He founded Gorm's Pizza, a chain of pizza restaurants, which has earned him the nickname "the Pizza King" (Danish: Pizzakongen) in the Danish media. The first Gorm's outside Copenhagen opened in Brandts Klædefabrik in Odense in May 2017. A 67% share of the company was acquired by Orkla in 2018. The opening of eight new restaurants was announced after the acquisition. In 2021, the chain's founders reacquired a controlling stake in the company.
