Papa John’s named Pizza Delivery Chain of the Year

Fast food franchise wins award for second year running

Papa John’s has been named Pizza Delivery Chain of the Year for the second consecutive year by The Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association. 

The award recognises the pizza delivery chain that’s doing the most to drive the market.

Justin Gilbert, director of business development at Papa John’s UK, says: “We’re hugely proud of the achievements and effort of our whole team during this incredibly challenging year. 

“We have continued to drive improvements across all areas of our business. Winning this award back to back is the result of our team all working together towards the same shared vision and goal.”

Papa John’s has 450 stores in the UK and over 5,000 outlets in 45 international markets and territories.

During the past 12 months, the company has introduced new recipe pizzas to reflect the latest trends in food consumption worldwide.

“It’s this attention to innovation combined with top quality ingredients, rapid delivery times plus great customer service that has enabled us to continue to grow in popularity in the UK,” Justin says.

“However, it’s also all about convenience and fun, ensuring customers can have the pizza they want, where and when they want it. 

“Diversification in relation to locations where Papa John’s pizza is available will be key to our future growth. While we will still be opening new stores on the high street, we’re also looking at how we can partner with organisations that have an established customer base and would like to add a quality hot food to their offering.

“In 2021, we’re committed to further expansion, creating more jobs in new stores and continuing to deliver to the communities we serve.”
