Made fresh. Always.

Franzos was born in 2012 as a challenger to the dominant piri piri restaurant brand in the UK. We saw that the type of restaurant experience we could offer was too popular to be dominated by one brand. In the years since, we have grown and refined our values, so that Franzos is not a cheap alternative, but a first choice destination for freshly cooked piri piri chicken.
