“Though we have seeded outlets pan-India ranging from remote locations of Guwahati to outlets in Bilaspur, Korba, Raipur, Bhubaneshwar, Srinagar, we wish to explore Bar Lounges, ready-to-eat products and setup commissary/ logistic centres in various zones of India to facilitate our Franchise business even better. We have participated immensely in the pizza delivery revolution, which was once captured only by international brands like Dominos or Pizza Hut. Today, customers are more open to brands like Chicago Pizza.
In addition, Chicago Pizza has devised a new franchise model, Chicago Pizza Bar Lounge, offering beer, wine, and liquor with pizza. The brand has finalized ten such Chicago Pizza lounges in Delhi NCR to enrich the experience of consuming pizza and wine or beer.

Launched with a single outlet in Delhi-NCR in 2007, Chicago Pizza has spread over pan-India through its Pizza Franchise business. Popularly known for its ‘by the slice pizza’ concept and the first in India to device a model of Pizza takeaway, the Chicago Pizza chain operates in two models – company-owned and Chicago Pizza franchise.
