PizzaExpress unveils Caviar Dough Balls for jazz festival

PizzaExpress has unveiled its festive menu, headlined by a limited-edition Caviar Dough Balls dish, available exclusively at selected restaurants across the UK during the EFG London Jazz Festival.

The new pairing sees the brand’s famous Dough Balls and butter served alongside sustainably sourced Oscietra caviar. The dish is available only at selected PizzaExpress restaurants, while the wider Christmas menu runs from Tuesday 3rd November 2026 until Monday 4th January 2027.

Alongside the caviar creation, PizzaExpress is launching a Three Cheese Fondue Wreath, featuring a wreath of golden Dough Balls with a centre filled with cheese fondue, finished with garlic butter, parsley, Gran Milano cheese and a drizzle of hot honey.

The menu also includes new seasonal pizzas and returning fan favourites, such as the Snowball Dough Balls. The Christmas Crackler pizza combines pulled pork slow cooked with fennel seeds and rosemary, mozzarella, pancetta and potato on a béchamel base, finished with parsley, apple sauce and crispy crackling.
