Prepare yourselves for the return of the Snowball Dough Balls but with a twist.

Incase you haven’t tried them, the Snowball Dough Balls are dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar, topped with Pip the Pizzaiolo, and indulgent white chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauce.

This year, they’ll return in the form of a wreath, perfect for taring and sharing.

In addition to the wreath, the Romana Christmas feast – an absolute fusion of flavours will be making a comeback.

The feast features a tender pulled turkey, spinach, sage, cranberry sauce, plus truffle dough balls coated in truffle and garlic butter, with a hearty sprinkling of Milano cheese and black pepper.

PizzaExpress will also be launching its new romana figgy formaggi pizza.

It features blue cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella on a béchamel sauce base, topped with balsamic syrup, gran Milano cheese and spiced white wine marinated figs.

Now for a controversial side – Brussel sprouts.

Perhaps, PizzaExpress can sway you to try them by roasting them in garlic butter, topping them with balsamic syrup, gran Milano cheese, and also crispy breadcrumbs.

If not, you might be pleased to see PizzaExpress’ signature dough balls in blankets will also be returning.

These are wrapped in crispy pancetta, served with a garish of sage, a sprinkle of gran Milano cheese and a honey and mustard dip.

Last to return is the Romano mushroom and truffle.

It features a mixture of mushrooms on a bechamel sauce base, with creamy ricotta, mozzarella, garlic and rosemary, finished with gran Milano cheese, fresh parsley and truffle oil.

Arguably, the icing on the cake would be some snow – which PizzaExpress also has covered.

On the day of the Christmas menu launch, PizzaExpress will make it snow inside its London Bankside pizzeria.

Fans can see the spectacle every hour if they head down to  Benbow House, 24 New Globe Walk, London, SE1 9DS between 12pm – 6pm.

The restaurant also revealed that the much loved Snowball Dough Ball day will return on Tuesday, November 19.

For one day only, fans can enjoy these snowy doughy balls of joy for as little as £1.

Plus, all the money accumulated from them will go to the brand’s charity partner, Place2Be, who support children’s mental health in schools across the UK
