When their favorite pizzeria closed in 1984, convenience store owners Jim and Jennifer Larkin knew they had two options--live without pizza or start their own pizzeria. The couple took the entrepreneurial route and opened the first Breadeaux Pisa location in 1985.
Fifteen years later, the company, which makes pizzas with a thick French crust, had more than 60 locations operating under the Breadeaux Pizza name. Each restaurant serves a variety of entr'and dessert pizzas (such as Taco or Apple Cinnamon), submarine sandwiches, hot wings, breadsticks, pastas, salads and cookies.
PieZoni’s takes pride in offering the freshest and healthiest pizza, salads, and subs in the marketplace. In 2015, we began improving upon the fresh food practices we were already committed to. We expect this process to take some time as we search the food service industry for the tastiest and cleanest ingredients we can find, but we think you’ll agree we are well on our way.
