INTRODUCTION
Until 1996, Pizza in India was synonymous only a bready dough base slathered with some ketchup. Since 1996, there was a proliferation of ‘high-priced branded’ pizzas in the market, with the entry of international pizza chains. Domino’s and Pizza Hut, the two big US fast food chains entered India in 1996. Each claimed it had the original recipe as the Italians first wrote it and was trying desperately to create brand loyalty.

Domino’s had grown from one outlet in 1996, to 101 outlets in April 2001. Pizza Hut too, which began with just a single outlet in 1996 had 19 outlets in 2001.
