Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub is the flagship full-service pizzeria brand of Noble Roman’s, Inc., known for scratch-made crusts, hand-crafted artisanal pizzas, and a curated selection of craft beer and wine.
The company was founded in 1972 in Bloomington, Indiana, and is now headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. It operates dine-in, carryout, curbside, and catering services, with about a dozen company-owned and franchised locations across Indiana.
The franchising model began in the early 1970s under the Noble Roman’s Pizza brand, but the Craft Pizza & Pub concept has expanded more recently through a mix of corporate and franchise development.
The concept blends traditional pizza service with a modern pub atmosphere, featuring high-speed bake ovens that cook thin-crust pizzas in 2–3 minutes and Sicilian crusts in around 6 minutes.
Noble Roman’s stands out by combining fast-casual pizza service with a full pub environment and by expanding into both traditional and nontraditional locations.
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.
Noble Roman’s provides a structured training program to ensure its franchisees are fully prepared to operate their franchised units. The training includes both classroom and on-the-job components, delivered primarily at the franchisee's location. Below are the key components of the training:
Noble Roman’s does not grant its franchisees any form of protected territorial rights. Franchisees are only authorized to operate the franchised business from the specific location approved in their agreement.
While delivery services may be permitted within a defined area, the agreement does not restrict the franchisor from establishing additional locations or selling products within the same market.
This lack of territorial exclusivity means that franchisees might face direct competition from other Noble Roman’s outlets, including those owned by the franchisor. The franchisee is also not granted the right to operate or sell from any location beyond the designated one without prior written approval.
