The story behind London Yard Pizza is one of exploration, wanderlust, and the pursuit of deliciousness. Having traversed the streets of London, Anand Thakkar, the founder, was captivated by the dynamic energy of Neil's Yard and its outstanding pizza offerings. Upon returning to India amidst the post-COVID landscape, a new venture was born, driven by the desire to share delectable experiences with a wider audience.

With a keen eye on the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) trend, pizza emerged as the perfect canvas to blend authenticity, innovation, and speed. Anand Thakkar, the Founder of London Yard Pizza, enthusiastically declares, "London Yard Pizza is not merely about food; it is a homage to the art of pizza-making and a jubilation of the limitless creativity that the culinary world presents. Embark on this thrilling journey with us, where every bite narrates a tale of exploration, passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence."

Central to their appeal is their meticulously crafted pizza. The dough, a testament to artistry, undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process, resulting in an ethereal lightness that sets it apart. The diverse range of pizzas, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, showcases the brand's commitment to delivering exceptional taste experiences.

First up, they have the Monster Pizza. Measuring an impressive 30 inches in diameter, this mammoth delight is not just a meal; it's an experience that brings together the artistry of pizza-making with the thrill of indulgence. The vegetarian range boasts creations like the velvety allure of Cream Cheese Pizza, the daring piquancy of Bhut Jholakia Pizza, and the invigorating tribute to nature in Farm Fresh Pizza.

Peri Peri Pizza takes your taste buds on a journey of flavours, while the intense Dragon on Fire Pizza ignites your senses with its fiery excellence. For non-vegetarian aficionados, the Hot Tandoor Pizza pays homage to tradition in a contemporary flourish, while the London Fiesta Pizza captures the vibrant essence of a global celebration.

Reimagined classics include the tantalising Chicken Tikka Pizza and the rich tapestry of flavours in Butter Chicken pizza. Lastly, the Smoke Chicken Pizza transports you to a realm of smoky delight. These culinary creations are a testament to innovation, promising an unforgettable experience that marries sophistication with taste.

Chef Rahul Kokitkar, the culinary maestro at London Yard Pizza, asserts that "Each pizza creation is a canvas for us to infuse global inspirations with local flavours, resulting in a tantalising journey of taste. Our commitment to excellence drives us to craft pizzas that are not only visually stunning but also deliver an explosion of flavours with every bite."

Beyond the classics, London Yard Pizza delights in pushing the boundaries of pizza innovation. From the unconventional Peri Peri Pizza to the iconic Mumbai Tikka Pizza, every creation is a testament to the brand's passion for experimentation.

As London Yard Pizza makes its debut in Mumbai, it marks the beginning of a flavour-filled adventure. With an investment plan of 40 to 50 crore and a projected turnover of 135 to 150 crore, the brand envisions establishing 50 to 75 outlets across Maharashtra in the coming months, spreading the magic of their delectable pizzas far and wide.
