Russian Pizza
A little bit of news about Russia.
News that doesn't involve the words Trump, Putin and election.
Global pizza brands Domino's and Papa John's are preparing an assault on Russia's provinces, betting they can turn a profit far from Moscow as online card payments become more widespread and consumers get to know foreign brands better.
Papa John's in Russia.
All the way over in Russia.
Wifts of steam rolling out of the box of a piping hot pizza in the midst of a blustery Siberian snowstorm.
That thought just makes me smile.
Good points here:
Multiple challenges have kept global fast food brands wedded to major Russian cities, including patchy transport links, bureaucratic delays, finding an army of chefs who can maintain quality, as well as the sheer cost of shipping often perishable ingredients across a vast country that spans 11 time zones.
Rest of the story:
Wonder what's different about the toppings selection over there than here in the States?
More fish and fermented veggies options, maybe?
Out for now.......

p.s. note that Pizza Hut is working hard in Russia too:
