PizzaExpress is a British multinational restaurant group specializing in serving pizza and other Italian cuisine. Founded in 1965 by Peter Boizot, the company has grown to operate over 470 restaurants across the United Kingdom and 100 overseas in Europe, Hong Kong, India, and the Middle East.

History

PizzaExpress was founded by Peter Boizot in 1965. Boizot, inspired by a trip to Italy, imported a pizza oven from Rome and opened the first restaurant on Wardour Street in Soho, London. The restaurant quickly gained popularity for its authentic Italian pizzas and unique dining experience.

Menu

The menu at PizzaExpress features a variety of Italian dishes, with a primary focus on pizza. The restaurant is known for its thin-crust pizzas, which are made using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients. In addition to pizza, the menu includes pasta, salads, and a selection of desserts. PizzaExpress also offers a range of vegan and gluten-free options to cater to different dietary needs.

Design and Ambiance

PizzaExpress restaurants are known for their stylish and contemporary design. Many locations feature open kitchens, allowing diners to watch their pizzas being prepared. The ambiance is casual and family-friendly, making it a popular choice for both casual dining and special occasions.

Music and Culture

PizzaExpress has a long-standing association with music and culture. The company has sponsored various music events and has its own music venue, PizzaExpress Jazz Club, located in Soho, London. The Jazz Club hosts live performances by renowned jazz musicians and has become a significant part of the London music scene.

International Expansion

Since its inception, PizzaExpress has expanded internationally, opening restaurants in several countries. The brand has a strong presence in Europe, with restaurants in Ireland, France, and Spain. It has also expanded to Asia, with locations in Hong Kong and India, and the Middle East, including United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Ownership

PizzaExpress has changed ownership several times throughout its history. In 1993, the company was listed on the London Stock Exchange. It was later acquired by private equity firms, including TDR Capital and Hony Capital. In 2020, the company underwent a financial restructuring due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a change of ownership and the closure of some restaurants.
