, a competition which gives fans the chance to create a new pizza, which will feature on the menu in restaurants later this year. In addition, customer favourites from the last half century - the American Hot, Margherita and La Reine - have inspired a new Romana65 range, as part of the restaurant’s new Spring Summer menu.
