800PIZZA®, the brand synonymous with authentic and traditional Italian pizza, solidified its establishment in the UAE with its 12th successful year in business. The well-known pizza chain is looking to further grow its presence in the region, and achieve a stronger portfolio in the UAE by partnering with investors.
Alessandro D’Ubaldo, founder of 800PIZZA®, expressed his enthusiasm about the new Sustainability City franchise and the brand’s growing presence. “It is a testament to the strength of the 800PIZZA® name,” said D’Ubaldo. “It is evident that the current market conditions are challenging to any business, but we’re still going strong, and growing and are looking to partner with investors with the same vision and great business ethic”
Since its inception in 2007, the brand’s consistency – using only the finest Italian ingredients to create authentic Roman thin light and crispy pizzas baked to perfection in Italian-made, wood-fired ovens – has resulted in it being a household name in across the UAE. The strength of the business is also bolstered by its incorporation within the Belhasa Hospitality group.
D’Ubaldo says that the key to a successful operation is to source strategic locations with a promising customer base, and that the business’ franchising program has been tailored to meet today’s conditions and demands. “Considering the high profile of the brand, the franchising fees and running costs are reasonable, with extensive operational and marketing support included. These days it’s also possible to find great locations at a better cost,” he explains.
800PIZZA® is dedicated to offering the best and most authentic Italian pizza in the region. The insistence on using the best ingredients Italy has to offer ensures that the food is not only bursting with flavour but healthy as well. From the Italian plum tomatoes that are rich in anti-oxidants to the buffalo mozzarella, filled with calcium and protein, every key ingredient is a source of good energy and vitamins. It’s this level of quality along with the exceptional customer service that has resulted in 800PIZZA® being voted a UAE SuperBrand for many consecutive years.
