Pizza Express Launches 'Mac & Wings' Delivery Brand Across 300+ UK Sites From March 3

The chain is targeting surging chicken demand by using its kitchens to produce a distinct concept for Deliveroo customers.

Overview

  • Orders will be fulfilled exclusively through Deliveroo at launch, with food prepared by Pizza Express chefs in existing restaurants.
  • The company says the venture will start as delivery-only, and it may consider standalone locations later.
  • The menu features baked wings with flavours such as hot honey, plus buttermilk chicken tenders and dips including spicy tomato & chilli, garlic butter and "pizzanaise".
  • Pizza Express is positioning baked rather than fried wings as a key point of difference from rivals.
  • Executives say the move responds to rapid growth in UK chicken demand and rising competition from Domino's and US entrants including Wingstop, Popeyes and Raising Cane’s.
