Buy a Round Table Pizza Franchise

Round Table Pizza is a full-service pizza franchise founded in 1959 in Menlo Park, California, with franchising beginning in 1962. The menu centres on handcrafted pizza made with fresh, daily-rolled dough, hand-sliced vegetables, and a three-cheese blend of whole milk mozzarella, smoked provolone, and aged cheddar, alongside salads and beverages. The medieval-inspired concept targets families, casual diners, and groups gathering for celebrations, with dine-in supported by online ordering and a Royal Rewards loyalty programme.

The brand operates over 410 franchise locations across eight western US states, including California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii. Round Table Pizza is part of FAT Brands, a publicly traded restaurant franchising company whose portfolio also includes Fatburger and Johnny Rockets. FAT Brands provides franchisees with shared supply chain procurement, national marketing, and operational support infrastructure.

In 2025, FAT Brands launched its first co-branded Round Table Pizza and Fatburger location in California, a development that reflects the parent company’s broader ambitions for cross-brand format expansion.

Why buy a Round Table Pizza Franchise?

To buy a Round Table Pizza franchise is to acquire a brand with more than 65 years of operating history and a loyal, multi-generational customer base across the western United States. The concept’s made-from-scratch approach differentiates it from volume-focused pizza competitors, supporting local customer retention and repeat-visit revenue.

Being part of FAT Brands gives franchisees access to negotiated supply chain pricing across established distribution networks, national and regional advertising, and centralized marketing support. These resources would cost an independent operator significantly more to develop and maintain. The predominantly franchised nature of the system means the franchisor’s support infrastructure is built around owner-operator needs.

Round Table Pizza – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete an online orientation of approximately three hours and around 135 hours (15 days) of on-the-job training at a designated training location. FAT Brands conducts periodic advanced training for franchisees, managers, and staff. Ongoing support covers Brand Technology System access, negotiated supply chain procurement, national and local marketing programmes, and a Local Store Marketing Guide for traffic-building. Buyers of an existing Round Table unit should confirm with the franchisor what transfer training and Brand Technology System access is available to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Round Table Pizza suits operators with restaurant management experience who are comfortable overseeing kitchen staff, maintaining made-from-scratch food preparation standards, and managing front-of-house customer service. The business is operations-led; prior food service background is beneficial, though comprehensive training is provided. The brand's family-oriented positioning means local reputation and community engagement drive repeat business, making a community-minded, hands-on operator a strong fit for the model.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Round Table Pizza ranked #154 in the Franchise Times Top 400 for 2025, up from #163 the prior year. The brand's longevity — over 65 years of continuous operation — and its predominantly franchised structure reflect a stable, mature system with established consumer recognition across the western United States. Round Table operates a Royal Rewards loyalty programme for repeat customer engagement. For resale buyers, unit-level credibility depends on local reviews, repeat customer traffic, and community visibility within the specific trading area.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pizza restaurant industry is valued at approximately $46 billion, making it one of the largest categories in domestic foodservice. Demand has proved resilient across economic cycles, with online ordering and delivery continuing to expand market reach for established brands. For full-service concepts like Round Table Pizza, family dining and occasion-based visits sustain traffic alongside carry-out and digital channels. Resale buyers should review the unit's revenue mix across these channels alongside local competitive density.
