Our go-to pizza chain has two exciting offers this month, as well as a whole bunch of new vegetarian offers! It has collaborated with Cancer Fund Pink Revolution to present its ‘Pink Menu’, consisting of two innovative dishes, Superfood Pizza and Salmone Cetrioli, specifically introduced to promote breast cancer awareness. Until the end of this month, customers can enjoy these dishes at any Pizza Express restaurant, and $8 from each one sold will go towards the Hong Kong Cancer Fund.
But, wait, there’s more. Pizza Express turns 30, and to celebrate, anyone who spends more than $250 and says, “Happy birthday!” to the staff will enjoy 30% off their order! Good after 8pm, Monday through Friday. And if you have a birthday in October or November, just show your HK ID and get a plate of baked dough balls for free!
