Buy a DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks Franchise

DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks is a Texas-born pizzeria concept founded in 1984 in College Station, built around fresh, hand-tossed dough made daily, scratch-made sauce and its signature Peproni Rolls. Alongside specialty pizzas, the menu runs to strombolis, sandwiches, salads and homemade desserts, positioning each location as an everyday dining spot rather than a single-occasion pizza stop.

The brand began franchising in the mid-1990s and today operates a network of around 40 franchised restaurants concentrated largely in Texas. Units are compact, typically under 2,500 square feet with about 60 seats, and combine dine-in, carry-out and delivery. The franchisor offers single-unit, area development and master franchise arrangements, giving operators several routes to build a local or regional presence.

DoubleDave’s remains founder-connected, with founder David Miller still associated with the company and a corporate team led by president and CEO Chuck Thorp. Its differentiation rests on fresh daily preparation, a recognizable regional identity and a culture that leans heavily on community involvement.

Why buy a DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks Franchise?

Buying a DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks franchise means stepping into an established regional brand with a history stretching back to 1984 and a loyal following across its core Texas markets. Its distinctive products, including Peproni Rolls, specialty pizzas and the Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli, give it a recognizable identity that sets it apart from the national pizza chains it competes with.

For owners, the appeal lies in a proven operating system: the franchisor supplies recipes, vendor relationships, training and ongoing support, and the everyday-dining menu sits in a food category that has proved durable across economic cycles. The compact footprint and the choice of single-unit, area development or master franchise structures give operators flexibility in how they grow.

DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    DoubleDave's provides incoming franchisees with corporate-led training built around its standardized recipes and procedures, reported as 61 hours of classroom instruction plus 105 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support covers supplier and vendor relationships, marketing tools, new product launches and day-to-day operations, delivered in part through field business consultants and a director of field operations. Buyers of an existing DoubleDave's should confirm what transfer training and onboarding the franchisor provides to incoming owners and what operating systems and supplier access carry over with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    DoubleDave's suits a hands-on, operations-led owner comfortable running a full-service kitchen and front-of-house team. Prior restaurant or food-service experience is a clear advantage, given the daily made-from-scratch preparation and quality standards the brand is built on. Successful owners tend to enjoy managing and motivating staff, driving local marketing and getting involved in their community, since much of a unit's draw is its neighborhood reputation. The model fits both single-unit operators and those pursuing area development or master franchise growth.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    DoubleDave's has been recognized as a Franchise Business Review Top Franchise across multiple years, a rating drawn from independent franchisee satisfaction surveys, and has been noted for franchisee satisfaction and operational stability. Beyond formal rankings, the brand's strongest credibility signal is its longevity since 1984 and a loyal customer base in its core Texas markets, built on fresh ingredients and everyday value. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific location's local reviews, referral sources and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    Pizza is one of the most established categories in US foodservice. The US pizza market was valued at roughly $39 billion in 2025 and is projected to approach $51 billion by 2034, supported by steady demand for convenience, delivery and carry-out and the format's appeal as affordable family dining. The category is competitive and led by large national chains, so regional brands typically compete on fresh ingredients, distinctive menu items and local loyalty. For resale buyers, demand at a specific unit depends heavily on its local market, visibility and the strength of its delivery and carry-out trade.
