In late 1997, Bellacino’s began formulating a plan to franchise a pizza & grinder restaurant business.
The first Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders restaurant officially opened in June of 1998
Seeking new franchise units throughout the U.S. , Canada, Middle East and Western Europe
Crazy Dough’s Pizza first opened in 1999 in Boston, Mass, when husband and wife team, Doug and Melissa Ferriman, created an artisan slice bar in the heart of Boston. They named it Crazy Dough’s because the pizza (and its famous grilled-crust) was so innovative and CRAZY good!
Now Crazy Dough’s Pizza has a cool new look and feel, awesome new pizza creations, same award-winning crust, and opportunities to franchise in new markets. Check out our newest location in Sugar Hill, Georgia as well as 3 new locations in Georgia: Buford, Midtown Atlanta, and Duluth.
