Franchise Information

Our story began in 1963, in Toronto, Ontario, when a young Italian family opened the very first Pizza Nova restaurant. Today, we're proud to have 150 locations across Canada, each of which centers around a simple, but powerful, mantra:
We deliver quality.

Our uncompromising commitment to serving only the highest quality products made with only the finest ingredients is at the core of our success. Because of their fresh, healthy and largely local ingredients, we like to think of our pizza as fast food that's good for you.

While the Primucci family runs the business, we owe our 57+ years of success to the passion, hard work and dedication of over 2,000 people. We believe in investing in our people, and we think you'll notice the difference, both as a customer and a franchisee. Because when you become a member of the Pizza Nova franchise family, you receive so much more than a sign. You join a proven small business management system with a comprehensive and award-winning marketing program, and become a part of a company that cares about you as much as it does about the food we make.
