Pizza Schmizza Franchise

Pizza Schmizza Franchise

Our goal is to be engaging, progressive, clever, irreverent and real. Don’t get us wrong, we like to make pizza and the other kind of dough, but we are different!

Pizza Schmizza Franchise OpportunitiesPizza Schmizza serves a New York style pizza with a thin hand-tossed crust and large, foldable slices, though their use of non-traditional toppings and sauces are suggestive of California-style pizza. In addition to more conventional offerings such as cheese and pepperoni, Pizza Schmizza offers a wide range of specialty pizzas including «sweet ‘n sour» (chicken with red peppers, pineapple, and sesame seeds), «Rustic Pie» (potatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, broccoli, and feta), and house specialty Alligator Pie (alligator sausage, red peppers, onions, tomatoes, feta, and spaghetti noodles).
Pizza is generally sold by the slice, though full pizzas can be ordered for take-out at most locations. Pizza Schmizza offers delivery service, but usually only for orders totaling over $50. Pizza Schmizza is distinguished for its unconventional advertising methods, including pizza coupons disguised as parking tickets and faux political advertisements with the slogan «Elect Schmizza for dinner.»

Company History

Andre Jehan co-founded Schmizza with his wife, Carla Jehan, in 1993, partly to establish a fun business for them, and partly due to the sad, lack of authentic New York-style pizza on the west coast at that time. Jehan’s father disparaged the plan with a scornful «Pizza schmizza–get a real job,» and the name stuck. His father, by the way, now semi-retired, holds the unofficial title of planet’s oldest delivery driver.
