SAVVY shoppers have the chance to get their hands on a Pizza Express meal for just 33p but there’s a catch.
The restaurant chain is arranging the generous offer to celebrate its 60th birthday.
Serving foodies for nearly six decades, Pizza Express has become an Italian high-street staple.
To mark its anniversary, the food giant has plans to sell part of its menu for the original price when it first opened.
For just one hour on March 27, diners have the chance to get their hands on the retro deal.
Those hoping to splash the cash could look to get the La Reine for an added 19p.
Others being made available at the discounted rate include the American for just 45p and the hot equivalent for 50p.
The full sized servings can all be upgraded to a Romana base for an extra £1.95.
Those worried about missing out on the steal could still make the most of the occasion with another bargain to choose from.
For a limited time the pizzeria will be advertising a two-course set menu for less than £20.
Dishes not included in that offer are the leggera, large classic, Duo Romana, piccolo, large classic duo and calzone pizzas and Al Forno and salad dishes.
Bargain hunters will want to note down the date for their diaries with the cheap prices only on offer from 5-6pm next Thursday.
The chain was first founded in Peterborough and has since gained more than 300 restaurants across the country.
It even has a further 80 worldwide.
The anniversary celebration seems to parallel St John that offered its 1994 menu at the original prices last year.
It follows Pizza Express customers becoming angered after an “iconic” menu item was axed.
The Calabrese – a hot and spicy sausage pizza– had been a “legendary” menu choice since it launched in 2010.
However, it has lately been withdrawn in favour of new options.
History of Pizza Express
PIZZA Express opened its first UK restaurant in Wardour Street, London in 1965.
A second followed shortly after, opening on Coptic Street next to the British Museum, in 1967.
The chain now runs 370 pizzerias across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
