Yellow Cab Pizza Company is a Filipino chain that retails fast food, primarily pizza. In 2001, Yellow Cab Pizza Company was founded by Eric Puno, Henry Lee, and Albert Tan. Max's Group, owner of restaurant chain Max's of Manila, owns the brand. The restaurant also operates 145 branches in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and China.
The first branch of Yellow Cab Pizza Co. opened along Makati Avenue in April 2001. Because of having "yellow cab" in its name, many thought of the company as a taxi business, but the name is actually a reference to the way it frequently uses the colors black and yellow, a pattern seen on taxicabs. The company's delivery service uses Vespa scooters.
In addition, Yellow Cab operates a sister restaurant called Army Navy Burger Burrito.
In November 2016, Max's Group Inc. (MGI), owner of the Yellow Cab Pizza brand, signed a development agreement deal with the Qatar-based franchise operator Silver Group to open 22 stores in Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman over the coming five years, beginning in January 2017 The agreement is the seventh overseas franchise contract signed by MGI in 2016.
In January 2017, the first Yellow Cab Pizza restaurant opened in the USA. The restaurant, with an address of 801 Dillingham Boulevard, is located in a small strip center that's part of the Costco Iwilei parking lot, and is next to a Max's Restaurant.
In February 2017, MGI signed a development agreement with the Blue Star Food Corporation in Vietnam to establish at least 12 Yellow Cab stores around the country.
Yellow Cab Pizza Co. sponsors a team that participates in auto racing. Members of the team include actor Ryan Agoncillo and Alex Perez, who has won three racing titles. One of the chain's founders, Eric Puno, is a fanatic of racing.
