Pizza Hut Jamaica, operated by quick service restaurant leader Restaurants of Jamaica (ROJ), has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the Jamaican market as it prepares to open its newest location in Cumberland, Portmore. The move represents a $180 million investment by ROJ, with the new restaurant scheduled to come on stream by March of this year. Pizza Hut Jamaica has also outlined plans for continued expansion both within and beyond the Kingston Metropolitan Area.

The new Cumberland restaurant will be the 16th Pizza Hut location in Jamaica and the 11th outside of Kingston and St. Andrew. This latest investment reflects the brand’s focus on modern, customer-focused dining experiences, bringing new jobs, enhanced convenience, and an upgraded Pizza Hut offering to residents of Portmore. Once opened, the location will become Pizza Hut’s second restaurant in Portmore, complementing its existing Braeton outlet, and its third location in the parish of St Catherine.

“At Pizza Hut Jamaica, we remain confident in the strength and potential of the Jamaican market,” said Mark Myers, Managing Director of Restaurants of Jamaica. “Our focus remains on growth, job creation, and delivering even greater taste, value, and convenience to our customers across the island.”

Beyond Portmore, Pizza Hut Jamaica confirmed that additional restaurant openings are planned within Kingston as well as in key growth areas outside the capital, forming part of a broader, multi-year expansion strategy. These investments reflect strong customer demand, continued brand momentum, and the company’s confidence in Jamaica’s economic trajectory.

“Our expansion strategy is about meeting customers where they are, in their communities and closer to their homes, schools, and workplaces,” Myers added. “We are building a future-forward Pizza Hut in Jamaica, one that is more accessible, more digital, and more connected to the communities we serve, while continuing to deliver the world’s best tasting pizzas and, of course, ‘feeding good times’, which is our brand’s global mandate.”

Pizza Hut Jamaica continues to invest in people development, communities, technology, and infrastructure, reinforcing its position as the leading pizza brand in Jamaica and a major contributor to the local economy.
