Greenwich Pizza is a popular pizza chain in the Philippines, known for its unique blend of Filipino flavors and traditional pizza elements. It is a subsidiary of Jollibee Foods Corporation, one of the largest and most successful food service companies in the country.

History

Greenwich Pizza was founded in 1971 by Cresida Tueres as a small over-the-counter pizza store in Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan, Metro Manila. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its innovative approach to pizza, combining traditional Italian recipes with local Filipino ingredients.

In 1994, Jollibee Foods Corporation acquired a majority stake in Greenwich, which allowed the brand to expand rapidly across the Philippines. This acquisition enabled Greenwich to leverage Jollibee's extensive network and resources, leading to significant growth in both the number of outlets and its customer base.
