PizzaExpress Cyprus has reaffirmed its position as one of the brand’s strongest global markets after ranking second worldwide for record-breaking sales of the limited-edition Dough Balls during the October–November 2025 campaign.
Competing against PizzaExpress franchises across multiple international markets, Cyprus stood out for its exceptional sales performance, reflecting strong customer engagement and consistent operational execution throughout the promotional period.
The achievement highlights the continued loyalty of PizzaExpress Cyprus customers, as well as the dedication and performance of its on-ground teams across the island. The campaign results place Cyprus among the top-performing PizzaExpress markets globally, reinforcing the strength and resilience of the brand in the region.
