How Paid Ads Packed Out Detroit Pizza’s New Location
When Detroit Pizza London opened its second location, we partnered with them to craft a paid advertising campaign that built buzz, drove footfall, and put their signature square pizzas firmly on the map.
Detroit Pizza London, renowned for its authentic American-Italian Detroit-style square pizzas, has made a significant mark in London’s food scene.
Following the success of its first outlet, the restaurant aimed to broaden its presence.
When Detroit Pizza London decided to open their second location, they teamed up with us at Lala Comms to spread the word and draw in the crowds. Our mission was simple: get people excited and through the doors of the new spot. Here’s a closer look at how we tackled this project, focusing on the outcomes and creativity that went into our paid ads campaign.

Strategy
To meet these objectives, we crafted a multi-faceted advertising strategy leveraging Meta’s robust targeting capabilities. The campaign was structured around three core pillars: Traffic, Engagement, and Awareness, each designed to capture different facets of the customer journey from discovery to action.
Traffic Campaigns: Aimed at driving potential customers to Detroit Pizza London’s website, offering a direct path for users to explore the menu, location, and unique value proposition of the new outlet.
Engagement Campaigns: Focused on stimulating interactions with the brand’s content, fostering a community of engaged pizza enthusiasts and potential patrons.
Awareness Campaigns: Designed to introduce and solidify Detroit Pizza London’s brand presence within the target market, especially focusing on the unique appeal of Detroit-style pizza.
Campaign Highlights
Exceptional Cost-Efficiency: Achieved a remarkably low average cost per click (CPC) of 0.06p across campaigns, with the traffic campaign even lower at 0.03p CPC. This efficiency is notably above industry standards, indicating a highly optimised spend.
Outstanding Engagement: The traffic ads boasted an impressive 11.10% click-through rate (CTR), vastly outperforming industry averages and signifying strong audience interest. Engagement and awareness campaigns, while having lower CTRs, successfully met their respective objectives beyond mere clicks.
Cost-Effective Engagement: With a cost per engagement of just 0.004p in the engagement campaign, the campaign was 75% more cost-effective than the industry average.
Competitive CPM Rates: Maintained an average cost per 1000 impressions (CPM) of £1.45, showcasing the campaign’s ability to reach a large audience at a low cost. The engagement campaign’s CPM was even more economical at £0.75.
