Buy an Anthony’s Pizza and Pasta Franchise

Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta is a Colorado-based fast-casual pizza and pasta concept founded in 1984 in Denver. It positions itself as the original New York-style pizzeria in Colorado, serving hand-tossed, stone-baked pizza made from fresh daily dough with premium mozzarella and a choice of classic and seasonal toppings.

The menu extends beyond pizza by the slice and whole pies to include baked ziti pasta, fresh salads, sandwiches, appetizers, and rotating seasonal items. The franchise system, owned by EPIQ Ventures, LLC, spans nearly 20 locations across Colorado’s Front Range, including Denver, Golden, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and a location at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Franchising began in 2001, and the system includes both company-owned and independently franchised restaurants. Anthony’s is structured around protected delivery territories, collective ingredient buying power, and a community engagement model that encourages franchisees to support local organizations, fundraisers, and youth initiatives.

Why buy an Anthony’s Pizza and Pasta Franchise?

Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta offers buyers access to a brand with over 40 years of Colorado history and a loyal customer base built on consistent product quality. The New York-style pizza format has proved durable across the Front Range, with units that have become neighborhood institutions in their communities.

The franchise model is built around protected delivery territories, which limit intra-brand competition and support delivery-focused revenue. Franchisees also benefit from collective buying power for ingredient sourcing. These structural features make the economics of an existing unit more predictable than starting from scratch in the same market.

Anthony’s Pizza and Pasta – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Anthony's Pizza & Pasta provides franchisees with operations and marketing support, with an emphasis on maintaining the brand's food-quality standards across independently operated locations. Franchisees have access to collective buying power for ingredient sourcing. Buyers of an existing Anthony's unit should confirm with the franchisor what initial training and onboarding is available to incoming ownership, and what operational systems and support access transfer with the resale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on operators with an interest in food quality and local community engagement. Prior restaurant experience is useful but not required; the franchisor provides operational guidance focused on maintaining product standards and delivery consistency. Franchisees are expected to manage day-to-day operations, oversee staff, and build neighborhood relationships. Operators who are active in their local community tend to align well with the brand's culture.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Anthony's Pizza & Pasta has operated continuously in Colorado since 1984, building a reputation for consistent quality that the brand describes as award-winning in its core Front Range markets. The franchise maintains a community-first identity and local visibility across nearly 20 Colorado locations. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be assessed at the territory level, including local customer reviews, community standing, and the unit's history within its neighborhood.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pizza restaurant industry generated approximately $39 billion in revenue in 2025, according to IMARC Group, reflecting steady consumer demand for pizza as an everyday meal occasion. Delivery and takeout continue to grow as a share of fast-casual pizza sales. Regional brands with established local identities tend to hold customer loyalty in their core markets, making local reputation and delivery territory strength key factors when evaluating a resale unit.
