Watch as we check out the new PizzaExpress that's now open in Speke

Everyone loves pasta and pizza, and the good news is one of our favourites, PizzaExpress, has launched a brand-new venue in the city.

In addition to its waterfront and Liverpool ONE restaurants, PizzaExpress has opened its doors at New Mersey Retail Park in Speke.

And general manager Ashley Orme is delighted to be heading up its team: “Being born and bred in Liverpool, I’m very excited to see the new restaurant open and provide customers with the pizzas they love.

“Our stylish design and outdoor dining area offers the perfect spot for lunch, with the new Autumn menu ensuring there’s something for everyone.”

And if that’s not enough to tempt you, here’s five reasons to book your table at the new PizzaExpress. And these are just for starters!

1. Its great location!

PizzaExpress

You can’t miss this brand-new bright and lively PizzaExpress in Speke. It’s right next to the main entrance of the fab retail park, so it’s perfect for a catch up with your mates, a bite to eat after hitting the shops, or a popular stop off after a day out to neighbouring attractions like the cinema, Ninja Warrior Adventure Park or, a bit further afield, Speke Hall and Gardens.

2. There’s a great Autumn menu

While bringing you your pizza and pasta favourites, PizzaExpress likes to liven it up a little too with seasonal specials to fire your imagination – and your appetite. Celebrating global flavours with an Italian edge – of course! – how about the Tikka Paneer Pizza with Geeta’s® Tikka spiced paneer on a Romana base, served with roasted peppers, sweet red onion, fiery fresh chillies and creamy mozzarella, all topped off with Geeta’s®Premium Mago Chutney, cooling coriander yoghurt and fresh coriander? Or new Dynamite Dough Balls, accompanied by a hot chilli, garlic and roasted pepper salsa?

3. Options for everybody

PizzaExpress

There are vegetarian and vegan options, as well as gluten-free, so whatever your dietary requirements, you’re well looked after. And, if you’re vegan, you don’t have to trawl through the list of dishes to see what you can eat, PizzaExpress saves you the hassle with a separate menu just for you.

4. Freebies with the Loyalty app

The fabulous food cooked freshly for you is guaranteed to have you heading back for more, but there’s another reason that’ll have you racing to return – and that’s PizzaExpress’s loyalty app. Not only will you get free Dough Balls on your first visit, by becoming a member you can enjoy free rewards EVERY time you dine! The more Pizza Stamps you have, the better the reward. You can collect stamps whichever way you enjoy PizzaExpress – via dine-in, delivery, collection, or by scanning your supermarket pizzas.

5. Fun for all the family
