A Look Into PizzaExpress’ Success
The first PizzaExpress restaurant opened in London’s Wardour Street, and idea all started after Boizot visited Italy. When he returned, he already had with him one pizza oven bought from Naples and a Sicilian chef. In order to attract more patrons, Boizot promoted jazz performances in 1969 at one of its restaurant in Dean Street, London.
