PizzaExpress, the nation’s most iconic pizzeria brand, has a new act hitting the stage this summer, with bold flavours. With every great festival needing a headline guest, enter the launch of the brand’s new limited-edition Chipotle Corn Palooza, a sweet and smoky sensation of a pizza.
Combining smoky chorizo and chicken with sweetcorn purée, mozzarella, roasted peppers, garlic oil and red onion, the pizza is finished with parsley and Sauce Shop® Chipotle & Lime Aioli, this is a pizza that was born to take the main stage. Bursting with sweet, savoury and gently spicy flavours, the colourful creation is designed to bring a taste of summer to the table and is available as part of ExpressFest ‘26, PizzaExpress’ new nationwide celebration of festival season.
Bringing the spirit of the festival to PizzaExpress restaurants across the country, ExpressFest ‘26 embodies great food, music and togetherness. From spontaneous catchups and family meals to laid-back celebrations, the summer-long celebration gives pizza and music fans the chance to enjoy the things they love about festival season – discovering something new, spending time together and making the most of long summer days closer to home.
The new pizza has already found a fan in singer-songwriter and festival staple, Ella Eyre. The songstress revealed the Chipotle Corn Palooza as her favourite PizzaExpress order alongside Hot Honey Dough Balls and Lemon & Raspberry Cheesecake. As part of the ExpressFest26 celebrations, Ella will be popping up for an exclusive gig, bringing the energy of festival season to PizzaExpress fans with an intimate live music experience. Stay tuned to Ella and PizzaExpress’ socials to find out more.
Ahead of the fan gig, Ella will take to the PizzaExpress kitchen for the latest instalment of the brand’s Live Kitchen Sessions series, where food meets live performance. Each episode sees a different artist perform an intimate acoustic set before sitting down for candid conversation about their musical journey, biggest influences and bold opinions, deciding whether trending topics are “American Hot Or Not”. Ella’s Kitchen Sessions appearance and upcoming gig continue PizzaExpress’ long-standing connection with live music, following the launch of the series earlier this year with intimate performances from artists including Cat Burns and Kofi Stone.
The Chipotle Corn Palooza is available in PizzaExpress restaurants nationwide now for a limited time, making them a destination for summer dining.
