PizzaExpress partners with Too Good To Go to help eliminate food waste
The programme will be employed across the brand’s 360 restaurants in the UK.
Premium pizza chain PizzaExpress has partnered with Too Good To Go, a marketplace for surplus food, to introduce a program to ensure surplus food does not go to waste.
Too Good To Go is a certified B Corp social impact company that connects users with partner stores to rescue unsold food and stop it from going to waste.
Since launching in the UK in 2016, Too Good To Go has prevented more than 28 million surplus meals from going to waste, and through this new partnership, PizzaExpress has joined its mission to reduce food waste.
Using the free Too Good To Go app, the 12.7 million registered users can purchase a 'Surprise Bag' which will be filled with a mix of surplus food - all for a fraction of the price. At PizzaExpress, guests may receive a surprise of a Lasagna, featuring a slow cooked ragu, spinach and ricotta Cannelloni, or alternatively, a combination of three other surprise items including the brand’s iconic Dough Balls, Lemon & Herb Chicken Wings or a sweet surprise in the form of a dessert such as a Chocolate Brownie or Tiramisu.
The partnership is part of PizzaExpress’ commitment to being Net Zero by 2040.
PizzaExpress' Sustainability Manager Cherry Dejos said the partnership means the brand could continue striving to make a positive impact on the environment.
“This is just one of the ways we are committed to making a difference, and among our other sustainability targets is ensuring that by 2025, all of our direct suppliers have joined us on our journey by requiring them to have set their own Net Zero targets,” Dejos said.
