Sauce Pizza & Wine is a fast-casual restaurant franchise specializing in modern Italian cuisine. Founded in 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona, the brand is now headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Initially developed by Fox Restaurant Concepts, Sauce Pizza & Wine was acquired in 2015 by Sauce Holdings LLC, led by RA Sushi co-founder Scott Kilpatrick. The franchise began offering opportunities to entrepreneurs seeking to bring its unique dining experience to new markets.
The menu at Sauce Pizza & Wine features handcrafted pizzas, fresh pastas, artisan paninis, and vibrant salads, all made with high-quality, often locally sourced ingredients.
Complementing the food offerings is a curated selection of wines and craft beers, providing a complete dining experience. The restaurant's atmosphere combines the convenience of fast-casual service with the ambiance of a modern, upscale eatery.

Sauce Pizza provides a detailed and mandatory training program designed to equip franchisees and their management staff with the skills necessary to operate their restaurant effectively. Below is a breakdown of the training programs offered by the franchisor:
Sauce Pizza grants each franchisee a license for a specific, approved Franchised Location but does not provide exclusive territorial rights. The franchise agreement explicitly states that the location is subject to the franchisor’s approval, and no contractual language guarantees exclusivity within or beyond that area.
This means Sauce Pizza reserves the right to approve other franchises in nearby areas or engage in sales that could affect the franchisee’s business.
Furthermore, the franchisor may conduct business through other channels, such as e-commerce or non-traditional venues, which may operate within a franchisee’s vicinity without violating the agreement.
