The brand estimates to close this year with 28 stores in Spain and expect to reach 45 during 2023, in addition to beginning its internationalization with Portugal as the first destination, as reported in a statement.
“For the entire Grosso team, appearing in this ranking is one of the most important milestones of the year, it has become a strategic objective of the company to guarantee an increasingly fine-tuned approach to Naples, its culture and its tradition”, has assured the founder of Grosso Napoletano, Hugo Rodríguez de Prada.
The founder of the firm has advanced his intention to start selling his pizzas in other markets. “This also confirms that it is time to go one step further and plan our internationalization, being backed by this guide, which is like the ‘Oscar’ of pizzas, is the best thing that could happen to us”, he stressed.
