In 1997, when I decided to open Jerry’s Pizza, the pizza options in Bucharest were fairly limited and pizza delivery service was non-existent. Jerry’s Pizza changed the rules of the game. We introduced a service that did not existed on the market, the home delivery, but we also came with a new product, an American style pizza, with New York Style crust, special pizza sauce, real mozzarella and toppings at choice. Topping and delivery were also new terms back then. If our menu included initially only a few product, now it is more diversified: 25 types of pizza, the customizable option and other 8 categories of complementary products.
