The 11 small pizza chain stores to be introduced below have just begun to break free from local constraints and stood on tiptoe toward the unknown world outside the door. They invested money and took risks. Finally, with continuous innovation and attempts and aggressiveness, they finally caught up with the giants in the pizza restaurant industry, attracted enough customers with delicious food, and broke the long-term pizza monopoly.
Aurelio's Pizza
0 Founded in 1959 on Homewood, Illinois
Number of branches: 42
Chicago's deep-dished pizza is famous all over the world, but the authentic "Wind City Pizza" is not what we usually see, divided into 8 pieces, but is divided into pieces with a square with a short cake base. This cake base has many names, and in Chicago it is called "bishop style". Aurelio's perfectly demonstrates the suburban family food culture of the region, and it also provides locals with deep pizza with "super connotation" and "Calabres" (also called Carzone, an Italian pizza dumpling) editors like to come here to party. It has been expanding the market outward with its unique Midwest flavors and crispy and delicious cake bases.
Pieology
Founded in Santa Margarita, Lanma, California in 2011
Branches: 98
Four words summary Pieology's pizza: unlimited filling. Pieology's filling "Arsenal" is paired with different cake bases (white wheat, regular wheat or gluten-free), and condiments of different flavors (red wine, cheese, herb butter sauce or green sauce), which can produce 78 billion different combinations, allowing you to eat enough at one time. The chef will catch a "suspect" (usually meat, cheese or vegetables), spread them with sauce, and place them on a plate to "torture" until they are cooked. There is nothing to show off when constantly innovating your own pizza. But what’s interesting is that when Pieology launched the takeaway service, it began to embark on the road to success. In 2015, their clutches had swept the entire California , and it was proved by opening 32 branches overnight. Its influence is so great that even the well-known Panda Express company has purchased shares.
MOD Pizza
Founded in 2008 in Washington, , Seattle,
Number of branches: 106
Although MOD also has a thick pizza menu, its pizza is very simple and has a mother-like flavor. For example: Special Dominic Sauce (made of Aziago cheese, fresh crushed basil, red onions, sliced tomatoes, and sausages, etc.). Former Starbucks EXEC is in charge of the MOD pizza restaurant chain. From this you can see that MOD will definitely not be willing to stay in my hometown. The former Starbucks EXEC got a new job at MOD, and MOD also got a very loyal right-hand man. Not only did he bring MOD a brand new customized product plan, but he also innovated the atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant, bringing customers who love novelty and pursue nostalgia here with creativity.
Artichoke Basille's Pizza
Founded in 2008 in New York City
Number of stores: 7
On this list, Articlehoke Basille's pizza is the thickest (ignoring the cheating Chicago deep-dish pizza). It uses the "exclusive secret recipe pizza" drizzled with equal portions of thistle and shredded cheese to capture many diners. The deliciousness after adding vodka's three-dimensional seasoning cubes and some unusual ingredients is worthy of our praise. The extremely innovative flavors and the pancake noodles are filled with thistle, which makes the restaurant lined up every weekend night. Its owner is a cooking channel host, which also laid a solid foundation for its national expansion.
Marco's Pizza
0 Founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1978
Branches: 660
Marco provides you with professional American pizza, such as double spicy sausage noble pizza. It also has the latest trendy ordering rules, such as custom cake bases. Although Marco continues to innovate, it has always attached great importance to the roots of pizza from Europa.Although Marco is not among the four kings of the pizza world (Domestic, Papa John, Pizza Hut and Caesar Little), isn’t it common for five of the four kings to have?
Gino's East
0 Founded in , Illinois, ,
Number of branches: 16
Gino's East's deep-dish pizza has more tomato sauce and cheese than traditional pizza. This taste experience has even become synonymous with Chicago. No other food chain in the area can get such a high reputation as it does. Its five branches in , Texas strongly proves that even if the baby leaves Chicago, he can survive!
PizzaRev
0 Founded in Los Angeles, California in 2012,
Number of branches: 32 (there are 8 in preparation)
Los Angeles is a pizza hell, so this "pizza nightmare city" is constantly attracting pizza restaurants with fast-food casual concepts to fill the gap in this city. PizzaRev, a custom pizza tycoon, is precisely one of the leaders of the Pizza Triangle Revolution. It attaches importance to the assembly line and personally designs innovative pizza. Its secret weapon is a four-pitched stone oven cooked on open flames and won the "temperature competition" in the pizza world. There are many pizza chains in the United States like 800 Degrees and Pieology, but slices of pizza can no longer satisfy PizzaRev. Buffalo Wild Wings also acquired its shares, became a minority shareholder, and also obtained the first franchise of PizzaRev.
Blaze Pizza
0 Founded in Irvine, California in 2012,
Branches: 112 (there are 50 in preparation)
Blaze Pizza's dough is carefully prepared to better adapt to long-term fermentation and rapid baking. The crispy noodles are bitten in the mouth and burst into aroma, making people feel endless aftertaste. It also boldly brings innovative breakfast pizza, bringing new colors to a place that has forgotten its delicious pizza. In 2014, Blaze Pizza had only 12 branches, and now the number of branches is almost 10 times that of that time. With its efficient oven, it can bake a pizza every half minute. Nothing can stop it, and now people are eyeing the vast overseas market.
Pie Five Pizza
Founded in 2011 in , Texas,
Number of branches: 85 (400 more are in preparation)
The name "five" hidden in the name "client" - it only takes 5 minutes for customers to get customized pizza. Its oven is specially designed to bake the dough into thin and crispy. The ingredients are not too far from the oven, making them convenient and timely. It can fill your unremarkable life with a touch of freshness, adding a variety of fun and delicious ingredients to the pizza noodles, such as seafarers-style sauce with sriracha sweet chili sauce, powdered cheese known as "Magic Dust", or ingredients mixed with oregano.
800 Degrees
Founded in Los Angeles, California in 2012
Branches: 15
In addition to PizzaRev, 800 Degrees also supports the Los Angeles fast casual pizza market. Unlike PizzaRev, it values traditional Italian flavors. Its pizza is full of freshest ingredients, with different varieties of cheese, and even fried eggs that are rare in pizza. It is the second pizza place to enter LA International Airport , so it can already fascinate visitors from the moment they step into LA. The founder of the chain, who once worked at Umami Burger, knew how to expand his restaurant outward like an empire. The chain has opened overseas branches in Dubai.
Jet's Pizza
0 Founded in 1978 in
Stirling Heights,
Number of branches: 390
With the unique Detroit style pizza, Jet's Pizza makes people bow to the table.Detroit-style pizza is thought to be more like Sicilian pizza, but it is baked in a semi-automatic built-in oven, filling the square cake base with caramel and cheese. This may also perfectly blend New York’s delicate emotions with deep-dish pizza. Before the road along I-75 was opened, the chain was just a secret in Detroit at the beginning, and it was located deep in the suburbs. But it suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right and went straight into the western region. People may not know that the pizza on their hands is Detroit-style, but once they taste it, they will definitely remember it firmly, that's Jet's Pizza. I think anyone will fall in love with Jet's, a slightly ghostly mascot - the uncle with a black beard. Author: Cris Editor: AlexSakura
