Pizza Tempo France

What Pizza Tempo France does

Pizza Tempo France is a private French pizzeria operator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Angers. It serves individual consumers and families in the Loire Valley through an affiliation network of 10 artisanal restaurants, takeaway and home delivery, online ordering, and 20 automated pizza vending machines. The network also serves local businesses, schools, and sports clubs through corporate and event catering.

Thin-crust pizza is the core product, supplemented by Pinsas, pastas, salads, tapas, beverages, desserts, and meal offers. The dough is hand-kneaded fresh each morning using French flour, pre-cooked at 300°C, and finished at 225°C. Vending machines store prepared pizzas at 3°C for no more than 72 hours and cook them at 225°C in three minutes. Ingredient specifications include Prim’Anjou vegetables, French-origin chicken, Cantal AOP and French mozzarella, and an in-house seasoned Italian tomato sauce.

Revenue comes from restaurant sales, delivery and takeaway, vending-machine transactions, and corporate/event catering. It also sells branded products such as La Ferme Intention spicy oil. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, while Tempo Lover uses a pay-as-you-go points program. Local sponsorship and direct digital channels support customer acquisition and retention.
