Traditional Franchise Opportunities

THE TRADITIONAL BOSTON PIZZA MODEL PROVIDES A FULL-SERVICE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY CASUAL-DINING RESTAURANT, A LIVELY SPORTS BAR, A SOPHISTICATED TAKE-OUT & DELIVERY PLATFORM AND AN INVITING PATIO, ALL IN ONE! THAT EQUALS FOUR GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU AS A BOSTON PIZZA FRANCHISEE!

A CONCEPT WITH STAYING POWER

Tailored to each market, our traditional restaurant model has proven successful across Canada for nearly 60 years. Our restaurants typically feature ample parking, easy access, high visibility, an outdoor patio and more, for the ultimate guest experience.

A MODERN AND SOPHISTICATED CONCEPT WITH THE FLEXIBILITY to adapt and thrive in a variety of environments

Boston Pizza’s nearly 60-year track record of success can be attributed to a number of key areas which include, a fresh and craveable menu, broad demographic appeal, the ability to target multiple dayparts, industry-leading low food costs and we famously DO NOT collect royalties on alcohol sales. Coupled with our commitment to Franchisee profitability, these areas of focus have made us the #1 casual dining brand in Canada!
