Franchising

October 17, 2025
&pizza has inked a deal to bring 12 locations to Orlando, Atlanta, Charleston and Raleigh, according to a press release.
&pizza's growth plans are aggressive, with a target goal of increasing its unit count to 300 by 2030. The concept's franchising strategy will include selling its existing corporate-owned locations as well as engaging operators and entrepreneurs that are looking to build their own portfolios and help the brand break into new and exciting markets outside of the East Coast where &pizza has been building over the last 13 years.
"We're full steam ahead on franchising and the conversations we're having, especially with operators that see the potential for growth with &pizza, are nothing short of inspirational," Mike Burns, CEO of &pizza, said in the release. "This isn't a hastily forced effort either — we're doing our diligence, diving deep into data and analytics to identify the right markets where the brand can flourish, and more importantly, are ensuring we align with the right operators that reflect and share our brand values, our mission, and what we stand for. The partners we're bringing on board and the cities they'll be developing are exactly what we're looking for. We're ready to scale and looking forward to bringing Orlando, Atlanta, Charleston and Raleigh online this coming summer."
&pizza was founded in 2012 and has locations across the East Coast.
