A Pizza Hut franchise in Leicester has officially entered administration, despite opening as recently as 2023. The franchise, operating under the company name Dynamic Pizza 2 Ltd, appointed administrators on June 26, 2026, with the case publicly listed on July 6, 2026. The insolvency is being processed through the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts in Leeds.
Company Details and Director Information
The business, located on London Road, Leicester, is classified as a takeaway food shop and mobile food stand. Public records show that Abdul Qadeer Awan is the primary director and Person with Significant Control (PSC), holding a shareholding and voting rights stake of 75% or more.
Financial Triggers and Industry Context
The exact cause of the administration has not been disclosed, but regulatory filings indicate that Dynamic Pizza 2 Ltd missed its statutory deadline to file micro-entity accounts for the period ending August 31, 2025. These accounts were due by May 31, 2026, less than a month before the company collapsed. Missing such deadlines is often a sign of severe cash flow problems or insolvency.
The collapse comes amid a turbulent period for the UK pizza and fast-food sector. In June 2026, Millennium Dough Company, a major wholesale pizza dough manufacturer, also entered administration with millions in debt, highlighting margin pressures from high ingredient and energy costs.
Pizza Hut Franchise Model and Previous Closures
Under Pizza Hut's franchise model, the parent brand remains solvent while individual franchisees face financial difficulties. In October 2025, DC London Pie Limited, the core franchisee operating Pizza Hut's UK dine-in restaurants, appointed FTI Consulting as administrators, resulting in the closure of 68 dine-in restaurants and 11 delivery outlets, with 1,210 redundancies across the UK.
Pizza Hut has been contacted for comment regarding the Leicester franchise's administration.
