Peppes Pizza

Peppes Pizza is a Norwegian pizza chain that serves American style pizza . Peppes Pizza is the largest pizza restaurant chain in Scandinavia with close to 90 departments.

The restaurant chain was founded in 1970 by the American Louis Jordan and his Norwegian wife Anne, from Hartford, Connecticut.

The restaurant chain is currently owned by Dely AS, who also holds the rights in Norway to other cafe/restaurants such as TGI Fridays, Starbucks, La Baguette and Cafe Opus.

Peppes Pizza was the first restaurant that brought pizza to Norway.

Peppes Pizza is currently[when?] present in more than 85 locations all over Norway, and more than 9 million pizzas are served by Peppes Pizza each year. Peppes Pizza also delivers pizza all over in Norway. Their menu was first put online in March 1995 as the first foodcompany to do online ordering. The servings have been described as enough for two people and that the pizza chain is "a cut above the rest".

The bestselling fiction book The Seducer by Norwegian author Jan Kjærstad documents an actual history of the pizza chain.

Peppes Pizza is associated with the Norwegian-American married couple Louis Jordan (born 1931) and Anne Jordan (born 1944). He was an insurance agent, but had a desire to find a new livelihood when his family moved to Norway. Anne Jordan suggested pizza because she thought the ingredients would suit the Norwegian taste.

Louis Jordan took a job at the pizza restaurant "Pepe Pizzeria" in Hartford, Connecticut. There he used his time well and brought with him important knowledge of American pizza. The knowledge and notes from the pizza restaurant were to form the basis for the pizzas he would later launch in Norway.
