Approximate, per individual cake.

Lava cakes arrive at the store part-baked and are finished in the oven when you order, which is why they come out with a liquid centre rather than a uniformly cooked one. That process is also why they are consistent between stores in a way that few dessert items are.

Where it fits on value

Priced as an add-on rather than a bundle item at most chains, typically discounted a dollar or two if there is already a pizza in the basket. That add-on rate is where it makes sense; at full standalone price it is expensive for what it is.

Ordering notes

Eat it soon. The molten centre sets as it cools and a lava cake that has spent forty minutes in a delivery bag is just a small chocolate cake. Of everything on the menu, this is the item most improved by carryout.

Two cakes come in a standard order at most stores. If you are ordering for one person, that is a portion and a half, not one.

Nutrition note

Around four hundred calories per cake. It is a genuinely rich item and is best understood as a shared dessert rather than an individual one, whatever the packaging suggests.

Ingredients

A shared pizza kitchen cannot rule out cross-contact. If you have a severe allergy or coeliac disease, speak to the store directly and treat this list as a starting point rather than a guarantee. See our gluten-free guide for why that distinction matters.

Frequently asked questions

Because it has cooled. The molten centre sets as the temperature drops, so a long delivery leaves you with a normal chocolate cake. Carryout, or eating it promptly, is the whole trick.
