How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~ Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie
Time has come, my friends, for me to pass the baton on. It has been a long, sometimes frustrating but always exciting journey, I have had with PizzaExpress & Jazz@PizzaExpress. It all started in June of 1999 when I signed the franchise agreement for PizzaExpress, a brand I truly admire and am extremely proud to have been associated with. And it all ends with the great adventure we have had with Jazz@PizzaExpress, including the recent Timeout award for the Best Live Music venue.
I have so many people to thank, people who have played an integral part on this journey of ours, from all my wonderful staff, old and new, my wife; Anjili Samtani-Radia, my friends, our musicians and above all the great customers we have.
PizzaExpress UK, now the new owners, are fully committed to the continuance of the success of their brand within the UAE and we look forward many more PizzaExpress restaurants across our cities.
