About Us
25 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
Founded in 1999, Colosseum Doha was established with a singular vision: to bring the soul of Italy’s culinary heritage to life through authentic production methods and a commitment to traditional excellence. For over two decades, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to researching, crafting, and evolving, with the unwavering goal of faithfully reproducing the timeless flavors, artisanal quality, and cultural richness that define Italian gastronomy.
At the heart of our mission lies a bold yet simple principle: to be the artisan of food for the masses. We are a modern food company with the spirit and precision of an artisan kitchen. Our production processes are meticulously designed to meet the demands of the market in volume, without compromising the meticulous care and attention a chef would devote to crafting each product individually. This unique approach allows us to merge industrial scalability with artisanal integrity, ensuring that every item is made with carefully selected ingredients, culinary expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
Moreover, our structure is inherently flexible. We take pride in our ability to adapt to specific customer preferences, offering customized flavors and tailored product solutions to meet diverse palates and market demands. This dedication to personalized quality sets us apart in an increasingly homogenized food industry.
Our unwavering pursuit of excellence is made possible by the people behind Colosseum. Many of our team members have been with us for more than a decade, and their dedication, loyalty, and professionalism form the bedrock of our success. It is this deeply rooted culture of passion and pride that sustains the spirit of Colosseum and fuels our continuous growth.
Today, Colosseum Doha continues to evolve and diversify, expanding its range of both in-house crafted products and carefully selected imported goods.
Our own production lines include:
• Al Forno: Hand-rolled and stone-baked frozen pizzas, delivering an authentic pizzeria experience from oven to table.
• Dolce D’Oro: Traditional Italian gelato and sherbets, crafted with precision and heart, reminiscent of classic Italian gelaterie.
• Pasta Roma: Fresh, handmade pasta made with the finest semolina and passion for true Italian tradition.
Alongside our own brands, we import a curated selection of premium, historically rooted Italian products from acclaimed producers such as Granarolo, Costa D’Oro, Riso Scotti, Gioiella, and D’Amico each testament to the excellence and legacy of Italy’s food partisanship.
At Colosseum, we believe that quality and flavor must never be compromised. Regardless of the product category, be it pizza, gelato, pasta, cheese, or oils we maintain a steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional taste through careful ingredient selection, strict hygiene standards, and rigorous production protocols.
Our relentless focus on quality was reinforced in 2001, when we were selected to supply gelato to the U.S. forces stationed in Iraq. This milestone marked a pivotal point in our journey, as it required us to obtain HACCP certification and implement strict quality control systems. Since then, we have embraced continuous improvement as a core philosophy, with regular audits by local authorities and multinational partners shaping our path toward further certifications and greater operational excellence.
Ultimately, Colosseum Doha stands as a symbol of what is possible when tradition, innovation, and dedication converge. We remain deeply rooted in our mission: to share the finest of Italian culinary culture with the world, one artisan quality product at a time.
