Sarpino’s Pizzeria is a fast-casual pizza delivery and take-out franchise offering handcrafted Italian-style pizzas, calzones, pasta dishes, and other Italian favorites. The brand was founded in 2001 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, by Gerry Koutougos and later established its U.S. headquarters in Lincolnshire, Illinois.
Franchising began in the early 2000s, around 2002 in the U.S. market. The brand focuses on fresh ingredients, online ordering, and free delivery, operating with a delivery and carry-out model that keeps overhead low and simplifies operations for franchise owners.
What sets Sarpino’s apart from competitors is its commitment to authentic Italian flavors, an efficient operational model built for delivery, and a menu that caters to evolving customer preferences, including vegan and specialty pizza options. Its emphasis on quality, consistency, and convenience has helped it build a loyal customer base.
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.

Sarpino’s Pizzeria provides limited territorial protection to its franchisees through what it defines as a “Protected Area.” This area is typically outlined by boundaries surrounding the approved location and is determined based on factors such as population density, customer segments, and delivery service potential.
Within this Protected Area, Sarpino’s and its affiliates agree not to establish another Sarpino’s Pizzeria restaurant, except for “limited use facilities” like malls, airports, or stadiums.
However, the franchisee does not receive an exclusive territory. The Franchisor reserves the right to operate or license similar businesses under different brand names and trademarks within or outside the Protected Area.
