Welcome to Yorkshire
Inspiration • November 26th, 2025
|Ever thought a messy meal could win a massive prize? Well, get ready, because Italian restaurant chain Zizzi is shaking things up in a big way. With a completely fresh menu, a new app, and a whole new vibe across all its 132 UK restaurants (8 in Yorkshire), it’s celebrating by giving away an incredible prize. And the best part? It’s all about having fun with food. A huge number of lucky guests are set to win free pasta for a year, and getting involved is easier than twirling spaghetti.




Your chance to win free pasta for a year
Let’s be honest, eating fresh pasta isn’t always the neatest activity. There’s the slurping, the sauce splatters, and the general joy of getting stuck in. Instead of hiding it, Zizzi is encouraging guests to embrace it. The brand is launching a huge promotion called the 'Fresh Pasta Face' competition, and it’s a brilliant chance to get your hands on some free food. The prize is amazing: 132 people will win free pasta for a whole year. That’s one winner from every single Zizzi restaurant in England, Scotland, and Wales.
The idea is simple. Zizzi wants to see the happy, messy, sauce-covered faces of people enjoying its new fresh pasta menu. The best entries will be crowned the winners. To be in with a shot at this fantastic prize, here’s what pasta lovers need to do:
- Step 1: Head to a Zizzi restaurant and order a pasta dish, or get one through Click & Collect or a delivery partner.
- Step 2: Tuck into the delicious pasta and take a picture of your best ‘Fresh Pasta Face’. Think sauce on your cheek, a triumphant slurp, or just pure foodie happiness.
- Step 3: Post your photo on your Instagram grid. Make sure to tag @WeAreZizzi, use the hashtag #FreshPastaFace, and tag the location of the restaurant (for example, #ZizziLeeds).
Diners have until the end of 2025 to get their entries in. After that, a panel of judges will pick the most creative and fun Fresh Pasta Face from each of the 132 restaurants. The winners will then be enjoying free pasta for a year!

What’s on the new menu?
The whole celebration is built around Zizzi’s fantastic new food menu. The main event is the all-fresh pasta selection. This isn’t just any pasta; it’s made with free-range eggs and British flour, and the sauces are all cooked to order. The brand is introducing some cool new pasta shapes too.
| Pasta Shape | What It's Like |
|---|---|
| Chitarra | A sort of square spaghetti, great for catching sauce. |
| Mafaldine | Looks like long ribbons with wavy, ruffled edges. |
| Casareccia | Short, rolled-up twists that are perfect for chunkier sauces. |
New dishes on the menu include a rich Truffle Cacio E Pepe and a flavour-packed Meatballs Alla Vodka. Even old Zizzi favourites are getting an upgrade. The classic Pomodoro, Chorizo Carbonara, and Bolognese Classico will now be served with the new Chitarra fresh pasta. There's a lot to try across the new menu during the coming days and weeks.
More than just pasta
It’s not just the main courses getting a makeover. The dessert and drinks menu has some playful new additions. Thanks to new candy floss machines being installed in all restaurants, guests can now order a Candy Floss Dolce. It’s a spectacular dessert with wild strawberry gelato, dragon fruit sorbet, and pink meringue, all topped with freshly spun candy floss. There's also a new Wild Strawberry Daiquiri that gets the same fluffy candy floss finish. It’s a really fun touch that makes the dining experience even more memorable.
A new look and a new app
The "fresh era" at Zizzi goes beyond the food. Many of its restaurants have been steadily renovated. When guests visit, they’ll find bright spaces with vibrant murals painted by artists, life-size trees, and stylish Tuscan tiles. Even the tableware is new, with colourful splatter-patterned bowls and fruit-shaped dishes adding more personality to every meal. This fresh look is being rolled out across every Zizzi restaurant.
To top it all off, there’s a brand-new app for members of the Zillionaires' Club, Zizzi's loyalty scheme. The app makes it easy for guests to book a table and collect points to spend on future rewards. To celebrate the launch, the brand has a special offer. From today until Friday 28th November, Zillionaires can get 30% off food. This offer is a great excuse to try out the new menu, but it cannot be used with other discounts. Being part of the club certainly has its perks!
The important bits (the rules)
Like any competition, there are a few rules to keep in mind for the Fresh Pasta Face promotion. The promoter, which is Zizzi, has set these up to make sure everything is fair for all the entries.
- Your Instagram profile must be public so the judges can see your entry.
- The prize is one free pasta dish every seven days for a calendar year, added to a Zillionaires' Club account. So, winners will need to sign up to the free club to get their prize.
- The prize cannot be swapped for cash, and unused pasta dishes don't roll over to the next week.
- The promoter reserves the right to disqualify any entries that don’t follow the rules or contain anything inappropriate. They also have the right to change the promotion if something unexpected happens.
Corinne Prior, Brand and Customer Experience Director at Zizzi, said,
“Our autumn menu marks an exciting new chapter for Zizzi. We’re making everything more playful - from the new menu and desserts to our colourful plates and app. Guests will find the same Zizzi they love, but brighter, bolder, and fuller of life than ever before. There’s never been a better time to visit your local Zizzi and snap your Fresh Pasta Face.”
So, the stage is set for a fun and delicious new season at Zizzi. With a chance to win free pasta for a year, a tempting new menu to explore, and a great offer for Zillionaires' Club members, it’s the perfect time to book a table and get ready to show off that Fresh Pasta Face.
