Scooters Pizza

Own a Slice of South Africa’s Legendary Pizza Brand: Scooters Pizza National Franchise Opportunities

Imagine owning a franchise that delivers fast, hot, tasty pizza with our legendary 39-minute delivery promise. With proven systems, experienced leadership, and comprehensive support, this is your chance to be part of the resurrection of South Africa's most beloved pizza brand.

A Legend Returns

 For a generation of South Africans, Scooters Pizza wasn't just a takeaway — it was a promise. Launched in 2000, Scooters built its name on a bold guarantee: your pizza in 39 minutes, or it was free. That promise resonated so strongly that within six years the brand had grown to over 100 stores nationwide, becoming one of the fastest-growing pizza chains South Africa had ever seen. The brand later disappeared from our streets — but never from our memories.

Now it's back, led by Juan Engelbrecht, one of the brand's original founding-era franchise partners, bringing over four decades of entrepreneurial experience to guide this new chapter. As a franchise partner, you're not introducing an unknown name to the market — you're reintroducing a beloved icon to customers who already love it and have been waiting for it to return. That built-in loyalty means faster brand pull, word-of-mouth momentum, and a head start few new food concepts can offer.

Scooters Pizza is actively seeking ambitious franchise partners for national opportunities across South Africa. Following a highly successful relaunch, we are busy shopfitting our 10th store within just 7 months! Our aggressive expansion strategy aims for 20 stores by year-end, with an additional 30 outlets targeted for 2027. Our next immediate openings are slated for Claremont and Parow in Cape Town.
