Pesto Rosso sits 17th of 50 on price in Zizzi’s Mains section, at £16.45 and 1004 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Harissa chicken breast. Creamy red pesto sauce. Mascarpone. Casareccia pasta.
That price is Zizzi’s own published figure, and it sits close to the average for the Mains section. Branch pricing still moves it: an airport, motorway or station site charges more than a high street one for the same thing.
Allergens Zizzi declares
May contain traces
Zizzi notes: Cooked in a shared pasta boiler, which may bring it into contact with gluten (wheat), eggs and milk.

Everything You Need to Know About Zizzi Pesto Rosso
How to order Pesto Rosso at Zizzi
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Zizzi app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Mains. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Zizzi Pesto Rosso price in 2026
The Zizzi Pesto Rosso price in 2026 is £16.45 on the figures we hold. The figure is Zizzi’s own published price. Within the Mains section that puts it 17th of 50 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
16 items cost less than this one in the Mains section and 33 cost more, out of 50 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Aubergine Parmigiana at £16.45, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Finding it near you
We list 31 Zizzi branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the London WC postcode area holding the most at 3. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Zizzi app confirms it in seconds.
Allergens declared
Zizzi declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs and milk. It also lists crustaceans, fish, mustard and soya as a possible trace, meaning Zizzi 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.
A lighter choice in the same section
Margherita sits in the same part of the menu at 899 kcal, which is 105 fewer than this for £15.45. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Pro Tips for Ordering Pesto Rosso
Ordering it
The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at Zizzi rather than an awkward one.
What 1004 kcal means here
1004 kcal is about level with the Mains average. That is most of a day's energy for a smaller adult in one item, so treat the rest of the order accordingly. 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.
