A SONG by a Worcester pop star has inspired the new vegan dessert at PizzaExpress.

PizzaExpress, which has a restaurant in Cathedral Square in Worcester, has added Watermelon Sorbet to its menu.

It happens to sound similar to Brit Award-winning Song of the Year Watermelon Sugar by Redditch-born Harry Styles.

The sorbet launched at the vegan-only PizzaExpress at Aldwych in London and will be rolled out in over 360 pizzerias nationwide from next month

The Watermelon Sorbet dessert is the latest vegan addition to PizzaExpress menus, following the arrival of the vegan version of the iconic garlic butter in January.

Jane Treasure, food and beverage director at PizzaExpress, said: “We are constantly innovating and updating our dishes and are always looking to add more vegan-friendly options to our menus, so we’re delighted to be launching our new music-inspired Watermelon Sorbet ahead of the Brit Awards.

"We have something for everyone at our pizzerias, and whether you’re vegan, flexi or just plain curious we’re sure this will hit the spot.”

The current vegan menu features the American Jack – smoky jackfruit 'pepperoni' and tomato with its signature vegan mozzarella alternative and the Vegan Ad Astra topped with Quorn, sweet red peppers, Cajun spice, red onion, tomato, garlic oil and vegan mozzarella alternative.
