Calamari sits 18th of 22 on price in PizzaExpress’ Starters & Sides section, at £9.25 and 678 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Lightly crumbed crispy squid rings with a roasted garlic & herb dip, lemon and parsley
That price is PizzaExpress’ own published figure, and it sits close to the average for the Starters & Sides section. Branch pricing still moves it: an airport, motorway or station site charges more than a high street one for the same thing.

Everything You Need to Know About PizzaExpress Calamari
How to order Calamari at PizzaExpress
Calamari is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the PizzaExpress app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under Starters & Sides. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
PizzaExpress Calamari price in 2026
The PizzaExpress Calamari price in 2026 is £9.25 on the figures we hold. The figure is PizzaExpress’ own published price. Within the Starters & Sides section that puts it 18th of 22 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Where it sits on price
17 items cost less than this one in the Starters & Sides section and 4 cost more, out of 22 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Firecracker Chicken Wings at £9.25, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
A lighter choice in the same section
Mozzarella Sticks sits in the same part of the menu at 552 kcal, which is 126 fewer than this for £8.75. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Allergens declared
PizzaExpress declares 6 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs, fish, milk, molluscs and mustard. It also lists crustaceans and soya as a possible trace, meaning PizzaExpress cannot rule those out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Finding it near you
We list 341 PizzaExpress branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the London SW postcode area holding the most at 19. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The PizzaExpress app confirms it in seconds.
Pro Tips for Ordering Calamari
The side is where a meal grows
Sides are priced low enough to feel incidental and carry enough energy to change a meal's total. The smaller size, or one shared between two people, keeps the main choice intact. PizzaExpress lists sides separately from meals for exactly this reason.
What 678 kcal means here
678 kcal is a little above the Starters & Sides average. That is a full meal's worth on its own, before anything else goes on the tray. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
