History

[edit]

Established in 1980, the company had operated Tricon Global Restaurants’ franchised Pizza Hut brand since its introduction in Thailand, and when their agreement was terminated,[3] The Pizza Company was established as the company's own brand in 2001.[4]

In 2004, The Pizza Company began to expand and franchise internationally and today the restaurant has franchises in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Laos, China, Bahrain,[5] Myanmar and Cambodia. There are also multiple locations in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Pizza Company is currently the largest pizza fast food restaurant chain in Thailand.
