Leadership
Partner with Experts
SKINNYPIZZA® was founded in 2009 by Long Island restaurateur and CEO Joseph Vetrano. More than 17 years later, the brand has rebuilt itself around sourdough, staying true to the same mission: pizza that's lighter and made with ingredients that fit your lifestyle.
Investing in a franchise means going into business with an established brand and brand team who know how to run a successful business. You'll benefit from in-depth industry knowledge and support from people who genuinely want to see you thrive.
