Pizza Haven

Pizza Haven is an Australian restaurant chain and franchise operation specialising in pizza.

In 1984, brothers Evan, Louis, Bill and Gabriel Christou started Pizza Haven with the aid of a $A24,000 mortgage on their parents' home. The first Pizza Haven outlet was at Glenelg in Adelaide. Employing twelve people, the Christou brothers were active in the running of the business. Today, Pizza Haven is a franchised business.

In May 2006, New Zealand Pizza Haven stores were bought by Domino's Pizza and a majority were converted to Domino's while some stores were able to stay branded as "Pizza Haven".
