About Papa Romano's

In 2007 we had approximately 45 franchised Papa Romano's Units located in Michigan. Most of our units are located in the Metropolitan Detroit area. However, we also have franchised stores located in Holland and Lewiston, MI. Our organization has established standards and may well afford you financial independence. However, YOUR management skills, drive and desire are an essential ingredient to your success. At Papa Romano's, we have proven that quality speaks for itself. We offer franchises for operating a carryout, delivery and/or sit-down restaurant that offers pizza, subs, salads, chicken, pasta, breads and other Italian prepared foods.
Research and Development
We are always looking for new menu items to meet customer demand, more efficient production methods and state of the art equipment. As an independent businessperson you would be able to take advantage of this ongoing research and development.

About Carbone's Pizzeria

"Carbones

Much has changed and nothing has changed. A small Italian grocery on St. Paul’s east side that served as a bar and as a confection shop during prohibition has grown to an extended family of Carbone’s Pizzerias. The legacy of two hopeful, young Italians is still present in every visit, in every exchange and in every bite.
