Here's what they did differently: 🌟 In 2011 Sanam Kapoor started Pinocchio pizza, but she understood that if she did not do something different from Dominos and Pizza Hut then why would people come to eat pizza. 🌟 Therefore they did rebranding and renaming by changing the name of their brand from Pinocchio pizza to Lapinoz Pizza. 🌟 They introduced unique Indian flavors like Onion Pizza and Paneer Makhani Pizza, and offered a unique twist by allowing customers to order one large pizza with four different flavors in four slices.
