Challenges

Transform an outdated visual identity into a modern, unified brand across 50+ restaurants, keeping familiarity while integrating multiple zones — trattoria, pub, café, kids’ area — under one concept.

Solutions

We turned Andy’s into a “city” — lively, diverse, and inclusive. Visual identity was inspired by newspapers: bold fonts, yellow highlights, black & white layouts. The interior became a town square with thematic stalls for food, desserts, and souvenirs. Custom decor like house-shaped spice holders and mailboxes added playfulness and engagement.

Name:   In order to integrate everything together and to keep brand awareness we suggested to maintain the word “Andy’s” and to exclude the word “Pizza”.

Preconditions: The first Andy’s Pizza was opened in the year 1999 and served pizza and beer mostly. In future years, the amount of new restaurants increased together with a variety of dishes served. In a while, some new sub-brands were born under the Andy’s Pizza trademark: Ciao-Cacao for self-made ice-cream and cookies, Alb&Rosu for wine, and Andy’s Pizza Club loyalty program. A few separate zones were formed within each restaurant: trattoria (family zone), pub (sport events and beer), cafe (Ciao-Cacao desserts), and a playground for kids.

Interior  Design

In order to follow the town concept we decided to use exterior finishes and attributes within interior: paving stone, rough wood, clambering plants, street signs, and light. We aimed to organize main space as if it was a central square in a small town. Sales areas symbolically show street stalls and counters that face the square. They look similar, but offer different products – there is a bar counter for beer and drinks, pizza counter that shows pizza manufacturing process, ice-cream stall, pastry, fruit and souvenir zones.

Prospective: In a row with already implemented innovations, there are few more, which are waiting for their own implementation down the line. It is the organization of a store area in each restaurant to sell wine, pasta, jams, fruits, cookies and souvenirs.
