Squisito Pizza & Pasta - Franchise

About Us

Like most success stories, Squisito Pizza and Pasta’s story began in a very humble place–an outdoor dining table in the heart of Southern Italy. It was here that two brothers fused their years of experience with their love of Italian cuisine and defined the Italian fast-casual restaurant model in the US. Inspiration and dedication, combined with authentic Italian dishes and a commitment to the best and freshest ingredients, has resulted in a product that is perfectly Squisito.

Combining the flavors of Italy with authentic NY Style Pizza, Squisito Pizza and Pasta brings the best of two worlds to the same kitchen. We pride ourselves in both offering the highest quality of food and providing a warm, welcoming environment to all. Squisito franchises stand out by bringing high quality Italian cuisine to their neighborhood kitchen table.

Our commitment to quality and family has created a unique franchise opportunity that is both profitable and a joy to own. We are excited that you have decided to investigate the possibility of bringing a Squisito Pizza and Pasta to your community, and we hope that you will gain an appreciation for what sets us apart in the Italian, fast-casual restaurant space. Take the next steps and Join The Family today!

Why We Are The Best

Squisito Pizza and Pasta was born when our executive restaurateurs and developers set out to create a fast casual Italian concept that exceeded its competitors in both cuisine and atmosphere.

Squisito® has over 25 years of experience in successfully serving up classic, Italian dishes made with the freshest, Italian ingredients.
