Target

Pizzerías Carlos is a Spanish restaurant chain specializing in American-style pizzas for both home delivery and in-store dining. The company's operational model is vertically integrated to ensure quality control and a consistent customer experience. A central kitchen located in Madrid is responsible for producing pizza bases and other core ingredients, which are then distributed to its network of restaurants. This network includes both company-owned and franchised locations, primarily situated in high-density, middle-class residential areas. Beyond its core pizza offerings, the menu includes a variety of appetizers, pastas, and salads. A key component of its strategy is the control of its last-mile logistics; each store operates its own fleet of delivery motorbikes, allowing the company to manage the entire delivery process without heavy reliance on third-party aggregators for fulfillment. The physical stores also serve as marketing assets, offering table service and aiming to become the preferred neighborhood brand for pizza delivery. As of early 2022, the chain operated 72 locations throughout Spain, including major cities like Madrid and Barcelona, as well as several other provinces, employing over 1,800 people.
