Welcome to Pizzaman Chickenman, the taste of homegrown Ghanaian ambition. Our story isn't about global franchises or foreign capital; it's about two determined students, a rented room in Kumasi, and an unshakeable belief that Ghana deserved its own fast-food champion.

The Beginning: A Pizza Slice and a Hostel Room

The Beginning: A Pizza Slice and a Hostel Room

Our journey began in January 2018 in a small rented apartment in Kotei-Kumasi, near KNUST. It was here that two final-year students, Christian Boakye Yiadom (Actuarial Science) and Ebenezer Essuman-Amankwah (Mathematics), along with Prince Owusu, decided to turn their side hustle into a vision. We started small: selling pizza by the slice, using simple, everyday items to run our small operation. In a moment of pure student ingenuity, we even used our study table as a makeshift kitchen counter, applying our math skills to creatively fold A4 paper sheets into our first packaging materials. The word spread quickly. Our first major contract came from the KNUST Women's Commissioner, and soon, student organizations were lining up. It was a surprising sight: a former student leader turning to food business, but it affirmed a simple truth: people loved our food.

Setbacks and the Birth of a Sister Brand

Our ambition wasn't without its challenges. After a promising start that saw us selling our first commercial full box of pizza in April 2018, we faced financial obstacles that forced a temporary halt. We moved and reopened with renewed determination in a small shop at Ayeduase, achieving a promising revenue of GH₵12,000 in our first month alone. But we knew to truly serve Ghana, we couldn't rely on pizza alone. In 2019, through a pivotal partnership with Quick Angels Ghana Limited, we had our breakthrough. We introduced our sister brand, Chickenman, under the umbrella of CEQA Foods. This wasn't just an addition; it was a strategy to ensure our beloved Jollof and Fried Rice, could stand proudly alongside our pizzas. This dual-brand model allowed us to offer the best of both worlds: Western convenience and authentic Ghanaian flavour, served with speed and quality.

Our Vision

Is to become the leading producer of fast, tasty, yet healthy and affordable meals in Ghana, West Africa, and Africa at large.

Our Mission

Is to exist both for the purpose of generating sales and profits, and to serve our customers. We strive to be the first destination of choice for Ghanaians when it comes to anything pizza or chicken, offering a welcoming environment and top-notch, quick, and efficient service, all while expanding our outstanding reputation far beyond our borders.

Our Innovation

We are masters of duality, offering two distinct brands designed to capture the whole market:

Pizzaman:

This is where comfort meets culinary palette. Our offering is a delicious fusion of the American Deep Dish and Italian-style pizza, featuring a default 9.5-inch crust. We offer a variety of toppings, from beef and chicken to tuna and ham, but also give our customers the liberty to choose their preferred toppings and create their own perfect pizza.

Chickenman:

This is our celebration of authentic Ghanaian flavor. We specialize in chicken (wings, leg quarters) and beef cubes, served alongside rich Ghanaian staples: Fried Rice, Ghana Jollof Rice, and traditional Rice and Stew. Our chicken is prepared using a special recipe that features locally produced, aromatic spices like ginger, garlic, hwentia*, and rosemary, ensuring a unique taste that feels like home.
