Pizza Schmizza is a fast-casual pizza franchise known for its bold personality and creative menu. It was founded in 1993, in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon, by brothers André and Roger Jehan under Schmizza International, Inc. The company is now headquartered in Salem, Oregon.
The franchise began expanding in the early 2000s, with its first franchise locations opening around 2001–2002. Today, Pizza Schmizza operates multiple units across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. In 2008, the brand joined Figaro’s Pizza but regained independence in 2014, continuing to build on its distinct brand identity.
Pizza Schmizza specializes in thin-crust, New York–style pizza sold by the slice or whole pie. The menu features over 25 signature pizzas with unique toppings, such as alligator sausage, spicy chicken, and vegetarian options. It also offers salads, pastas, sandwiches, and appetizers, served in a vibrant and eclectic setting.

Pizza Schmizza provides a structured training program to ensure franchisees and their staff are adequately prepared to operate the business according to system standards. Here are the main components of the training provided by the franchisor:
Pizza Schmizza grants franchisees the right to open a store at a specific approved location, but it does not guarantee exclusive territory protection. Franchisees may receive a Designated Territory under a Multiple Franchise Purchase Addendum, but this does not prevent the franchisor from operating or licensing others nearby. Site approvals are subject to the franchisor’s current criteria, and approval for new stores remains at their discretion.
The franchisor may analyze market feasibility and assist in location evaluation but reserves the right to open additional locations in nearby areas. Even with a Designated Territory, the franchise agreement allows the franchisor flexibility in future site approvals. Therefore, franchisees should not expect absolute exclusivity in their local market.
