Telepizza counter

I was looking at the country specific menus and in Poland they have kielbasa. However, kielbasa in Polish just means “sausage”, not the standard ring found in the US. So that could mean anything.

Spain seems to have a good many pizzas with bacon, including a bacon cheeseburger pizza. Chile offers garlic fries and empanadas (though they look like McDonald’s apple pies).

Portugal … well I don’t read enough Portuguese to figure it out … but they do have Funky chicken pizza (is that a good thing?) and Funny bacon (again, good thing?). There is also stromboli.

Some countries such as Spain and Portugal offer full menus.

 

After those main countries, to me it is a little unclear where else they might be. There’s a similar name, but with a space, in Europe – Tele Pizza. However, the colors and logos are different, so it may be another company.

 

This article about some of the shops closing in 2002, seems to indicate they might have a presence in other European countries.

This link has an interesting history of the company and some other possible locations such as Mexico.

Wiki states they are in United Arab Emirates and bought Jeno’s in Columbia in 2010.

It turns they did open in Dubai, but nothing country-specific there. It seems they might be catering to the English-speaking crowd from their dessert offerings which include raspberry crème brulee, caramel apple granny bars and rockslide brownies

They seem to be planning a joint venture in China

It is just odd to me that the company doesn’t seem to acknowledge many of its world-wide locations.
