Our pizza by-the-slice is a delicious and healthy meal and our mission is to become the default brand for premium pizza by-the-square-slice in the UK. We target the high speed high quality segment of the fast food market.
A year on since their first crowdfunding campaign which raised £440,000 in just 17 days from 119 people, artisanal pizza by-the-square-slice Pizza Rossa has opened two outlets and is now launching a new campaign on Crowdcube. The pitch is accessible via https://www.crowdcube.com/pizzarossa.
Fresh from opening its first permanent outlet at London Wall in the City of London and still operating its long-term pop-up at Leadenhall Market, Pizza Rossa aims to raise at least a further £150,000 to support working capital, and focus on a number of expansion opportunities. The new funds are also intended to support a concession in West London, a presence at street markets and food festivals, and pop-up sites in shopping malls and supermarkets. The investment is eligible for EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) tax relief.
The brand focuses on offering customers what they crave: a conveniently available, quick serving (up to 90 seconds for a piping hot delicious pizza), delicious product, easy to eat on the go and served by smiling staff.
