PizzaExpress Expands Menu with Naples-Style Pizza in India

PizzaExpress, the UK-based pizzeria and café, has introduced a Naples-style pizza base in India, enhancing its retail presence in the country’s growing foodservice market. Known for its soft texture and charred edges, the new crust is made using slow-fermented dough and baked at high temperatures.

As part of this expansion, PizzaExpress has added six new pizzas featuring the Naples-style crust. The vegetarian options include the Burrata Pizza with mozzarella, burrata cheese, and pesto; the Funghi Pizza with mushroom sauce, button mushrooms, and truffle oil; and the Classic Veg Pizza, which combines passata, roasted tomatoes, black olives, capers, rocket leaves, and Emilgrana cheese.

For non-vegetarian customers, the Classic Chicken Tikka Pizza features tandoori chicken, pomodoro sauce, red onions, green chilies, and fresh mozzarella. The Etna Pizza includes ‘Nduja sausage, prosciutto ham, mozzarella, and jalapeños, while the Pesto Chicken Pizza offers a mix of basil pesto, roasted vegetables, fresh mozzarella, and malai chicken.

The Naples-style pizzas are available across 31 PizzaExpress locations in India, reinforcing the brand’s focus on catering to evolving consumer preferences in the retail foodservice segment.
