Anisa Khan is a British‑Bangladeshi entrepreneur based in London. An LSE graduate, she studied Economic Development before launching a career in corporate consulting at Accenture. During the COVID‑19 pandemic, she took a leap of faith, founding Bombay Pizza, an Indian–Italian fusion pizza brand born out of a dark kitchen based in Wallington, Sutton. Her menu features bold creations like Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, Khan’s Keema Special, and Vegan Bombay Brinjal, blending cultural authenticity with inventive flavour profiles
Born out of a love for bold flavours and a desire to bridge cultures, Bombay Pizza is a fusion food concept that reimagines classic Italian pizza through the vibrant lens of Indian cuisine.
Founded by Anisa Khan, a London-based entrepreneur and national Kabaddi player, Bombay Pizza started during lockdown as a small “dark kitchen” experiment. What began with a few tikka-topped slices turned into a food revolution, introducing the UK to a new take on comfort food, rooted in heritage and crafted with care.
How I did it
Growing up in South London with a typical British-Bangladeshi immigrant upbringing, I was surrounded by the vibrant flavours of food from my family’s Indian-Bangladeshi restaurant. This environment sparked my passion for creativity and entrepreneurship from a young age.
Hard work has always been at the heart of who I am. I achieved 12 A*s at GCSE and 3 As at A-Level before studying Politics and Economics at LSE. These achievements taught me discipline, focus, and the value of striving for excellence – qualities that I bring to every challenge.
I spent a year living in Japan teaching English, an experience that pushed me to adapt, connect, and grow in a completely new environment. Before that, I worked in the corporate world, where I developed skills in strategy and business that continue to guide me today. Together, those experiences shaped how I approach challenges; with resilience, curiosity, and a global outlook.
Anisa founded Bombay Pizza with a vision to do things differently; bringing the bold flavours of her South Asian heritage into the world of pizza. What began as her idea has grown into a movement, now served through dark kitchens across South London. For Anisa, it’s always been about more than food; it’s about making choices that stand out
I was here to win Lord Sugar’s investment and demonstrate that with vision, strategy, and determination, I can create a powerhouse business. My journey reflects ambition, resilience, and a commitment to achieving greatness.
