About Pieology
Before we embarked on our create-your-own pizza experience, our story began in the kitchen, with our founder, his wife and daughters, and a plan to share time together. From that day on, Pieology would forever be a fresh retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle -- where the only thing more important than quality food is quality people to share it with.
Using only the freshest ingredients along with signature sauces and crusts, award-winning Pieology Pizzeria offers hand-crafted, personally-inspired pizzas in unlimited flavor combinations that are stone oven fired in less than three minutes.
Founded in 2011 by Carl Chang, Pieology is the true "pie-one" in the fast casual custom pizza sector, evolving from the simple idea to turn America's most crave-able food into an affordable and interactive experience.
The mission of Pieology Pizzeria is to inspire individual creativity in a positive atmosphere where guests can gather with family and friends, while enjoying their delicious pizza creations. Along with providing great food and a memorable dining experience, Pieology is committed to making a positive difference in the communities it serves, one pie at a time.
Pieology was on schedule and opened 110 restaurants by the end of 2015, with commitments for 500.
Technomic, the leading fact-based consulting and research firm serving the food industry, reported Pieology as the fastest growing limited service restaurant chain, having more than tripled both sales and unit growth in 2014. Pieology is the first fast casual, build-your-own pizza concept to enter the ranking among the nation's largest brands.
