100% HALAL PIZZA SHOP
From Sam & Ali
We saw the writing on the wall.
Everywhere you looked, pizza franchises in Australia were going stale.
Burnt-out owners, outdated branding, bad marketing, and the same tired race to the bottom.
It was like everyone was trying to out-Domino’s Domino’s — cheap deals, bulk offers, and zero passion.
Meanwhile, Pizza Hut’s still out here pretending it’s 1995.
The problem? No love for the brand.
Just desperate undercutting and throwing “$5 pizza” signs around like it’s a clearance sale.
We set out to do the opposite.
We built Dough Time to be premium, exciting, and actually worth caring about.
Exciting branding, sharp marketing, and a product people rave about.
One of our pizzas was so popular, we had to trademark it.
We’re not trying to out-cheap the cheap guys.
We’re here to build something better.
And if you’re ready to do the same, we’ll show you how.
We’re not a faceless corporate machine. You’ll have direct access to us, the founders, and a dedicated support team.
We care about our franchisees. Your growth is our growth. We’re focused on building long-term partnerships, not just signing deals and disappearing.
Forget chasing suppliers. We’ve built a streamlined supply network that ensures you get the best ingredients and products, delivered fast and hassle-free.
Dough Time started in Sydney in 2023, when two brothers, Sam and Ali, opened their first store in Quakers Hill. With over 30 years of combined pizza-making experience, they set out to bring back the joy of classic, quality pizza at an affordable price. Their approach was simple — never compromise on flavour or freshness, but always keep the pizzas accessible to everyone.
The brand took off quickly. Within eighteen months, Dough Time expanded to multiple locations across Sydney, earning recognition as one of the city’s fastest-growing pizza brands. Powered by community love and a polished, strategic marketing system, Dough Time stood out with its fully halal menu, creative options like the viral “Cheeseburger Eddy” pizza, and an authentic, community-driven approach.
Now, with a successful franchise model and a loyal fanbase, Dough Time is expanding across Australia. The vision remains the same — deliver delicious, affordable pizzas that people genuinely care about.
If you have a passion for pizza, enjoy being part of a vibrant and growing brand, and want to operate a business with strong support, Dough Time could be a great fit.
