Paavo’s Pizza, Al Warqa

Paavo’s Pizza is a casual, quick-service restaurant franchised from US-based Orion Food Systems.

The first pizzeria to introduce the concept of ‘Pizza in Five Minutes’ in the UAE and wider Middle East region, Paavo’s works on the popular ‘build your own’ concept with both signature pizzas and full customisation options. Originating in a little town in South Dakota, United States, Paavo’s Pizza – inspired by the legacy of Paavo himself – uses fresh, quality ingredients sourced from local farms, cheese specially chosen from around the world and dough crafted to an ancient recipe using authentic techniques. Pizzas are fired in a traditional pizza oven directly in front of customers for a true pizza experience and, as promised, it will be fresh out of the oven to your table in 5 minutes.

As well as being a premium pizza experience for consumers, Paavo’s Pizza is the ideal franchise opportunity for the business-minded. Its upscale setting and high-traffic patterns suit all day dining, and future growth plans include more than 60 new branches across the GCC in the coming five years.
