Jonathan added: “For Leamington to attract a brand that is growing across the world - despite the challenging trading environment - is a real vote of confidence for the town centre. Jonathan Blood, of Wareing & Company, helped to finalise the deal with Dodo Pizza during the Coronavirus pandemic. “Keeping our store central was a must-have so we can ensure fast delivery and easy pick-up of our fast-gourmet pizza in Leamington.” The deal was completed through Leamington-based commercial agents Wareing & Company, and will see Dodo Pizza creating at least 20 new jobs.ĭodo Pizza was formed in Russia in 2011 and has since grown to become the largest pizza company in its homeland – and is now targeting the UK where it already has four branches in Coventry, Walsall and Brighton as part of a wider goal to grow its international presence across Europe, Africa and Asia to 200 branches by the end of 2021.ĭavid Sweeney, the UK Head of Business Development at Dodo Pizza, said: “We’re privileged to be occupying one of the best locations in Warwick Street in the old Co-op building, which has been beautifully updated by Hatchback Developments. Work is currently underway to transform the building, with a view to the firm’s new base potentially offering takeaway and delivery services from December this year.ĭodo Pizza’s Leamington base is also set to become its corporate headquarters for its UK operations. “We’ll keep pushing forward until we reach our goals.The arrival of one of Europe's fastest-growing pizza chains into Leamington Spa has taken a step closer - and is set to open its doors by the end of the year.ĭodo Pizza – which is in 657 locations across 13 countries – has signed a 15-year lease for 1,608 square feet of ground floor space at 52-54 Warwick Street, which used to form a part of the former Co-op store. That’s why we are planning expansion even before the launch of the first company-owned unit. We’ll make it a success, this store, and the next one, and the next. Nobody knows what will happen when we open our doors in December. After all, we’re launching with an entirely new delivery/takeaway-only concept built around a new type of Roman-style dough. “If you followed our story in the UK, you might think that this move is a bit premature and risky. “Our team is especially interested in the Leamington-Cheltenham-Oxford triangle. “We’re planning a few new openings next year. Yet we’re beginning the search for new locations in the UK. Our pizza shop in Leamington Spa is still under construction. Max Kotin, Dodo’s chief storyteller, said: “Crisis is a time to grow. It has launched two new concepts in Moscow this year, a digital coffee shop called Drinkit, and a kebab shop called Doner 42, under its start-up division Dodo Brands. The brand has developed its own proprietary digital platform, to make its operations more efficient, and has a company policy of “radical transparency”, where it shares individual store sales, and the development process behind new ideas.

The concept will focus on delivery and takeaway only, and Dodo has now come off third party delivery platforms, and plans to do all delivery itself to become “the fastest fast-casual pizza delivery out there”. The new offering involves a square-shaped, twice-baked crust, which is made with more water and so is lighter. The new store represents an overhaul for the brand in the UK, which has so far focussed on American style pizzas, but has been unable to gain sufficient traction in the UK against Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Papa John’s. The planned expansion drive comes as the company prepares to launch a next generation concept in Leamington Spa later this month, which will focus on a lighter, Roman style of pizza. Previous UK openings, such as Coventry, have seen former Pizza Hut franchise owners convert to Dodo. The hunt for new sites is being led by David Sweeney, formerly of Burger King and Papa John’s. The chain, which has around 660 sites worldwide, and four in England, is targeting Banbury, Oxford, Warwick, Cheltenham Spa, and Stratford-upon-Avon.
