【What We Do】

■Vision
At Pizza 4P’s, our vision is “Make the World Smile for Peace.” Inspired by the joy of sharing peaceful moments, a pizza party with friends, we aim to spread that sense of happiness worldwide. Operating over 30 locations across Vietnam, Cambodia, and India, Japan and with the recent addition of our Indonesia store, we are a global pizza restaurant chain dedicated to bringing people together through exceptional dining experiences.

Since our founding, we have prioritized sustainability and community engagement. Our in-house crafted cheese and transparent sourcing of ingredients reflect our commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. We also offer educational and entertaining experiences, such as workshops for children using vegetables grown in our aquaponics systems. In Cambodia, we’ve tackled waste management challenges by launching zero-waste stores.

These efforts have earned us recognition worldwide.

 【WHY】

■Mission
“Delivering Wow, Sharing Happiness”
Our Tokyo branch embodies the concept of “Oneness ~Earth to People~”.  We believe that we are all part of the Earth, receiving its blessings and living in the present moment.

Our mission is to help people rediscover this and encourage a sense of gratitude and compassion. This belief is at the heart of what we do—creating experiences that inspire happiness and connection, aligning with our vision of “Make the World Smile for Peace.”
