Popular Ghanaian YouTuber Zionfelix had an interview with the CEO of Pizzaman who goes by the name Christian Boakye Yiadom. In the interview, Christian Boakye talked about his early years in KNUST and how he managed to build one of the fastest-growing food businesses in Ghana.
It all started in January 2018, when Christian was in his final year at KNUST and decided to partner with one of his classmates to begin selling pizza on campus from his hostel room.
He mentioned how he started selling pizza slices for school events and by April 14th, 2018 he upgraded to selling full boxes of pizza. He sold about 45boxes of pizza the very first day of his launch and he has never looked back.
His vision is to own the first local food brand from Ghana to go international.”The only way to achieve this goal is to keep re-investing our profits back into the business” Christian said.
