  • South Korean pizza chain Pizza Maru has officially obtained halal certification in Singapore.
  • All three of its main outlets and one express outlet in Singapore are now listed as halal-certified by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).
  • To celebrate, Pizza Maru is offering dine-in customers 50% off all Ban Ban pizzas from June 25 to 27 and has introduced two new Ban Ban pizza varieties.

Pizza Maru, a popular South Korean pizza chain, has officially achieved halal certification across all its Singaporean outlets. This significant milestone means all three main locations and one express outlet now meet the standards set by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), making their offerings accessible to a wider Muslim customer base.

The chain, known for its diverse pizza menu including its signature Ban Ban (half-and-half) pizzas, pastas, Korean fried chicken, and snacks, has been a presence in Singapore since 2017. Its expansion into Singapore was part of a broader international growth strategy that began with its founding in South Korea in 2006, where it has become the largest Korean pizza chain.

To commemorate this achievement, Pizza Maru is rolling out special promotions and new menu items. From June 25 to 27, dine-in customers can enjoy a 50% discount on all Ban Ban pizzas. Additionally, the chain has introduced two new Ban Ban pizza options: the Hawaiian Margherita Ban Ban Pizza with a sweet potato mousse-stuffed crust, and the Pepperoni Oppa Ban Ban Pizza featuring a cheesy crust. These additions aim to further engage customers and celebrate the new halal status.

All Pizza Maru outlets in Singapore are now officially halal-certified.
