He said the pizza idea came about after running for student representative council (SRC) president for Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and lost.
Something good after the failure
After he lost, he felt there was nothing else to do with the available time and decided to think of possible things he could do and that was when the idea to start a pizza business was birthed.
Nana narrated that he along with his good friend who is now his business partner got a second-hand oven from Adum, Kumasi and started making pizza in their hostel room.
He sold the pizza as slides at the beginning stages, he said.
SRC influence
His SRC influence landed him contracts to serve item 13 whenever there were programs on campus.
The business began to flourish and they eventually moved from their hostel room to a bigger place where they began selling full boxes of the pizza instead of the slides.
Nana Boakye mentioned that the vision of his business is to become the first local food brand from Ghana to spread across the rest of Africa.
