To celebrate the end of school I took my son and a couple of his friends Pizza Express. The great surprise was a delicious new children’s Piccolo menu alog with the new film Ice Age – Ice Age Collision Course activities to kill waiting time. We had an amazing time and felt we started Summer with a bang emulating Scrat’s epic pursuit of the elusive acorn which the new movie catapults him into the universe where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that transform and threaten the Ice Age World.
As an Italian I tend not to eat Italian food in London restaurants but Pizza Express is up to my high standards. The stone-baked pizza base is made the Italian way and the ingredients top quality.
Little pizza-lovers visiting Pizza Express from this week will find a fun-packed Ice Age Collision Course activity sheet included with their 3 course Piccolo menu which costs only £6.95, featuring lots of puzzles and games – the perfect way to keep little hands busy while the grow-ups relax.
There’s also the chance to win a trip to Hollywood by creating a picture of your favourite Ice Age character with their favourite Pizza Express pizza. The Piccolo menu includes Dough Balls served with bright and crunchy vegetables, pizza or pasta, a delicious dessert and a Bambinoccino.
Just like the grown-ups, kids can choose from several pizzas – American, La Reine, Pollo and Margherita – or they can create their own. If they prefer a pasta option, there’s Bolognese, Bianca or Napoletana.
For dessert they can choose between a Piccolo Sundae, made with ice-cream or fat free sorbet, or a Chocolate Brownie topped with fresh strawberry.
Visit www.pizzaexpress.com/iceage to find out more about the partnership and for further details on the chance to win a holiday to Hollywood.
While the children enjoyed their ice lollies I ate the Eton Mess cheesecake which is back on the Summer menu at Pizza Express
As a parent it’s good to know that the Piccolo menu was created with help from nutritionists at the Children’s Food Trust, the experts in young people and food, with the aim to treat children as mini-adults, ensuring children get to enjoy the same fresh, high-quality food as their parents.
Dough Balls are served with a portion of bright and crunchy vegetables to tempt little fingers into eating one of their five-a-day, and are served with the option of garlic butter or olive oil and balsamic – heart healthy fats.
I enjoyed my favourite Italian Summer antipasto Prosciutto e Melone
