PizzaExpress returns to stock market

November 2, 2005

Leisure Opportunities: After a two-year absence from England's stock market, Pizza Express was re-floated on Nov. 3 at a price of 320 pence (U.S. $5.68).

The 300-unit chain was taken private in 2003. Since then, its owners scooped up rival pizza chains ASK and Zizzi to strengthen the brand for its return to trading.
