Extreme Pizza is a fast-fresh pizza franchise built on bold flavors and creative ingredients. Founded in 1994 in San Francisco, California by Todd Parent and Michael Pastor, the brand has grown from a local eatery into a full-service franchising concept.
Its corporate operations are headquartered in California, with its franchising arm formally launched in 2000 to expand across the United States.
The Extreme Pizza menu features gourmet signature pizzas, vegan and gluten-free options, cauliflower crusts, freestyle toppings, along with subs, calzones, salads, wings, starters, and desserts.
Extreme Pizza sets itself apart with its commitment to bold, unconventional flavor combinations, quality ingredients, and menu diversity that includes specialty crusts and dietary-friendly options.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Extreme Pizza provides a comprehensive training program to ensure franchisees and their managers are fully prepared to operate a successful restaurant. Here are the primary components of their training:
Extreme Pizza grants franchisees a limited territory within which their restaurant operates, but this territory is not exclusive. The franchisor does not promise any exclusive rights to a geographic area, meaning another franchise or company-owned restaurant could potentially be opened nearby.
Franchisees must operate only from their approved location and do not receive rights to any broader territory beyond that. While there is no formal territorial protection, Extreme Pizza does manage brand exposure and advertising through centralized systems.
Franchisees participate in national, regional, and local advertising funds, but these efforts are not guaranteed to be focused specifically in their area. This approach allows for wide brand reach but may result in overlapping marketing exposure among multiple locations.
