Villa Pizza Franchise Information

Our Humble Beginnings...

What started in 1964 as a tiny pizzeria next to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City has grown into an international organization with over 300 locations and 5 restaurant concepts offering an array of flavors and tastes pleasing to most every consumer.

Villa Pizza, our flagship concept, was the vision of our founder Michele Scotto. When Michele came to America, from his homeland of Naples, Italy, he dreamed of opening a pizzeria where he could continue to practice the craft he had learned back home working in the restaurants and cruise ships in and around Naples.
