Rosemary polenta chips with Gran Milano cheese and a roasted garlic & herb dip
That price is PizzaExpress’ own published figure, and it sits below 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 Polenta Chips
How to order Polenta Chips at PizzaExpress
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The PizzaExpress app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Starters & Sides. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
PizzaExpress Polenta Chips price in 2026
The PizzaExpress Polenta Chips price in 2026 is £6.45 on the figures we hold. The figure is PizzaExpress’ own published price. Within the Starters & Sides section that puts it 2nd of 22 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
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.
Allergens declared
PizzaExpress declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, milk and mustard. It also lists crustaceans, eggs, fish and molluscs 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.
What 615 kcal means here
615 kcal is about level with 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.
Where it sits on price
1 item costs less than this one in the Starters & Sides section and 20 cost more, out of 22 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Buttermilk Ranch Slaw at £6.45, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Pro Tips for Ordering Polenta Chips
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.
A lighter choice in the same section
Buttermilk Ranch Slaw sits in the same part of the menu at 235 kcal, which is 380 fewer than this for £6.45. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
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.
