    About Ronzio Pizza

    Pizza has widespread appeal and it is popular in all regions of the USA and in many foreign countries. It is a food without peer in its flexibility and its adaptability. Practically any taste can be satisfied with pizza from the traditional to the exotic can be accommodated with a simple variation. Pizza is an economical meal or snack and because it contains the four basic food groups, pizza is nutritious and good for you. Ron Paul, president of the Chicago based consulting firm Technomics sees the pizza category growing. The growth of local and regional companies is so significant that these newcomers may actually keep the big players from growing in some markets. The rapid growth of the home delivery food business has been accelerated by changes in sociological trends in America: the dramatic increase in the number of two income households and the continued increase in convenience being sought by consumers. According to restaurant industry analysts, the potentially lucrative at home market is where the greatest future potential lies. The growing popularity of home entertainment, coupled with the demand for convenience, spells opportunity for take-out and home delivered foods. Despite the intensification of competition from all quarters, most pizza operators express great optimism, and not without reason. Pizza continues to be enormously popular with a key demographic group: Baby Boomers and their kids. As a result of this trend, industry analysts cannot see this category slowing down much at all in the near future. Pizza offers good value, and delivers well, two key ingredients for success, given today's economics and lifestyle trends. All of the products sold in Ronzio Pizza Shops are prepared fresh in the shop each day. The pizza dough is made fresh in each shop several times each day and the pizzas are formed by hand. The products are prepared on the premises where the customers can see them being made and where possible the ingredients are displayed openly. The combination of the quality control advantages of on-site production in small batches and the use of the finest all natural ingredients produces a very high quality pizza. The sauce is made from a special recipe developed after comprehensive research and the cheese is a custom blend of 100% pure cheeses. The toppings are top quality and generously apportioned.

    About Pizza Schmizza

    You see, way back in our earliest days, when founder and pizza retailing giant André Jehan (whose modesty compelled him to name his corporation André Grandé), first got serious about Schmizza, he dreamt up and trademarked the “one planet, one people, one pizza®” slogan. Because even then, he said, “world domination was the goal”. And now you can participate. Instead of simply standing by as an observer, or happily engaging André and the other Schmizza franchise owners as a Pizza Schmizza consumer, you can invest and own your very own Pizza Schmizza, anywhere! Opportunities are available literally virtually planet-wide. Sadly, there are a few places where you can’t open your own Schmizza, but they are few and far between. And there are no restrictions on developing other planets and moons, if you’re ready to move on from Planet Earth.
