PizzaExpress American Pepperoni Pizza

PizzaExpress is a renowned British restaurant group that has successfully transitioned its dining experience into the retail sector. Founded in Wardour Street, London, in 1965 by Peter Boizot, the brand became a staple of the UK high street before expanding into supermarkets with a range of chilled and frozen products that mirror their restaurant menu.

While the brand originated in the UK, its ownership has seen several international shifts. After being owned by various private equity firms and even a Chinese investment group (Hony Capital), it is currently under the control of a group of bondholders led by Triton Partners. The retail products, specifically the chilled pizzas sold in supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's, are primarily manufactured within the United Kingdom through partnerships with specialized food production facilities to ensure they meet the brand's quality standards for at-home consumption.
