A Quick Look Back

In 1985, the first Pizza Factory franchise opened in Oakhurst, California, tossing up something truly awesome. With fresh, high-quality ingredients on hand-tossed dough and a commitment to putting community first, our simple concept quickly became a hit. Today, with over 100 locations across the United States, it’s clear:We toss ’em, they’re awesome” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a way of life!

Then & Now

Over the years we’ve perfected our recipe. Same flavor, but a fresh look!

Pizza Factory specialty pizza

Awesome from Day One

From the beginning, we knew standing out meant making an awesome pizza. We start with real, fresh ingredients, piling them high on hand-tossed dough covered in our signature sauce. It may seem simple, but these basics are what make Pizza Factory a slice above.

Awesome for Everyone

Pizza has a way of bringing people together, and Pizza Factory takes it a step further with our No Bully Zone Program. We believe that by working together, we can help stop bullying. That’s why we build and donate special No Bully Benches to schools in the communities we serve—creating safe spaces where kids can sit and invite others to join them. Because at Pizza Factory, we know that Friends are Awesome!™

It’s just one of the many ways our community involvement comes to life. As a community-first organization, giving back is in our DNA.
