Sunday 10th March, London: British superstar Pixie Lott surprised a room full of unsuspecting mums on Mother’s Day, with a secret pop-up performance at PizzaExpress Live in London.

The ‘Mama Do’ star performed a showstopping set to an intimate room of families celebrating Mother’s Day, with one lucky mum and son called up on-stage for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform alongside the British icon.

Pixie chose to spend her first Mother’s Day as a new mum with friends and family at PizzaExpress’ ‘The Pheasantry’ in Chelsea, following the birth of the star’s baby Albert last October – singing hit tracks to other mums, throwing back to the artist’s first performance at PizzaExpress Live, back in 2015.

Families were able to enjoy Pixie’s favourite meal – Padana with extra jalapeños – as well as PizzaExpress’ limited-edition Mother’s Day set menu including icons like the American Hot and deliciously adorable Heart-Shaped Dough Balls, to the backdrop of stunning vocals from Pixie, for a celebration like no other.

Paula MacKenzie, CEO at PizzaExpress, said: “As the home of family get togethers, we wanted to really celebrate mums this Mother’s Day. Live music has always been an important part of PizzaExpress, so we were excited to have fellow mum and British icon, Pixie Lott, back to the PizzaExpress Live stage for a special surprise show”.

Having long been a destination for families due to its unrivalled ability to offer something for everyone, PizzaExpress continues to make its mark as more than just a pizza brand – firmly cementing its position in the UK music scene with PizzaExpress Live.

The intimate music venues have hosted live shows spanning a range of genres from Blues to Soul and Funk to Jazz since the 1960s. With a number of incredible artists gracing PizzaExpress Live stages over the years, including Gregory Porter, Sam Smith, Amy Winehouse and McFly to name a few, the brand now presents more than 1,500 shows a year, and last year launched its own record label, PX Records.
