The King and Queen of Takeaway – Arthur & Yadra of Grant’s Pizza Place.
With the help of their three boys, Arthur & Yadra have run the popular pizza shop for nine years and counting. How have they been so successful? It comes down to a few wise words from the owner, Arthur - "My friend … I’m passionate about pizza." Which is clearly reflected in their great order numbers and pool of loyal customers.
“We offer pickup so we can get to know our customers and so customers can get to know us” – Yadra, owner of Grant Pizza Place. The unstoppable duo insist that their customers see how fresh the food is and that they make everything daily from scratch.
The menu at Grant Pizza Place has all the traditional favourites people love and cherish, as well as a range of exotic pizzas for those with more adventurous taste buds. There’s a connoisseur collection with lamb, prosciutto and chicken varieties as well as a Summer and Winter vegetarian choice – now that’s what you call options!
Another key area of importance to Arthur & Yadra is keeping up with the latest community trends so their customers are always more than satisfied. "For us as operators, there is nothing more important than engaging with our customers to find out what they like and, even more importantly, what they don’t like" - Yadra.
What gives this business a real community feel is their love of catering for big scale engagement parties, birthdays, local football clubs and school functions. It’s no wonder that they won the New Business of the Year Award in the Moorabool Shire. On top of that, they remain a clear favourite after winning the Ballan & District Business Excellence award for Hospitality.
Together with Zwift, Grant Pizza Place have continued to uphold their great reputation in Bacchus Marsh. "Zwift is an integral part of our business. We have developed relationships with their staff who’re always friendly, funny and ready to help grow our business"- explains Yadra.
What’s more, the business is not only well-known in Australia, but abroad in England too thanks to Comedian Adam Hills. "We still get people from all over Australia and England dropping in to take photos or to see if we are real" – Yadra.
