Pizza Time

About Pizza Time

Pizza Time was opened some ten years ago by brothers who had worked at their local pizza takeaway venue for several years. During this time, they got to know the business and the community and decided to start their own venture, serving the pizza the way they thought best.

The brothers believe that the only way to produce good food is with the best quality and freshest ingredients. With that as their core value, they began to work with several chefs to create the ideal dough and pizza recipes. The result was a range of 25 different pizzas and the company continues to innovate.

All the dough is freshly made and hand-stretched daily, and each pizza is handmade, so nothing comes out of a machine or freezer. All the topping ingredients are fresh and locally sourced where possible. The tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese are the best quality. 

Over the years, the pizza franchise has built a loyal client base and franchises have begun to open in multiple locations. The company is actively seeking new franchisees in key locations in order to grow the business and the brand further.

The services offered by Pizza Time

As the name would suggest, the core product of this franchise business is pizza which can either be collected or delivered. The range of 25 options aims to cater for every taste. The menu even offers sweet pizzas topped with marshmallow or chocolate.

However, they also offer a range of side dishes and alternatives such as BBQ chicken wings, nachos, jacket potatoes, potato wedges, hot dog dough balls, garlic bread, breaded mozzarella sticks, and a range of dips and sauces. There are also dessert options other than the sweet pizzas on offer such as ice cream, cake, and cookies.

How does a Pizza Time franchise work?

Pizza Time franchisees are treated by the company as partners. As such they have access to tried and tested product, an established customer base and brand, and a proven business model. This removes a great deal of stress and some financial risk from starting a franchise.

Franchisees can either open a Pizza Time in a new location or take on and remodel an existing pizza business and venue. In either scenario, franchisees will have a turnkey business and can count on assistance from the company to launch their new venture.
