Pizza Delight is a popular Canadian restaurant chain. It is well-known for its tasty pizza, pasta, and salads. The first Pizza Delight opened in 1968 in Shediac, New Brunswick. It was started by two friends, Léandre Bourque and Allard Robichaud.
A year later, Bernard Imbeault and two of his friends bought the company. The main office for Pizza Delight is now in Moncton, New Brunswick. You can find over 70 Pizza Delight restaurants across Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. Almost half of these restaurants are in New Brunswick.

Growing Bigger: Pizza Delight's Journey
In the year 2000, Pizza Delight decided to grow even bigger. They bought another restaurant chain called Mikes. Mikes was very popular in Quebec and Ontario. This purchase helped Pizza Delight become a larger company.
More Restaurants Join the Family
Pizza Delight continued to expand by adding more restaurants. In 2005, they bought Scores. Then, in 2006, they added Bâton Rouge to their group. Because they owned so many different restaurants, the company changed its name in 2006 to Imvescor. This new name showed that they were now a bigger group of restaurant brands.
At its busiest time, Imvescor owned and managed over 350 restaurants across Canada. These restaurants operated under four main names:
- 95 Pizza Delights
- 94 Mikes Restaurants
- 28 Bâton Rouge Restaurants
- 40 Scores Restaurants
Becoming Part of MTY Food Group
In December 2017, a very large company called MTY Food Group bought Imvescor. This included Pizza Delight and all the other restaurant chains Imvescor owned. MTY Food Group is a big company that owns many different restaurant brands.
