Papa Johns, one of the world’s leading pizza chains, has officially entered the Indian market with the launch of four new restaurants in Bengaluru, located in Indiranagar, Hennur, Electronic City, and Sarjapur Road. Operated by PJP Foods India Private Limited (a joint venture between PJP Investments Group and Ambrosia QSR), the brand aims to deliver on its iconic promise of “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.”, featuring a special Ghee Roast Pizza crafted exclusively for India.

All Bengaluru outlets are supported by a centralised Quality Control Center (QCC) in Hennur, where Papa Johns’ signature fresh dough is prepared daily to maintain quality and consistency across all restaurants.

To mark the launch, Papa Johns collaborated with actor and content creator Danish Sait, who appears in a vibrant launch video celebrating the brand’s entry into India with humour and local flair.

Speaking on the launch, Tapan Vaidya, Group CEO of PJP Investments Group, said,

“This is a proud moment for us as we deliver the Papa Johns experience to Indian customers. Our pizzas are crafted with fresh, never-frozen dough, premium toppings, and a focus on consistent quality. Bengaluru is a fitting city to begin this journey, and we look forward to expanding rapidly across the country.”

Ravi Thanawala, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President at Papa Johns, added,

“India is one of the most dynamic foodservice markets in the world, and we are delighted to open our first store in Bengaluru. Opening both our first restaurant and a Quality Control Center represents a strong foundation for long-term growth.”

Vish Narain, Managing Partner at Pulsar Capital and Chairman of Ambrosia QSR, shared,

“Our endeavour is to provide excellent quality pizzas at affordable prices, appealing to diverse Indian tastes.”

The launch highlights Papa Johns’ international growth strategy and its mission to bring premium-quality pizza experiences to customers worldwide, with plans for nationwide expansion already underway.
