It is called "Pizza O", the most important Italian pizza and gastronomy chain in Kenya, and is Italian.
Already active with five clubs, take-away shops and shelves, the chain of restaurants and take-aways was born under the aegis of the Osteria Group of the Varese entrepreneur Maurizio Corti.
"I decided to launch this brand to make Italian quality recognizable and give an express, fast and standard service, maintaining the high level that distinguishes our premises in Kenya - explains Corti - we have opened in strategic places of the country, such as Narok, at the gates of the reserve Maasai Mara, Nairobi on Mombasa Road, Nanyuki and Meru. We are opening at Diani Beach and we will soon be present in Watamu as well.
In the "Pizza O"restaurant, in addition to fifteen types of traditional pizza, the menu includes an exhaustive choice of Italian pasta, from lasagne to ravioli, spaghetti and macaroni, plus meat and fish grill and squid frying.
In addition to take-away, Pizza O has activated home delivery.
In the town of Narok, which looks like a trattoria, the turnout is already at excellent levels, with an appreciation beyond expectations.
"Our customers are in particular the travelers who come and go from the savannah - admits Corti - but also the tour operators of safari agencies who order lunches for their customers, not to mention the premises that in a growing town like Narok, which also serves as a satellite for all the smaller neighbors, have found a point of reference to taste pizza and other Italian specialties".
From Narok you move from Narok to Nanyuki, another city that is growing exponentially, where the customer base is made up of British soldiers from the nearby British base. About six thousand young people, tasty with pizza and pasta, who don't disdain good grill eat and drink beer.
Meru lacked a real reference point of good food, and the proximity to Mount Kenya and its reserves, other destinations frequented by international tourists but also local, makes Pizza O an important place.
So for Nairobi, in the office and transit area of Mombasa Road, where take away is an added value.
"Pizza O is a brand in continuous evolution - explains the Italian entrepreneur, already known for its local Osteria in Nairobi and Malindi, and for the Acapulco and the discotheque "Casablanca" in the capital - we have also thought to open on the coast, in Diani and Watamu, not only to offer a different choice to tourists, but to give a service still little used in these parts, such as take-away".
The two clubs on the coast will open in the coming weeks.
But there is another novelty, the Pizza O wine truck-pizzeria, available for meetings, weddings and other events.
To bring the good of Italy everywhere in Kenya.
