GREGGS is ready to take on Domino’s and the pizza kings with a massive menu shake-up.
The high-street bakery giant is launching an all-new Veggie Feast Pizza, which is set to hit shops nationwide on March 20 from 11am.
The pizza is loaded with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, sweetcorn, mixed peppers, and red onion. This is then on a soft, focaccia-style base.
The price of the pizza, which is 573 calories per slice, will start from £2.40.
You won’t have to fork out a fortune for a slice of the action either.
Greggs is offering a big discount on pizza boxes with its Slice Saver promotion, with up to 25% off pizza sharing boxes from now until the March 30.
For a limited time, you can grab 4-slice boxes for just £6.50 (down from £7.95) or a 6-slice box for only £7.99 (normally £9.95).
The Veggie Feast Pizza isn’t the only treat on the new spring menu, either.
The Piri Piri Chicken Pasta is making a comeback, which is made up of Piri Piri chicken breast slices and a spicy mayo-style dressing.
The spicy treat will start from £3.35 and is only 360 calories.
The Piri Piri Chicken Pasta is not the only item making a comeback, with the Tuna Crunch Roll returning with a new recipe.
It is a white and wholemeal roll packed with tuna in red pepper relish and mayonnaise, with tangy red onion and fresh salad leaves.
It will be a part of Greggs’ Balanced Choice range with prices starting from £3.25, and will be 320 calories.
The bakery will also be releasing a new Mint Lemonade and sweet Peach Iced Tea, which will start at £2.50, and £2.55 respectively.
All the items listed above will be released on March 20 as part of Greggs’ Spring menu.
The bakery chain only recently started pivoting away from its iconic steak bakes and sausage rolls, as it grows its presence on the high street.
In February, it launched a new chicken burger and wrap to menus as part of its hot made-to-order range.
The BBQ crispy chicken burger costs £4, while the wrap has southern fried chicken goujons and costs £3.80.
Both items are part of the Hot Sandwich Deal, which includes any hot sandwich, wedges, or side salad and a drink for £4.95.
It had previously launched a new fish finger sandwich and wrap last May.
Elsewhere, Subway released a hot cross bun footlong in time for Easter.
The spiced sweet bread costs £1.79 is now available to buy at all Subway stores across the UK.
Whilst, earlier this month, McDonald’s released a limited edition mint-flavoured Shamrock Shake in restaurants in honour of St Patrick’s Day.
The shake, usually only seen in the US, has never been available in the UK until now.
But, it’s only on sale until March 25, meaning customers have just a few days left to get one before it comes off menus.
