Saizeriya (サイゼリヤ) is a Japanese chain of family-styleItalianyōshoku restaurants, commonly abbreviated as "Saize" (サイゼ). It is managed bySaizeriya Co. (株式会社サイゼリヤ,Kabushiki-gaisha Saizeriya). Its headquarters are inYoshikawa, Saitama.[1]
Beyond Japan, the restaurant also has a presence in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, and has a factory inMelton, Victoria, Australia.
The current president of the company, Yasuhiko Shōgaki, worked at awestern restaurant inIchikawa, Chiba called Saizeriya while he was attendingTokyo University of Science. The manager at the time recognized his skill, and when Shōgaki became a senior in school, he inherited the restaurant. Italian cuisine was becoming more popular at the time, so Shōgaki converted the restaurant to Italian food - but customers stopped coming. Shōgaki then cut the prices by 70%, and the restaurant did so well that lines started to appear, and he had to open another store.[2]
In May 1973, Shōgaki established akabushiki gaisha called Maria-nu (マリアーヌ) in Ichikawa. The company then started expanding as a restaurant chain. The headquarters continued to be in Chiba prefecture. In 1987, the company changed its name to Maria-no (マリアーノ). In 1992, the company again changed its name to Saizeriya.[citation needed]
These days, the network of stores has grown considerably. As a low-price restaurant, the chain has grown to over 750 stores. There are a few forms that Saizeriya locations can take: they can be found in any number of buildings in Japan, as roadside stores, aspiloti types,[clarification needed] locations in commerce buildings and train stations, and so on. If a desirable location is found, without questioning, they will actively continue in the capital region. Because Saizeriya will open a store where a competitor has withdrawn, the form of Saizeriya stores, as well as their trademarked logo that is posted on billboards is often varied.

Starting on August 24, 2005, they started operating a fast food store called "Eat Run" (イート・ラン). As of 2008, they operate three stores: one inJūjō, Tokyo, one in Kawaguchi, and one in Aoto,Katsushika, Tokyo.
In October 2006 it was announced that Saizeriya's stores had done the best in 8 years. As of August of that year, sales were up by 3%. Customer numbers were up by 2.1%, and the average amount spent per customer had increased by 0.8%. The company was able to cover the price of increasing its stores, as well as also improving the quality of the menu and achieve better results while also increasing its base customers and amount sold.[3]
The restaurant was in the news in Japan for serving pizza withmelamine-tainted dough from China in October 2008.[4]

In August 2008, Saizeriya Co,. Ltd. started a chain of fast-food hamburger specialty shops called "Eat Run" (イートラン). There are currently six shops. In June 2003, a subsidiary was established inShanghai, and as of August 2007, fifteen stores were in operation there.[6]
By using prefabricated ingredients in the central kitchen that largely reduces procurement and processing cost, Saizeriya is able to provide Italian cuisine at a lower price.[7]
