Updated 12 September 2026
Margherita is the cheapest thing on PizzaExpress’ Pizza list at £13.95, and it carries 711 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
The hero here is our passata. It's been lovingly made using 100% Italian tomatoes by the Greci family, in Parma since 1987. Truly the taste of PizzaExpress
That price is PizzaExpress’ own published figure, and it sits below the average for the Pizza 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 Margherita
How to order Margherita at PizzaExpress
You can order Margherita at the counter, at a PizzaExpress kiosk, or in the PizzaExpress app for collection or delivery. Before it goes in the basket you choose the base. It is filed under Pizza. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
PizzaExpress Margherita price in 2026
The PizzaExpress Margherita price in 2026 is £13.95 on the figures we hold, with branch to branch variation between £13.95 and £18.90. The figure is PizzaExpress’ own published price. Within the Pizza section that puts it 1st of 46 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
The options change the numbers
The choices attached to this item run from Classic: our original base at 711 kcal to 13" Large Classic at 1347 kcal, a spread of 636 kcal. The low end of that range is the biggest change available on this order.
What 711 kcal means here
711 kcal is a little below the Pizza 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.
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.
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.
Pro Tips for Ordering Margherita
Size, base and the number in the table
Pizza figures depend entirely on which size and base the number refers to, and PizzaExpress publishes them separately for that reason. A thin base of the same pizza reads lower than a stuffed or pan one, and the difference between sizes is larger than any topping choice.
The cheapest option in its section
Nothing else in Pizza costs less. The next step up is Gluten-Free Margherita at £13.95, so the gap between the entry point and the rest of the section is small enough that the choice comes down to what you actually want rather than price.
Allergens declared
PizzaExpress declares 2 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten and milk. It also lists soya as a possible trace, meaning PizzaExpress cannot rule that 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.
