Dodo Pizza: the only pizza delivery franchise born in this century

In 2011, Fyodor Ovchinnikov founded Dodo Pizza with under $50,000 in personal savings. Without support from venture capital or large financial institutions, the Dodo team successfully scaled the business from a small basement pizza delivery operation to a global network of hundreds of stores in less than a decade.

But how?

1. From day one, we built our own digital platform, Dodo IS. The unified cloud-based tech platform powers every process, from ordering to kitchen, delivery, and overall chain management, with every store across 24 countries being managed by it

Future Expansion

We are currently focused on expanding the brand in key international markets, including Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates. In 2025, we aim to achieve full delivery coverage across all districts of Dubai and our cities of operation in Türkiye.
