The iconic balls can be enjoyed as a starter or a side, complete with the restaurant's scrummy garlic butter, or even as a cheeky dessert.

All you have to is grab the waiter's attention and utter the magic words: "Make me happy".

Guests are also encouraged to ‘pay in kind’ throughout the day - so rather than scoffing them all yourself, you might donate your portion to a friend to cheer them up, or cheers the waiter with a high five. Whatever floats your boat.

The offer is in place all day in every single Pizza Express branch in the UK, so you can pop in to enjoy your free balls either for lunch or dinner.

 All you have to do to get your free dough balls is say the magic words: 'Make me happy'

There are a few catches - free dough balls are available for the first 25 guests per restaurant who use the special phrase.

And the offer is only valid when you're dining in.

You'll get one free portion of dough balls per person - though the dough balls Doppio are excluded from this offer.

In November Pizza Express handed out free “snowball” dough balls – the Christmas version of the dish.

Earlier this year, to celebrate National Margarita Day, the popular Italian chain gave away ten free Margherita pizzas to the first ten people to take advantage of the offer.
