Unlike full service restaurants, no previous restaurant experience is required with Tony Sacco's. All of the cooking in the entire store takes place at the coal fired oven and easy-to-hire, experienced pizza makers will be employed to do this job. The result is a restaurant that can be run by an operator who does not have a food service background. Our proprietary recipes and our training program will provide all the information and hands-on experience you need to serve up a perfect dining experience time after time. At Tony Sacco's, simplicity is behind all that we do. It is our goal to help you get up and running quickly and to stay up and running for a long time. And the best way to accomplish this is to provide you with a winning formula.

Tony Sacco's provides a franchise opportunity like no other: Simplicity: At the heart of Tony Sacco's is our signature Coal Fired Oven that is used to cook everything that we serve. There are no fryers, grills or microwave ovens. Our Coal Fired Oven ensures that the taste of our menu items is accentuated by the rich, lightly smoky flavor that the oven produces. This unique taste is unavailable with any other cooking method. By serving pizzas, sandwiches, and salads, no high-paid kitchen personnel are required. Low Food Costs: Controlling food costs is one of the keys in operating a successful restaurant. Many restaurants' food costs can run between 30 to 35 percent of sales. Tony Sacco's operates at a food cost of less than 25%, which can translate into higher profits for franchisees. Our menu is designed to use all ingredients to produce more than 1 menu item, thereby reducing cost and waste. A Better Pizza: You hear claims all the time that one pizza is better than another, yet they are cooked with the same oven, with the same dough and many of the same ingredients. Thus, many people tend to think that all pizzas are the same. At Tony Sacco's the difference is in the coal. It produces a unique flavor and crispy crust that traditional pizza ovens cannot rival. In keeping with the trend of fresh, healthy food, all of our ingredients are prepared freshly from scratch. We do not use any frozen or pre-prepared ingredients in our restaurant. The coal oven, and the totally fresh ingredients, delivers a 1 - 2 punch of flavor that no other pizza can even come close to matching. The result is a premium pizza offering that separates you from others in the $30 Billion pizza industry.
