Pizza Wings raises $2.8M in a new funding round, with backing from notable investors such as Gruhas (the investment arm of Nikhil Kamath and Abhijeet Pai), Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar, and other strategic investors. This follows their earlier $4 million seed round in 2024.
According to the company’s press release, the new capital will support Pizza Wings’ expansion into Northern and North-Eastern India and help establish a foundation for long-term growth.
Founded in 2014 by Aditya Dhanda, Rajpal Sangwan, and Vikas Nain, Pizza Wings is a homegrown QSR brand that blends international quality standards with Indian flavour preferences. The company ensures strict quality control through cold fermentation, FSSAI-compliant procedures, and certified ingredients. Its menu offers customizable options tailored to regional tastes, developed by a skilled team of chefs.
“Pizza Wings has demonstrated robust growth since its inception. It is the ideal balance of global quality and Indian flavours while leveraging a technology-driven delivery infrastructure to enhance the customer experience. We are committed to using fresh ingredients, including daily-prepared dough and zero preservatives, which have resonated with our customers,” said Aditya Dhanda, CEO of Pizza Wings. “This funding will accelerate our vision of becoming India’s premier food-tech brand while staying true to our core values of quality and customization.”
Investor confidence in Pizza Wings continues to grow due to its strong unit economics and operational efficiency in the competitive QSR sector. “Pizza Wings has built an impressive business model with a technology-first approach, evidenced by 80% of its deliveries being managed through its proprietary platform,” said Sujeet Kumar, Co-founder of Udaan. “This approach positions them as more than just a food brand—it establishes them as a fast-emerging food-tech leader.”
Abhijeet Pai, Partner at Gruhas, added, “We’re embarking on an elevating chapter for Pizza Wings with this follow-up funding round, which marks a significant milestone in our journey. The brand’s rapid growth and commitment to quality have set the stage for ambitious expansion across India. With plans to scale to 100 outlets by the end of 2025 and create new opportunities by expanding its team, Pizza Wings is not just growing—it’s building a strong foundation for long-term success. We believe in their vision and are committed to supporting them as they expand their footprint and bring great-quality fast food to more consumers nationwide.”
Pizza Wings aims to open 50 new stores, bringing its total to 100 outlets by the end of 2025, strengthening its presence in emerging urban markets. The brand is also making strategic hires in finance, logistics, and marketing to support this growth.
Additionally, Pizza Wings is enhancing its operations with proprietary rider and store management apps, improving efficiency and reducing dependence on third-party aggregators. By building direct customer relationships, the brand has amassed over 500,000 app downloads and is leading sales in several cities.
