PizzaExpress, the renowned Italian restaurant chain, has unveiled its official Christmas menu, which includes a mix of beloved classics and exciting new dishes for the holiday season. The company also announced the much-anticipated return of its snowball dough ball day, which is just a few weeks away. The festive menu will make its comeback in restaurants nationwide on Tuesday, November 12, with the famous snowball dough ball day following on Tuesday, November 19.
So, what can patrons look forward to at PizzaExpress this Christmas? The snowball dough balls are making a return, but this time with an extra twist – they'll be presented as a snowball dough ball wreath. This shared dessert, designed to sweeten your holiday gatherings, is a festive spectacle featuring the brand's well-known dough balls, sprinkled with cinnamon and icing sugar, and topped with Pip the Pizzaiolo, a festive white chocolate gingerbread character donning PizzaExpress' striped T-shirt. All served with a luxurious white chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauce, it's set to be the highlight of the season.
In addition to the wreath, you can also indulge in some new offerings, including the Romana Christmas feast, a festive flavour explosion featuring juicy pulled turkey, spinach, sage, and cranberry sauce; the truffle dough balls, dough balls coated in truffle and garlic butter, generously sprinkled with gran Milano cheese and black pepper; and the new Romana figgy formaggi pizza, a blend of blue cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella on a béchamel sauce base, topped with balsamic syrup, gran Milano cheese and spiced white wine marinated figs. For those who love sprouts, PizzaExpress is introducing its brand new festive sprouts, where Brussels sprouts are roasted with garlic butter and topped with gran Milano cheese and crispy breadcrumbs, reports MirrorOnline. The festive menu will also see the return of the dough balls in blankets, featuring PizzaExpress' signature dough balls, wrapped in crispy pancetta, served with a sage garnish, a sprinkle of gran Milano cheese and a honey and mustard dip.
Lastly, the menu welcomes back the Romana mushroom and truffle, a classic mix of mushrooms on a béchamel sauce base, with creamy ricotta, mozzarella, garlic and rosemary, finished with gran Milano cheese, fresh parsley and truffle oil.
