History

Established in 1980, the company had operated Tricon Global Restaurants’ franchised Pizza Hut brand since its introduction in Thailand, and when their agreement was terminated,[3] The Pizza Company was established as the company's own brand in 2001.[4]

In 2004, The Pizza Company began to expand and franchise internationally and today the restaurant has franchises in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Laos, China, Bahrain,[5] Myanmar and Cambodia. There is also at least one location in Vietnam, on Cau Giay street in Hanoi.

The Pizza Company is currently the largest pizza fast food restaurant chain in Thailand.
