The first store will be found in the country’s capital, Teheran, after which seven others will be opened before the end of the year.

“The arrival of Telepizza in Iran is a major accomplishment in our international expansion and represents a great opportunity for our business. We are delighted to share the essence of our brand, nothing less than offering pizza with a unique flavor at any time or place, with Iranian consumers” remarks Pablo Juantegui, Chairman and CEO of Telepizza.

“We are very satisfied to have found a travel companion like Momenin Investment Group to begin our venture in Iran, which promises to be very interesting. We will be the first European chain in the QSR segment to set up in this country, catering to the customers‘ demand that went unmet up to this point,“ states Giorgio Minardi, International Chairman of Telepizza.

“Telepizza is a global brand that we are proud to be able to introduce in Iran. A distinguished brand concept with high degree of product innovation, excellence in delivery and consumer technology, that will allow us to bring to Iranian people which was missing today in the market: freshly quality handmade pizzas, friendly and innovative delivered at a great value to be enjoyed anywhere“, explains Hadi Momenin, representative of Momenin Investment Group.
