Red Boy Pizza is a family-oriented pizza brand founded in 1969 in San Francisco, California. It began as a small local shop and grew a loyal following through its handcrafted sourdough crust and focus on fresh ingredients. The company is now headquartered in San Rafael, California and operates through Red Boy Pizza Franchising Corporation.

The brand began franchising in 1987, giving qualified operators the opportunity to open restaurants under the Red Boy Pizza name. Its business philosophy centers on family tradition, freshness, sourdough craftsmanship and strong customer service. These core values help define the brand’s identity in the pizza industry.

Red Boy Pizza sells sourdough-crust pizzas, pastas, Italian salads and desserts. Its signature sourdough crust is made with simple ingredients, and the brand highlights its California-style sauce and use of real cheese. It also offers options such as vegan sourdough and gluten-free crusts, helping the brand stand out among traditional pizza chains.
