Ingredients for a Pizza and Games Entertainment Franchise

September 4, 2023

Have you been looking to build a business that boasts multiple ways to appeal to consumers? If so, you should invest in a pizza and games entertainment franchise in a community near you. It’s no secret that many Americans love pizza. However, the average pizza brand can find it difficult to stand out given how competitive the market is.

Providing a unique value-add in addition to delicious pizza is a great way to differentiate your business. Family entertainment centers (FECs) offer arcade rooms that create an engaging atmosphere for guests. That said, not every FEC has the means to provide great food with their entertainment. Lucky for you, Mr Gatti’s Pizza does both about as well as anyone else in the FEC or pizza industry.

Mr Gatti’s family entertainment center franchise combines delicious pizza, popular arcade games, and awesome parties for a unique customer experience. Our brand has become a favorite local gathering spot for community members, where different generations can bond while playing games and eating pizza and other tasty menu items. Today, we’re aiming to bring the Mr Gatti’s experience to new territories and continue forming these memories with new customers. We’re excited to work alongside entrepreneurs who are just as passionate as we are about the incredible FECs we hope to open.

If you’re interested in making the investment and owning a pizza franchise, here are some of the ingredients that will make your FEC a success.

A Pizza Franchise with an Unforgettable Taste

Unlike other entertainment centers, Mr Gatti’s was originally known for the incredible taste of our pizza and other menu options. The first Mr Gatti’s Pizza location was opened in 1969 and became popular almost immediately. Customers raved about our fresh dough, authentic cheese, and signature tangy pizza sauce as the Mr Gatti’s brand continued to grow. 

Our DELCO Model

We’ve remained committed to our proven Mr Gatti’s pizza recipe – and hungry customers continue to visit in droves. The pizza we serve has become such a popular attraction for our franchisees that we are now able to offer delivery and carryout-only (DELCO) franchise opportunities. The Mr Gatti’s DELCO franchise model focuses exclusively on our pizza and other menu offerings. It’s perfect for customers who are craving our tasty food but don’t have the time to enjoy the full Mr Gatti’s FEC experience.

Buffet-Style Pleases the Crowds

We typically serve our pizza in a buffet style for guests who visit our FEC franchise locations. This allows them to fill their plates with food as often as they like and take it with them as they explore the rest of the facility. This flexibility makes it easier for guests to enjoy our pizza and entertainment at the same time.

Guests continue to visit our FEC and DELCO locations because both offer a quality of food and fun that competitors cannot match.

Fun for the Entire Family

Mr Gatti’s’ ability to attract customers is not solely due to our pizza menu. Our game rooms and party experiences are what make us different from local pizza shops and major pizza brands that can be found in most communities. Each Mr Gatti’s FEC facility includes enough space for several arcade games and private party areas. This allows investors like you to create a fun and engaging environment for guests.

The arcade games found at Mr Gatti’s FECs combine new favorites with classic titles that almost everyone enjoys. This gives your franchise the best chance to create an engaging FEC experience for community members of all ages. With this in mind, we also ensure that each arcade game we add to your facility is appropriate for everyone. This way, guests feel encouraged to play and interact with each other without having to worry about mature themes that can be found in some arcade games. It also can help parents feel more comfortable letting their children explore and play on their own. 

Guests enjoy utilizing our party rooms for a variety of gatherings, which include:

  • Fundraisers
  • Birthday parties and celebrations
  • Conferences
  • School field trips
  • Work team outings
  • And other meetings and gatherings!

Businesses that can effectively combine pizza and arcades are creating plenty of growth potential in their industry. If you are interested in finding a pizza and games entertainment franchise with a loyal customer base, you should choose Mr Gatti’s Pizza. Franchising with us gives you the opportunity to combine a strong pizza business with a thrilling FEC experience that is unlike any other!
