Budding chefs under the age of 11 could win a pizza party for themselves and up to eight pals by simply sharing their idea for a new pizza.*  Fifty years since PizzaExpress first opened its doors in London’s Soho, the experts in pizza are now on the hunt for a new generation of pizza connoisseurs.

Feeding imaginations, as well as hungry tummies, PizzaExpress’ Create Your New Favourite competition runs until the end of Half Term.**  Kids can enter by drawing a picture of what they’d like to see on a pizza on special activity sheets, available in PizzaExpress restaurants.  One winner will be selected by the manager of each restaurant and rewarded with a party where they will be transformed into mini pizzaiolos, getting to stretch, toss and top their very own pizza and enjoy party games including Pin the Moustache on the Pizzaiolo.

Adults can also enter PizzaExpress’ Create Your New Favourite competition by sharing their recipe online. The winning creation will appear on the menu at 450 PizzaExpress restaurants across the UK later this year. The winner will receive £10,000 and a holiday.***  Entries will be whittled down to just five by a panel of judges before going to the public vote from 23rd June until 15th July. Entries close at midnight on 30th May 2015.
