Paisano’s Pizza is a fast-casual Italian franchise specializing in pizza, pasta, subs, wings, salads, and other delivery or carryout dishes. The first Paisano’s restaurant opened in June 1998 in the Shoppes at Fair Lakes in Fairfax, Virginia. The brand is headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, and operates under the Capital Restaurant Group.
Paisano’s began offering franchise opportunities around 2009. Since then, it has grown steadily and now operates over 30 locations across the United States.
What makes Paisano’s Pizza stand out is its commitment to freshness and quality. The franchise takes pride in preparing its dough, sauces, and many menu items from scratch each day, avoiding frozen or pre-made ingredients.
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.

Paisano’s Pizza provides a limited form of territory protection to its franchisees, though it does not offer exclusive territories. Each Franchise Agreement may define a “Designated Territory,” typically based on factors like population and urban density, and described by radius, zip codes, or specific boundaries.
While the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another Paisano’s Pizza within this defined territory during the term of the agreement, this protection does not extend to all types of operations or distribution channels.
Despite the existence of a Designated Territory, franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, and brands or distribution channels controlled by the franchisor. For example, non-traditional locations like airports, schools, or ghost kitchens within the territory are not protected, and the franchisor may operate or license others in those locations.
