Japes, the fledgling deep-dish pizza brand rolled out in partnership with Seeds Consulting, has reported like-for-like turnover up 27% compared to 2022.

The Chicago-style pizza concept was founded by Jovana and Alex Aleksic in 2018, using fresh and 100% natural ingredients.

Japes is now actively seeking experienced franchisees to join the brand in its ambitions to become “a global sensation”. 

It currently operates 2 stores in London’s Soho and Greenwich, with further sites in the pipeline. 

Operating in the quick service, family restaurant segment, the brand seeks high street and tourist location types, with a footprint of 1,500-2,000 sq ft. 

The dough and tomato sauce recipes are proprietary to Japes and make its pizzas unique in the market both in terms of flavour and presentation.
