Did you know that you can now grab a delicious takeaway pizza for lunch while doing your Tesco shop? With the recent struggles faced by many restaurants, it's no surprise that some of our favorite high street chains have had to close their doors. However, one brand that is not slowing down is PizzaExpress, in fact, they are ramping up their plans for expansion.
Their goal is to open hundreds of new restaurants around the world by 2030, with a vision to reach 1,000 pizzerias. And they have just launched a unique concept to help achieve this goal - a 'Pizza Pod' outside of a Tesco Extra store. This new grab-and-go service is located in Bursledon, allowing shoppers to easily pick up some of PizzaExpress' signature pizzas, such as American Hot and Padana.
To make things even better, there is a £9.95 lunch deal available which includes a pizza and a soft drink. And for Tesco Clubcard members, their points can be used to purchase food, with the added bonus of doubling in value when converted to a PizzaExpress voucher. This exciting new Pod, located in Southampton, is currently in a trial phase and follows the recent openings of three new PizzaExpress restaurants in London Gatwick, Oxford Summertown, and The ICC in Birmingham.
Paula Mackenzie, the CEO of PizzaExpress, expressed her enthusiasm for the growth and new openings, stating that the company is showing no signs of slowing down as the festive season approaches. She also shared that the PizzaExpress Pod brings a fresh and eye-catching experience for pizza lovers and Tesco shoppers alike. Simon Williams, the assets and estate director for Tesco, added that they are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience and make their shopping trips more convenient. He is delighted to have worked with PizzaExpress on this exciting new concept and believes it will make it even easier for customers to grab a quick bite while doing their weekly shop.
In other exciting news, PizzaExpress has recently been crowned the world's best pizza chain at the 50 Top Pizza Awards 2024. Several London foodie spots also made it into the top 10, including Da Michele, which came in second place, and Big Mamma Group in third. Da Michele has locations all around the world, with two pizzerias in London, as well as restaurants in Manchester, Amsterdam, and its original location in Naples, Italy. The Condurro family has been perfecting their pizza-making skills since 1870, with five generations continuing the tradition.
Big Mamma, founded in Paris in 2015 by entrepreneurs Victor Lugger and Tigrane Seydoux, has also seen immense success with over 20 restaurants across Europe. In London alone, there are five locations, including Circolo Popolare in Fitzrovia, known for its stunning floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with different bottles of alcohol and twinkling fairy lights. Their restaurants are known for their unique and maximalist aesthetic, with each location featuring its own quirky and Instagram-worthy decor.
