About This Listing
The Pizza Company has no outlets in India, and there is no single-outlet franchise for individual investors here. Minor Food's site still invites enquiries for country master franchises (one company gets the rights to a whole country and agrees development targets). But Minor Food set up its own Indian company, Minor Food (India) Pvt Ltd, in May 2025, and has said it is considering entering India (Aug 2025) and that India is an overseas priority (Feb 2026). It hasn't said whether India would go to an outside master franchisee or be run by Minor itself, or which brands it would bring, so we can't confirm that an India master franchise is available.

A profitable franchisor doesn't mean profitable franchisees. These are the company's numbers, not an outlet's. A franchisor can grow on fees and supplies while outlets struggle — talk to existing franchisees and see their accounts before you decide.
