What a journey ✨Proud to be a finalist on this year’s The Apprentice! Congratulations to @deanfranklin__ on securing the investment and becoming @lord_sugar new business partner 👏🏽 Getting to the final was no small feat—I worked incredibly hard every single week, and I’m proud of everything I put into this process. From the boardroom to the kitchen, I gave it my all to bring my vision to life and show that South Asian fusion pizza has a place on tables across the UK. Thank you to The Apprentice for giving me the platform to share my business with the nation. Since the show, demand has soared. I’ve already launched Bombay Pizza By Post—delivering our pizzas across the UK—and I’m now working on opening my second location in the next few months. I was never fired—just fuelled. This is just the beginning. #BombayPizza #TheApprentice #Entrepreneurship #Pizza #Finalist #2025 #LordSugar #BBC #apprentice

Last week, our little pizza joint got a 5-star review… and everything changed 🍕 We’ve had 3-HOUR wait times. We’ve been absolutely slammed. And I know the service hasn’t been the best— I’m so sorry for that 🥺 We’ve already invested in new equipment and hired more staff, but scaling takes time. Thank you for your patience, your support, and your wild love for Bombay pizza. Can’t wait for you to try it. We’re just getting started 💪🏽 #BombayPizza #5Star #anisa #pizza #foodie #theapprentice

Hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ This is my journey to being on the BBC’s Apprentice! I’m a British-Bangladeshi entrepreneur chasing her dreams, ready to learn, grown and take on this big challenge! I would love to build a little community here so please comment or DM me about your dreams! #theapprentice #bangladeshi #introduction #anisakhan #BombayPizza #entreprenuer #theapprenticeuk

If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. Start small, stay consistent, and watch it all come together. ✨ Here is a slice of my journey 🍕 #BombayPizza #Fusion #UKFoodie #HemelHempstead #Wallington

A year ago I got a call backstage at The Apprentice: You’re Hired. That was the moment I found out I didn’t win the £250,000 investment. I have never cried so hard in my entire adult life. My world ended when it happened to me. This past year this song has been on repeat for me. I was so upset but I used it as my catalyst to work as hard as I possibly could towards my goals. Everything Anisa on that show wanted to achieve, I was going to achieve it anyway. A year later, 11 locations, £1M+ revenue, and pizzas shipping nationwide. Every single goal. Done. And to the Anisa who cried on that phone call, I hope you’re proud. We got there. ❤️ None of this would have been possible without every single one of you. The support since the show has been something I could never have imagined and I am so genuinely grateful for every follow, every order for @bombaypizza , every message. You gave me a reason to keep going. If this teaches you anything, life doesn’t always go the way you plan. People will say no. Things will fall apart. But if you work hard enough, you can achieve everything you set your mind to. This is just the beginning 🍕 #theapprentice #bbc #bombaypizza #lordsugar #anisa

I am genuinely so sorry I underestimated you, Hemel Hempstead 😩 We opened our brand new site there last Friday. I told my franchisees it’s not going to be that busy. All the marketing I did was post a TikTok the day before and these things take time. We prepared enough stock to last the whole weekend. We opened. The orders came flying in. Within four hours we had completely sold out 😭 I’m usually on launch day just supervising but I was on the phones, I was making pizzas, I was doing deliveries. It was absolutely manic 😅 And I do want to say sorry to anyone who had to wait. We just had no idea. No idea at all. We sold hundreds of pizzas. Hundreds. That is still not real to me 🤯 This is the biggest launch in Bombay Pizza history. And the thing is, this was only supposed to be a delivery kitchen. We decided last minute to open up collection even though the front wasn’t fully ready yet. And so many of you just came. You showed up 🥹 I have 10 locations in London. Nothing prepared me for location 11. Hemel Hempstead, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You didn’t have to choose us. You’re a new area, we’re a new face, and you just welcomed us in. It means everything. We will not be underestimating you again 🌶️ #Bombaypizza #pizza #hemelhempstead #hemel #theapprentice

I can’t believe it’s been a year since my Apprentice interview! @mike_soutar walked into our restaurant, surprised my staff and ordered a pizza from @bombaypizza . He gave us a 5 star review on BBC national TV and the next day we had queues at the door ❤️ This sparked the series of events leading to us now having 11 locations 🍕I’m super grateful for this moment. None of this happens without my incredible team who smashed it that day without even knowing the cameras were there. Good luck to all the candidates tonight 🙌 #TheApprentice #BombayPizza #Entrepreneur #interviews #womeninbusiness

This time last year I had 1 location. Now I’m opening my 11th 🍕✨ You’ve been asking us to come outside of London for so long and we finally listened. We didn’t go too far though… 📍 Bombay Pizza is officially launching in Hemel Hempstead THIS Friday 10th April at 5pm 🎉 We’re bringing all your fan favourites. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chilli Paneer and all the South Asian fusion flavours you love. And for the classics lovers, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered too 🌶️ To celebrate, our customers get a special launch discount so if you’ve been waiting to try us, this is your sign 👀 We’re launching as a delivery kitchen first, with collection available very shortly after. Watch this space 🙌 Friday. 5pm. Hemel Hempstead. Link in bio 👆 #BombayPizza #Pizza #HemelHempstead #Hemel #TheApprentice​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I remember going to the wholesalers to buy flour and cheese, and a South Asian man asked me where my husband was. I said I run the business. He told me women shouldn’t be running businesses and I should get married so my husband can do the shopping. Now I run a 7 figure brand. still at the beginning 🤍 #womeninbusiness #southasian #entrepreneur #Lehenga #theapprentice

The messages don’t stop asking me to open near them. So I listened. I built Bombay Pizza from scratch and the love we get every single day still blows my mind. People DMing me from East London, Manchester, everywhere, begging us to come to their city. So we are. Bombay Pizza is officially open to franchising and your city could be next. This is everything I’ve worked for and I want the right people building it with me. If you’ve been waiting for Bombay Pizza to come to you, this is your sign. 👇 📩 [email protected] #BombayPizza #Franchise #Pizza #TheApprentice #UKFranchise

From 1 location to 11 in just a year… 🤯 There were moments I didn’t think we’d even make it this far, but we kept going. Now we’re about to open our 11th spot 👀 And the craziest part? We’re still at the very beginning stages… If you’ve been supporting @bombaypizza just know this is only the beginning ❤️ Comment where you think we’re opening next ⬇️ #BombayPizza #Anisa #theapprentice #womeninbusiness #Entrepreneur

27 has been a wild year for me. Building a life I once dreamed of, and I am only just getting started. I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me, and truly thankful to every single person who has ever bought a pizza and my team! Alhamdulillah for everything 🤍 #BombayPizza #TheApprentice #Anisa #Entrepreneur #WomenInBusiness
