Buy a Westside Pizza Franchise

Westside Pizza is a regional pizza franchise founded in 1996 in Colville, Washington, and franchising since 2005. The menu is built around handcrafted pizzas alongside calzones, wings, salads and pastas, with gluten-free options, sold through delivery, carry-out and dine-in service under the “It’s all about the pizza!” banner.

The company operates a network of 36+ restaurants concentrated across the western US, including Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah and California. It positions itself as a community-focused local favorite, competing on fresh ingredients and service rather than national-chain scale.

Westside markets a franchisee-friendly model, with royalties it describes as lower than many national pizza brands, plus incentives for multi-unit operators and veterans and a “Rising Up” program that lets top-performing managers move into ownership. Locations run as owner-operated or, in some cases, more passively managed restaurants staffed by local teams.

Why buy a Westside Pizza Franchise?

Buying a Westside Pizza franchise offers entry into the resilient US pizza category through an established western-US brand with around two decades of operating history. Pizza’s broad, repeat appeal supports steady demand, and Westside’s positioning as a community-rooted local favorite can differentiate a unit from national chains in smaller and mid-sized markets.

The model is built to be franchisee-friendly: royalties the brand describes as roughly half those of major national pizza franchises, a modest marketing fund, and incentives for veterans and multi-unit developers. The “Rising Up” program creates a succession pipeline by letting strong managers become owners, and delivery, carry-out and dine-in channels give operators several ways to build local sales.

Westside Pizza – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Westside Pizza provides initial training of 37.5 hours on-the-job plus 9.25 hours of classroom instruction, covering dough making, daily operations, payroll and customer service. Ongoing support includes proprietary software and an intranet, marketing programs spanning SEO, social media and a customer loyalty app, field operations support, and a purchasing advisory council that refines systems over time. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and software access carries over to incoming owners and which existing managers are already trained.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, community-minded operators with management or team-leadership experience who are comfortable running a fast-paced restaurant and following a proven system. Restaurant experience is not required, since training covers operations, but owners should be ready to recruit, lead and retain staff (a delivery and carry-out store runs 8-12 employees; dine-in 15-20). Both owner-operator and more passive, manager-run approaches are workable, with strong local marketing instincts and genuine community engagement mattering most in Westside's smaller-market territories.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Westside Pizza has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a Top 200 Franchise in 2025 and 2026 and a Top Food Franchise in 2024 and 2025, reflecting strong franchisee-satisfaction scores. The brand reports a high net promoter score and consistently strong local Google review ratings across its restaurants, and individual franchisees have earned community recognition, including a Hillshire Farm "Great Pizza Give Back" award. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific unit's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pizza market generates over $46 billion a year, with roughly 3 billion pizzas sold annually, making it one of the largest and most stable restaurant categories. Demand is supported by pizza's broad household appeal, its convenience, and the continued growth of delivery and online ordering, and the category has proved resilient across economic cycles. For resale buyers, local factors such as population density, delivery radius, competition and a unit's review reputation typically drive performance more than national trends.
