Famous for its authentic, handcrafted pizzas, signature dough balls with garlic butter, and tasty pasta dishes, PizzaExpress is already a globally loved name.
A debut in the US marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey.
With a focus on quality ingredients, creative recipes, and a quality dining experience, PizzaExpress is set to offer Americans a fresh take on premium pizzerias.
Ambitiously, the company plans to expand its footprint to 1,000 restaurants worldwide by 2030.
PizzaExpress will be partnering with Florida-based Purple Square Management Company.
Led by CEO and President Vik Patel, Purple Square has a proven track record in scaling household names.
This includes huge names like Dunkin’ Donuts and Popeyes to name a few.
With over 245 franchise locations across 15 states, Patel and his team bring decades of US market expertise.
A LITTLE HISTORY
Paula Mackenzie, CEO of PizzaExpress said, “Not everyone knows the love story that lies behind one of our most popular pizzas on the menu, the American.”
“Our founder, Peter Boizot, had a Texan girlfriend, which inspired his creation of the original meat-topped pizza.
“With this link to our heritage, our launch in America tastes a whole lot better,” Mackenzie added.
The sentiments were echoed by other members.
Chris Holmes, Chief Development Officer of PizzaExpress, said, “This marks a major milestone in our global journey as we introduce our brand to one of the world’s most dynamic markets.
