According to a news report from business.edp24.co.uk, “One of the restaurant industry’s biggest characters was in Norwich yesterday ahead of the reopening of a branch of Pizza Express, the chain he founded more than 40 years ago.”
“Peter Boizot threw open the doors of the first Pizza Express restaurant in London’s Soho in 1965, creating a new kind of dining experience and introducing pizza to the British high street,” said the story. “He may have sold the chain some years ago, but remains life president, and his passion for Pizza Express is undiminished.”
