With all of the consumer demand that still exists for pizza today, entrepreneurs interested in the restaurant industry find themselves evaluating pizza brands to find the best pizza franchise to own. While most pizza makers focus on their food’s flavor or featured special menu items, the truth is that may not be enough to stand out in a highly competitive field. Mr Gatti’s Pizza, on the other hand, can combine all the elements of a great pizza franchise with a family entertainment center (FEC) experience to create a truly unique franchise opportunity. This gives our FEC franchisees an advantage over their competition, with nearly a brand in either industry that follows a business model that can lay claim to offering the same.

For the last half-century, Mr Gatti’s Pizza has been making tasty pizza built with authentic ingredients to create memorable flavors that will both satisfy customer cravings and leave them eager to return. Throughout much of this time, we have been serving our pizza in an engaging customer environment that offers plenty of other attractions as well – something that few other pizza businesses can truthfully say. Our team is confident that the pizza, games, and party room aspects of Mr Gatti’s will help the entrepreneurs who partner with us become owners of the best pizza franchises in their market.

Pizza Builds Our Customer Connection

From the very beginning, customers have fallen in love with Mr Gatti’s for our delicious pizza and well-rounded menu. Combining sauce made with ingredients picked fresh from harvest, dough prepared each morning at our locations, and authentic Provolone cheese is a recipe that has stood the test of time and still resonates today. A large number of customers first formed their favorite memories at their nearby Mr Gatti’s location by enjoying slices of our tasty pizza.

We were not satisfied with just stopping at pizza, however, as we have continued to add other menu items as well. Fresh salads, flavorful sides, and savory dipping sauces are just some of the favorites our customers pair with their slices of Mr Gatti’s pizza. Our menu has proven to be so popular with consumers that it’s allowed us to build an additional franchise model that focuses exclusively on our food – the delivery and carryout only (DELCO) model.

Mr Gatti’s DELCO locations require less real estate than our traditional FEC model since the DELCOs do not incorporate any of the entertainment aspects. Customers who are craving our pizza, but don’t have the time for a full Mr Gatti’s Pizza experience, can instead simply order from a DELCO location to satisfy their hunger. With our delicious pizza and other crave-able menu items being more than enough to attract an array of customers, the DELCO model has demonstrated an ability to drive substantial amounts of revenue for franchisees who invest in it.

Games Bring an Interactive Element to Our Pizza Franchise

While our menu is one of the best tasting on the market, that has not stopped us from innovating to further stand out in the crowded pizza industry. This is where our entertainment center components factor in, starting with our arcade game rooms. These games are chosen for their interactive features, drawing groups of families, friends, and other community members to join in the fun and make memories together at their local Mr Gatti’s family entertainment center. 

When considering which arcade games to select, franchisees should focus on finding a balance between classic games that guests will be eager to beat their previous high score at and newer titles that will draw intrigue. We also require that each game added to the arcade room is family-friendly so that all guests can play it, regardless of age. This creates an ideal setting where all members of the community can play together side by side. It also establishes another significant driver of revenue that is unlike many other franchise opportunities on the market.

Party Rooms Welcome Many Events

When it comes to parties, Mr Gatti’s Pizza franchises have become a trusted host for locals in the community over the years. These rooms allow us to serve guests their food buffet style, which is often the preference when their parties include a large number of people. Many have described it as the ideal way to enjoy Mr Gatti’s Eat-N-Play Combo.

Unlike other entertainment centers that focus solely on birthday parties for young children or school field trips, Mr Gatti’s Pizza party rooms are also perfect for work outings, organizational meetings, fundraisers, and other community gatherings. This offers proof of how we offer the best pizza franchises: Mr. Gatti’s FECs can attract consumers of all ages and backgrounds, rather than just families with young children.

For entrepreneurs looking for the best pizza franchise to own, it’s clear that Mr Gatti’s Pizza combines the ideal elements of both a pizza business and an entertainment center business. With the pizza, games, and party room options that help attract customers and earn their loyalty, Mr Gatti’s is excited to continue offering revenue growth opportunities and building on our half-century of success as we evolve into the future!
