Napoli Pizza and Fried Chicken (Chinese: 拿坡里披薩·炸雞; pinyin: Nápōlǐ Pīsà Zhàjī) is a Taiwanese fast food restaurant chain specializing in pizza and fried chicken. It was established in 1997 and was originally part of the San Shang (三商) food service division. It is headquartered in Zhongshan District, Taipei. The brand initially operated under the name Pizza Inn Taiwan and aimed to provide high-quality, affordable pizza to consumers.[1]

History

Napoli Pizza was originally the Taiwanese branch of Pizza Inn (Chinese: 比大營披薩; pinyin: Bǐdàyíng Pīsà), a U.S.-based pizza chain. However, when the American headquarters decided to reclaim operational rights, the Taiwanese joint venture partner, Gagr Foods (佳格食品), sold the business to San Shang Enterprise (三商企業). San Shang acquired all existing locations and rebranded the chain as Napoli Pizza (拿坡里). Today, Napoli operates under San Shang Food & Beverage (三商餐飲), a subsidiary of San Shang Group (三商行).[2]

Expansion into Fried Chicken

In 2019, San Shang Food & Beverage launched Napoli Fried Chicken (Chinese: 拿坡里炸雞; pinyin: Nápōlǐ Zhàjī) as a standalone fried chicken brand.[3] By June 2023, the brand had expanded to 12 locations across Taiwan. On October 23, 2024, ahead of its stock market debut, San Shang Food & Beverage announced that Napoli Fried Chicken would be officially rebranded as San Shang Fried Chicken (三商炸雞) starting November 1, 2024.[4][5]
