PizzaExpress (Restaurants) Limited,[1] trading as PizzaExpress and or Pizza Marzano and Milano in the Republic of Ireland, is a British multinational pizza restaurant chain, with over 500 restaurants across the United Kingdom and 100 overseas in Europe, Hong Kong, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Saudi Arabia.[2] It was founded in 1965 by Peter Boizot.[3] In July 2020, the business was taken over by its bondholders under a debt-for-equity swap with previous owner Hony Capital.[4] In November 2020, Hony Capital left the business and the group restructure was completed, helping to cut the casual dining chain's debt by more than £400 million.[5]
