JUICY, SPICY, HOT CHICKEN THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
One of the UK’s largest and most successful hospitality investment platforms
Azzurri employs nearly 6,000 people, serving over 15 million meals annually in our estate of over 240 restaurants and stores.
DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN
Started in 2017 with $900 and a portable fryer in an East Hollywood car park. Word spread fast, lines went around the block, and Dave's Hot Chicken became Nashville-style tenders, sliders, and seven spice levels from No Spice to Reaper — now in the UK, bringing bold flavour, serious heat, and a bit of chaos.
ZIZZI
Started in 1999 with one little restaurant in Chiswick. Now there's 130-something Zizzis across the UK and Ireland. Famous for Rustica pizzas, fresh pasta, and big flavours. But it's not just about the food — it's the vibe, the ingredients, the people. Come hungry, leave happy.
BOOJUM
Started in 2007 as a tiny outlet on Botanic Avenue, Belfast — now Ireland's most loved Mexican fast casual burrito, with restaurants across the island and big ambitions for more. Boojum is all about tight rolls, big bowls, and a casual, vibrant, Live Out Loud vibe.
ASK ITALIAN
Your neighbourhood Italian restaurant, putting heart and soul into the details — full-hearted Italian, we call it. Food inspired by Italy, the seasons, the ingredients, the culture. Every ASK is part of its local community, a place for everyday catch-ups and life's big moments.
COCO DI MAMA
First opened on Fleet St in 2011, on a mission to become the nation's most loved Italian-to-go. Coco di Mama has built its name on award-winning pasta and great coffee, with seasonal menus, salads, sandwiches and treats. Now sold all over the UK in delivery kitchens, major supermarkets and London stores; bringing #goodcarbs and a bit of the Italian dream nationwide.
OPENR
Openr started as Azzurri's own fix for fragmented menu and pricing data back in 2019, before becoming a standalone business. It's since added other customers including Stonegate and Burger King, cutting menu build time and boosting profits, across 1,500+ sites.
