Michael J. Martella always believed his father's pizza was the best in the world. When the elder Martella, Antonio, opened the first Captain Tony's Pizza & Pasta Emporium in 1972, everyone in the family pitched in. When Michael graduated from college and began a career as a stockbroker, the pizzas he tried as he traveled around the country just didn't measure up to his father's. Realizing they had a superior product and concept, Michael tried to convince his father to expand the company, but Antonio wasn't interested. In 1987, Michael founded Captain Tony's Inc. and began franchising the restaurant. Each Captain Tony's location serves a variety of entrre and dessert pizzas, submarine sandwiches, pastas and salads. The franchise has restaurants in Great Britain as well as the United States.

SPECIAL NOTE (August): We are currently in the development stage of putting together our franchise business to begin selling franchises across the U.S. by the first quarter of 2009. To grow that business (12 to 36 new stores opened per year), we are currently offering a limited amount of investment in our franchise company - the franchise arm of our business will not own stores but rather sell, develop and manage stores across the U.S. If you would like further info, send us an e-mail and provide some info about yourself and overall interest. Please note we are only offering a limited amount of investment - so, if you are interested please contact us. "Rebuilding the health of America one slice at a time"
