Pizza Inn announced it has executed an international development agreement with Principal Master Licensee Walid Haider, chairman of Azalea Investment LLC in Dubai, UAE. Five stores will open in Qatar, with the first store projected to open in the city of Doha in March 2022.

Founded in 1958, Pizza Inn is an international pizza chain featuring traditional and specialty pizzas, as well as freshly made pastas, sandwiches, and desserts. Pizza Inn is a subsidiary of RAVE Restaurant Group Inc., which is based in Dallas.

“Once these five new stores open, Pizza Inn will have 37 international locations across the globe,” said RAVE Restaurant Group’s president and CEO, Brandon Solano.

“I look forward to bringing this iconic pizza brand to Qatar,” said Haider. “Pizza Inn’s house-made dough and fresh, quality ingredients will be popular for people living in these communities. I am thrilled by this opportunity to establish and grow Pizza Inn in the region,” he added.
