Homegrown quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand Pizza Wings has raised $2.8 million in a follow-up funding round, with investments from prominent backers including Gruhas, the investment arm of Nikhil Kamath and Abhijeet Pai, along with Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar and other strategic investors.
This comes after the company secured $4 million in a seed funding round last year. With the fresh capital, Pizza Wings plans to expand aggressively across Northern and Northeastern India while laying the groundwork for further growth.
A Fresh Take on Pizza
Founded in 2014 by Aditya Dhanda, Rajpal Sangwan, and Vikas Nain, Pizza Wings has carved a niche in the Indian pizza scene with its “Fresh Dough, Fresh Ingredients” approach. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, the brand focuses on using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. The dough is fermented using a cold fermentation process, ensuring authentic flavor and texture. Additionally, strict FSSAI-compliant procedures ensure food safety and hygiene.

“Pizza Wings has seen tremendous growth because we’ve stayed committed to offering pizzas that combine global quality with authentic Indian flavors. Our tech-driven delivery system has further enhanced the customer experience. By using fresh, preservative-free ingredients, we’ve built a brand that resonates with consumers,” said Aditya Dhanda, Co-founder and CEO.
Betting Big on Emerging Markets
While international chains tend to dominate metros and Tier 1 cities, Pizza Wings sees untapped potential in smaller towns. The brand plans to expand its presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, catering to the growing demand for high-quality, affordable pizzas outside major urban centers.
Headquartered in Haryana, the company aims to launch 50 new stores and reach a total of 100 outlets by the end of 2025. To support this growth, Pizza Wings is also looking to hire key talent across departments like finance, logistics, and marketing.
