Last year, Pizza Punk’s Glasgow branch was a finalist at the National Pizza Awards 2022.

Brad Stevens, Founder & CEO of Hell Yeah Hospitality Group, said: “We are extremely excited about where Pizza Punks is at, both as a brand and a business, and the opportunities it has for significant further growth. We've seen very strong sales across the entire Pizza Punks portfolio, which has driven record sales for us recently.” Mr Stevens added: “We are feeling really positive about what the future holds for Pizza Punks.”

As part of their expansion the pizza chain recently partnered with FRP Corporate Finance to boost capital as the restaurant continues on its journey across the UK.
