Dynamite Dough Balls sits 10th of 22 on price in PizzaExpress’ Starters & Sides section, at £7.95 and 549 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Can you handle the heat? Dough Balls coated in a fiery Calabrian chilli salsa and parsley, drizzled with hot honey, cooled down with a Garlic & Herb Dip
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 Dynamite Dough Balls
How to order Dynamite Dough Balls at PizzaExpress
Dynamite Dough Balls 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. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
PizzaExpress Dynamite Dough Balls price in 2026
The PizzaExpress Dynamite Dough Balls price in 2026 is £7.95 on the figures we hold. The figure is PizzaExpress’ own published price. Within the Starters & Sides section that puts it 10th 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
9 items cost less than this one in the Starters & Sides section and 12 cost more, out of 22 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Loaded Pesto Dough Balls at £7.95, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Diet marking
PizzaExpress marks this as vegetarian. That is the chain's own classification of the recipe rather than a statement about how it is cooked, and vegan marking in particular sits alongside shared equipment at most of these brands.
A lighter choice in the same section
Loaded Pesto Dough Balls sits in the same part of the menu at 440 kcal, which is 109 fewer than this for £7.95. 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 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs and milk. It also lists tree nuts, peanuts 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.
Pro Tips for Ordering Dynamite Dough Balls
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.
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.
What 549 kcal means here
549 kcal is a little below 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.
