UK-based PizzaExpress opens in the Philippines
The first outlet is located at Uptown Place Mall in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
Pizza Express started at a small shop in Soho district in London and was founded by Peter Boizot. After five decades, the pizza restaurant operates about 472 shops in its home region alone.
According to an ABS-CBN News' article, about 70% of the ingredients the restaurant uses in the Philippines are locally sourced while the remaining are all imported. The brand uses tomato sauce from Italy.
