Earn and redeem Avios at PizzaExpress

Avios has teamed up with PizzaExpress so you can earn points on your bill and knock money off your next meal with digital vouchers. Link a payment card and you’ll collect 3 Avios per £1 spent at PizzaExpress when you dine in.

Convert points into money-off codes starting from a 1000 Avios £5 voucher and scan a QR code at the table to pay. It’s a simple, everyday way to turn pizza into points, and points back into pizza, alongside your reward flight goals.

How the PizzaExpress partnership works

Link any UK debit or credit card in the Avios app or at avios.com, then pay your bill as normal in-restaurant (including “Pay at Table” or via the PizzaExpress Club app) to automatically collect Avios at PizzaExpress at the published earn rate of 3 Avios per £1.

When you are ready to redeem, you can swap Avios for PizzaExpress digital vouchers, which act as money-off codes you apply to your bill in-store.

Voucher options currently run from £5 to £250, starting at 1,000 Avios for a £5 voucher, with full details and bands set out on the Avios PizzaExpress voucher page. You receive your Avios voucher as a QR code by email, then present or scan it at the table so your server can apply the discount to your bill.

Step-by-step

1. Link card to Avios PizzaExpress: register a UK debit or credit card to your Avios account via the Avios app or website; new cards can take up to 24 hours to activate.
2. Dine in and earn: visit a participating UK PizzaExpress restaurant and pay in- restaurants (including Pay at Table or via the PizzaExpress Club app) to earn 3 Avios per £1 automatically.
3. Choose a voucher: pick a PizzaExpress Avios voucher (for example, 1,000 Avios for a £5 voucher) from the Avios voucher catalogue and request it online.
4. Scan to redeem: you will receive a QR code by email; show this to your server or scan via Pay at Table to deduct the voucher value from your bill.

Voucher limits, rules and small print 

Avios PizzaExpress vouchers are single-use codes: if your bill is lower than the voucher value, no change or residual credit is given. Vouchers are valid for six months from issue, so it makes sense to pick a value that matches your likely spend rather than over-issuing a large code.

Official limits include a minimum £5 voucher, a maximum single voucher of £250 and the ability to use up to five vouchers per day, all set out in the Avios PizzaExpress voucher limits help article.

The partnership is designed for UK dine-in at participating PizzaExpress restaurants, and both Avios and PizzaExpress advise checking current terms for any restrictions on takeaway, delivery or stacking with other PizzaExpress or PizzaExpress Club offers.

Is PizzaExpress good value for Avios?

PizzaExpress redemptions work out at around 0.5p per Avios (roughly £5 per 1,000 Avios), based on the current voucher pricing bands. For many collectors, carefully chosen flight redemptions can deliver higher value per Avios, especially in long-haul premium cabins on off-peak dates.

That makes PizzaExpress a tactical rather than primary use case: it is well suited to using up small or expiring balances, trimming the cost of family meals, or putting Avios to work when you do not have an immediate flight redemption in mind. To decide what is best for you, compare the dining value you are getting with the typical pence-per-Avios you achieve on flights and factor in your travel timeline.

Tips to get the most from PizzaExpress

• Match voucher size to your bill so you do not waste part of a single-use code.
• Use Avios vouchers on visits where no other PizzaExpress discount applies, and save stackable promos or Club rewards for separate meals.
• Treat PizzaExpress as a way to keep earning Avios and keep your account active between trips, while reserving larger balances for higher-value flight redemptions if that is your priority.

PizzaExpress, Avios and Reward Flight Finder (RFF)

If you are using PizzaExpress to keep your Avios balance ticking up, RFF helps you turn those everyday slices into seats by tracking when reward space appears on the routes you care about. You can build up Avios from dining and card spend, then set availability alerts on specific flights or regions so that when the right seats open, your PizzaExpress-boosted balance is ready to deploy.

Think of it as a simple loop: earn on the pizza bill today, monitor flight availability in the background, and redeem Avios where they deliver the best mix of value and enjoyment for you, from cheaper family meals to weekend trips in economy and long-haul premium cabins planned months in advance.
