Modeled after our flagship wood-fired pizza restaurant, Our ‘core’ restaurant model is approximately 2,000 square feet and has seating for 58 Guests. Pizzas bake in our 900-degree wood-fired oven in an open plan kitchen where Guests can see us push dough, top pizzas, and can watch their pizzas being baked in our wood-fired oven.
When their pizza is ready, we bring the pizza to the Guest at their table and always check back to make sure they’re having a great experience.
In addition to dining in, we offer a variety of different dining options, including online and telephone orders, in-store to-go orders, curbside pick-up and delivery through 3rd party delivery services.
When searching for a location, we firmly believe in the “Work, Live and Play” model. Our focus is on a location where there are offices (for the lunch crowd), where people live (for dinner) and where they shop (when people are looking for a quick bite out). The ideal location for the core restaurant model is in a strip mall, preferably the endcap space so there is the possibility of a patio. Ample parking is important, ideally with at least two designated spaces for curbside pick-up. Other important criteria for the core restaurant are a traffic count of at least 18,000 vehicles per day and 50,000 individuals living within a 5-mile radius.
