If you’re vegan and happened to stumble into Pizza Express with a couple of mates, you’ll probably have met the Pianta already.

It’s the high-street chain’s vegan-friendly pizza featuring spinach, mushroom, rocket and some other delicious ingredients (most importantly, no cheese).

Like your non-vegan friends, you’re tucking into a delicious slice or three and suddenly it’s dessert time.

And then you realise – there is nothing on the sweets menu that you can eat.


Well, from March 28, that will stop being a dilemma.

Pizza Express are introducing their first ever vegan dessert – Coconut Delight.

It promises to be ‘creamy’ and ‘delicious’ thanks to the mixture of coconut milk and shavings.



According to Holly Davies, Head of Food at Pizza Express, there has been ‘a significant rise in requests from our guests for more vegan-friendly meal options – particularly from fans on our social media pages’, which prompted the new menu option.

Pizza Express suggests you pair it with olives and the Pianta to create your three-course vegan dining experience – it’s the first time that the restaurant chain has offered the whole shebang.

The new dessert is part of the new Spring Special menu, which launches next week.

There will also be a new version of Zapparoli Romana (chicken and sweetcorn), a gluten-free Seafood Rigatoni with king prawn, Cod Crocchettes and Lemon Bundt Cake.

And to wash it all down, there are some new booze options as well – think Watermelon Chill, Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime, and an Organic Verdicchio white wine.
