Synopsis :

Peter Boizot is a remarkable entrepreneur and philanthropist lucky enough to have led a truly extraordinary life. Known to many as 'Mr Peterborough', he's the jazz-loving party animal who introduced pizza to England's hungry masses decades ago, making millions from his wildly successful PizzaExpress chain as a result - and giving much of it away to charity. Now in his mid-eighties, Peter's incredible story comes to life in 'Mr. Pizza', with all of the trademark charm and modesty that drove his success in the first place, from the swinging sixties to present day.

À propos de l'auteur: Born and raised in the town of Peterborough, UK in 1929, Peter was educated at King's School and St Catherine's College, Cambridge. In his gap year between school and joining the army to do his compulsory National Service, Peter made a life-changing trip to be an au pair for a well-to-do family in Florence, Italy. There he discovered his love of pizza. In 1965, Peter opened the first PizzaExpress restaurant in Soho London. Today there are more than 450 restaurants in the UK and across the world. An entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for Jazz music, Peter has been a football club chairman, the captain of a merchant ship, a chorister, jazz club owner, philanthropist, traveller, and much more. He has stood for Parliament twice and is a lifelong vegetarian.
