This is not just pizza. This is M&S Collection pizza

At M&S, we take your pizza night seriously. With 30-hour hand-stretched dough made from speciality-grade flours, the result is a beautifully charred and bubbly crust. Slow-fermented using the traditional Italian 'Biga' method, each bite is packed with complex flavour, then wood-fired on Italian lava rocks for the perfect texture – a pizza that’s all about taste, with no shortcuts. After eating at more than 50 pizzerias in Naples, the M&S product development team have created 12 top-quality pizzas in our new Collection Wood Fired Pizza range.

For lovers of a classic, you can’t beat our Collection Margherita Pizza, topped with our signature slow-cooked tomato sauce, the creamiest Italian mozzarella and fragrant basil.

Fancy a little spice in your life? Our Collection Calabrian Pepperoni and 'Nduja Pizza is topped with pepperoni and melty mozzarella and comes with a hot honey drizzle to finish.

For something a little lighter, try our Collection Ultra Thin pizzas. We stretch our Romana-style dough for a lighter, crisper result that's always under 450 calories. Try the Collection Chargrilled Vegetable and Pesto Pizza, it's topped with chargrilled peppers, leccino olives and red onion.

Introducing our limited edition Collection Chicken Kyiv Pizza

Heard the news? We've given your M&S Foodhall favourite a fresh twist. With five Chicken Kyivs flying off the shelves every minute, we thought it was time to elevate this British classic. So, we’ve turned the iconic Chicken Kyiv into a Collection pizza – and it's every bit as irresistible as you'd imagine. It features a rich mascarpone and creamy béchamel base on our signature wood-fired dough, topped with crispy ciabatta breadcrumbs, smooth garlic butter, and tender British pulled chicken, all melting together for the perfect bite.

Best Pizza for Veggies

Looking for delicious veggie pizzas? Try our Feta, Red Onion & Olive pizza, or the Very Veggie, topped with sautéed chestnut mushrooms, grilled peppers, and sweetcorn.

If you prefer classic, our Margherita is a simple winner – creamy mozzarella, rich tomato sauce, and a splash of extra virgin olive oil for that authentic Italian touch.

The best sides and drinks for a pizza party

You’ve got the perfect pizza – now, let’s talk sides. From fresh salads to indulgent dips, we’ve got everything to make your pizza party even better.

Pair your pizza with a vibrant burrata and heritage tomato salad, or a beetroot, goat’s cheese, and walnut salad for a fresh contrast. If you’re craving crispy, try our Halloumi Fries with sweet chilli dip, or light Onion Rings – both oven-ready for fuss-free flavour.

Don’t forget the dips. Dunk your crusts into moreish dips from the Foodhall, like our vibrant Green Goddess, Extra Smooth Houmous or creamy Garlic and Onion. Or try our irresistible homemade pizza crust dippers with tangy tomato salsa. And to drink? Our fruity American Pale Ale is a great all-rounder, while lighter reds like Pinot Noir will also work well (serve lightly chilled).
