Dodo Pizza

Dodo Pizza is a major international pizza delivery chain that originated in Russia. Founded by entrepreneur Fyodor Ovchinnikov, the company is known for its heavy reliance on technology through its proprietary cloud-based platform, Dodo IS, which manages everything from kitchen workflows to supply chain logistics. Since its inception, the brand has expanded aggressively across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

While the brand was born in Syktyvkar, the corporate headquarters for its international operations were moved to Dubai to facilitate global growth and distance the international business from its domestic roots. The brand operates through a franchise model, meaning the actual 'manufacturing' or preparation of the food occurs locally in each country where a branch is located, using a mix of local and standardized international ingredients.

The ultimate ownership resides with Dodo Brands, which manages not only the pizza chain but also other concepts like Drinkit and Doner 42. Despite its rapid global scaling, the company maintains a transparent, tech-first approach to the food industry, emphasizing quality control and delivery speed.
