Pirata Group bring Italian delights to Kowloon Bay via Deliveroo Editions Kitchens
Now open and available to order: Pirata Group has launched two new delivery kitchens for its key brands – Pici Pasta Bar and The Pizza Project in Kowloon Bay. Starting 20 September 2021, residents and workers from San Po Kong to Kwun Tong and beyond will be able to enjoy fresh handmade Italian pastas and pizzas at a fair price, ordered through food delivery app, Deliveroo.
‘We welcome the opportunity to serve and delight another Hong Kong community with our signature Italian concepts Pici and The Pizza Project’, says Pirata Group CEO Manuel Palacio.’This marks the third Deliveroo Editions Kitchen for our team with Kowloon Bay joining Quarry Bay and Tuen Mun as additional districts, outside of our eight venue locations, where you can order your favourite pasta and pizza dishes without leaving your home or office.’
Pici Pasta Bar has grown to six restaurants in Hong Kong with an additional outpost to open in Tseung Kwan O by year`s end. The Pizza Project has two pizzerias, in Central and Wan Chai respectively. In addition to three Deliveroo Editions, both restaurants’ products are available at a Wong Chuk Hang kitchen. Overall, Pici`s market coverage is now at ten local locations and The Pizza Project six.
‘Both of these concepts offer authentic, well-made, Italian comfort food that can adapt to lunch, afternoon and dinner, for groups large and small,’ Pirata Group COO Michael Marlay explains. ‘The continued development of the greater Kowloon Bay area made it a natural choice for where we`d want to expand Pici and The Pizza Project`s footprint next.’
Tim Tsiang, Head of Editions, Deliveroo Hong Kong said, ‘We are thrilled to welcome Pirata Group to our Kowloon Bay Editions , they have been a longstanding Editions partner and this is a successful example of the type of partnership that we built our kitchen network to serve. With Editions, Pirata Group can further expand their presence in Hong Kong with speed and flexibility to serve one of our highest growing areas in Kowloon East, and with minimal risk and investment. For our customers it is exciting news as they can get access to more authentic and delicious food on our platform.’
