Telepizza pizza

Telepizza is a prominent Spanish multinational pizza delivery chain. It was founded in 1987 in Madrid, Spain, by Leopoldo Fernández Pujals under the initial name 'Pizza Phone.' The brand pioneered the pizza delivery market in Spain and quickly expanded both domestically and internationally.

Direct manufacturing of the dough and core ingredients is centralized; in Spain, production is primarily located at its factory in Daganzo de Arriba, Madrid, which supplies the network of stores. Internationally, the company uses local production hubs or sourcing depending on the region.

Ownership of the brand has shifted significantly over the decades. After going public in 1996 and later being held by private equity firms like KKR through Tasty Bidco, the company underwent a major financial restructuring in late 2023. As of 2026, the brand is owned by Food Delivery Brands Group, which is currently controlled by a consortium of bondholders (including investment firms like Blantyre, Oak Hill, and Fortress) following a debt-for-equity swap intended to stabilize the company's financial structure.
