Pizza sales hot up
Like-for-like sales at Pizza Express restaurants in the UK and Ireland are up by 10% since the beginning of July, chairman David Page said today.
The increase has been driven by more customers and a higher spend per head. The chain has also opened seven new restaurants.
The group's Café Pasta chain has been profitable since July, with like-for-like sales up by 13%.
Overseas, four new restaurants have opened in Poland and five are being built in Dubai, Qatar, Cyprus, the Philippines and Poland.
