Bolognese is off the menu at Pizza Express as restaurant chain is hit by problems affecting food supply chain from Italy
- Shortage of ingredients appears to be linked to problems with imports from Italy and disruption to deliveries caused by the shortage of HGV drivers
- Pizza Express saw a ‘temporary’ shortage of ingredients for bolognese sauce
- Similar supply issues have hit other food chains such as McDonald’s and Greggs
The food supply chain crisis has left Pizza Express without ingredients to make spaghetti bolognese.
It appears to be linked to problems with imports from Italy and disruption to deliveries caused by the shortage of HGV drivers.
The chain said after the ‘temporary’ shortage of ingredients for the sauce, which is made in the UK, ‘deliveries are running again’ and the dish is set to return this week.

Similar supply issues have hit other food chains including McDonald’s, Nando’s and Greggs.
McDonald’s was unable to serve milkshakes, and Nando’s had to closed some outlets
A Pizza Express spokesperson said: ‘Our Bolognese sauce is made in the UK.
‘Haulier shortages were the reason for the brief shortage. Our pizza range was unaffected.
‘Following a temporary shortage, our Bolognese deliveries are running again and we are back in stock this week.’
But it was unable to say when this week the dish will be back on the menu of its hundreds of outlets.
