History

World of Pizza's own history states that its journey began in 1998, when the first branch was opened in Potsdam. On 9 December 1998, Torsten Kaldun founded the first delivery branch in Potsdam; at that time World of Pizza was practically a one-man operation, with the then 21-year-old handling everything from orders to delivery to advertising with only a few employees. In 2003, with the fourth delivery branch opened in Ludwigsfelde, the company gained the opportunity for its own manufacturing facility, enabling a centralized production and logistics system for the procurement of goods for all delivery branches belonging to the company. In 2004, it began implementing a franchise system; five years after starting, there were already four branches.
