Pizza Franchises Packed with Competition, Continuing to Grow

Written on May 8th, 2008 by Joseph in Franchising Developments.

Ask anyone about their favorite takeaway food, the majority will answer in a united voice “Pizza!” Though primarily an Italian cuisine, the food has become more American than Italian today. The field of pizza franchising is one of the leading franchise businesses of today’s time, with more than $30 billion being generated by selling pizzas in the recent years. Moreover, the industry has been forced to go through a major revamp of late, as the growing number of diet conscious people and rising gas and product prices had slowed down the growth-rate of the industry sometimes back. However, the introduction of healthier preparation methods and usage of toppings that are packed with nutrients and less fat have boosted the market prospects again. Along with takeaway, the frozen pizza market worth nearly $3 billion is also experiencing a major boom. The trend of eating out is growing with each passing day and to capitalize on it, many pizza chains are offering QSR services along with their takeaway services nowadays.

That, in turn, has opened up the market in a new way, resulting in more people looking forward to buy a franchise from this category. So, let’s look into some franchise opportunities that are enjoying a great demand for their franchise business for sale offers:

• Garlic Jim’s Famous Gourmet Pizza offers gourmet pizzas delivered as quickly as the big chains. There’s no sacrifice of taste over quality, though, as the company focuses on quality dough, sauce and cheese.
• Figaro’s Pizza is seeing rapid progress, thanks to its “flavors that sing”. The concept offers the freshest possible ingredients to lure in the family crowd. As a franchisee, you can offer takeaway, take-home-and-bake, and if possible, in-house dining options.
• Nicolo’s Pizza is for those people who hate the taste of the run-of-the-mill pizzas and demand something exclusive. The mouth-watering pizzas from this pizzeria are cooked in the style of Southern Italy and contain authentic sun-dried tomatoes and imported pecorino. As a franchisor, the company offers two options – dine & take-away and carry & delivery units for people interested in starting a franchise with it.
• Papa Romano’s is a veteran in the industry who uses only fresh-cut vegetables and hand-mixed and tossed dough to prepare each of its delicious pizza. The franchisor provides people who buy a franchise from this brand with pre-approved properties and free-of-cost initial training.
• Pandini’s has enthralled hordes of pizza lovers by combining the Old World with the New World! You will find such innovative pizzas like Thai Pizza or Mauri Barbeque here! The franchisor also conducts three weeks of in-class training and hands-on training for its franchisees.
