Pizza Inn

Owning Your Own Business is Easier With Pizza Inn

Pizza Inn opened its first restaurant in 1958, when pizza was considered a novelty food. Today, pizza is a $30 billion dollar business.

Pizza Inn has always had a great product, and now we are re-energizing our efforts to strengthen the brand best known for its made-from-scratch pizzas.

Now more than ever, Pizza Inn is all about quality: quality products, quality service and quality franchisees.


Our Mission

To serve our neighbors great tasting, fresh made pizza, each and every day.

We are brightening up our brand image with a new, energized design. Our business model has been updated to ensure our brand in South Carolina delivers the same high quality customer experience as it does in Texas. If you are up to the challenges of being a Pizza Inn franchise, we will work together to create a brand we can all be proud of.

As a Pizza Inn franchisee you have the choice of three different store concepts:

BUFFET RESTAURANT – Minimum Liquid Capital Required $150,000

The Pizza Inn Buffet restaurants range in size from 3,000-5,000 square feet, and feature a back fed buffet bar. Many locations may include a party room and game room. All locations will feature décor that highlights our 50-year heritage. This restaurant provides a family-style atmosphere offering dine-in, carry-out, and delivery service. Our restaurants offer continuous buffet service featuring our full menu of pizzas, pasta, salads, appetizers, desserts, and beverages. This restaurant can be located in retail strip centers or constructed as a freestanding building.

DELIVERY/ CARRYOUT RESTAURANT – Minimum Liquid Capital Required $80,000

A Pizza Inn delivery/carry-out concept (Delco) is ideal for the carry-out and delivery demands of today's customer. Like the buffet restaurant, a Delco carries a full menu of pizzas, pasta, salads, appetizers, desserts and beverages. It also compliments a market area that features our buffet restaurant. These restaurants are typically located in retail strip centers adjacent to sufficiently populated area to ensure a strong delivery base. These units typically range in size from 900-1200 square feet. Good visibility and high traffic counts are important elements of a successful Delco.

EXPRESS RESTAURANT - Minimum Liquid Capital Required $30,000

Pizza Inn Express is ideal for high traffic sites with "customers-on-the-go". This "mini" version of the Pizza Inn operation offers a limited menu centered on Pizza Inn's pizzas along with several appetizers, all made with the same quality ingredients found throughout our chain. Advantages include a low initial investment, minimal space (only 200-400 square feet) and a simplified menu for lower operating and labor cost. This non-traditional restaurant is great for convenience stores, airports, hotels, travel plazas, college dining halls and other high-traffic locations.

At Pizza Inn, our success begins with yours. From professional site selection and construction assistance, through comprehensive training at our Dallas corporate location, you will have 50 years of experience both behind you, and by your side, as you build your business and beyond.

Below is a summary of the support you will receive from all levels of the Pizza Inn management team:

• Pre-Opening training both at our facility in Dallas, and at the restaurant
• On-going business consulting
• Marketing support using print, TV and radio advertising
• Marketing services support to customize and coordinate local programs
• Weekly deliveries from Norco services for Equipment, food products and supplies

We are looking for financially qualified franchisees that are interested in working hard to build a brand, are committed to quality, systems oriented, a team player, and committed to operating under a license agreement. If you think you might be right for Pizza Inn, we'd like to hear from you!
