Facts & figures
Customers rule the Pie Five Pizza kitches
The appeal of Pie Five Pizza stems from the opportunity for customers to be able to dictate how their pizza will be made. While that trend has also been attempted with other franchises, the rapid success enjoyed by Pie Five shows clearly that the company knows what its customers want. Those customers have the option of not only choosing from one of the company’s 10 recipes, but making up their own combination of toppings, paying the same price every time. Even the type of crust can widely vary: the standard pan crust, artisan thin dough, gluten-free or whole grain.
