Haryana-based quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand Pizza Wings has raised $2.8 million in a follow-up funding round. The investment was led by Gruhas, the investment arm of Nikhil Kamath and Abhijeet Pai, alongside Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar and other strategic investors. This comes after the startup’s successful $4 million Seed round last year.
The newly acquired funds will be directed toward expanding the brand’s presence in Northern and Northeastern India, reinforcing its growth strategy in key regions.
Founded in 2014 by Aditya Dhanda, Rajpal Sangwan, and Vikas Nain, Pizza Wings has carved a niche in the Indian pizza market with its “Fresh Dough, Fresh Ingredient” philosophy.
The company emphasizes high-quality ingredients and maintains strict quality control through FSSAI-compliant procedures and cold fermentation processes.
"Pizza Wings has demonstrated robust growth since its inception and is the ideal balance of global quality and Indian flavours while leveraging a technology-driven delivery infrastructure to enhance customer experience. As a QSR brand, we are committed to using fresh ingredients, including daily-prepared dough and zero preservatives, that have resonated with our customers," said Aditya Dhanda.
Unlike global chains that prioritize metro cities, Pizza Wings is targeting emerging markets in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The company plans to aggressively scale its operations, adding 50 new stores to reach a total of 100 outlets by the end of 2025.
In addition to its expansion, Pizza Wings is also looking to strengthen its team with strategic hires in finance, logistics, and marketing.
