Own a SKINNYPIZZA Franchise
Combine healthier sourdough pizza and organic acai bowls in one turnkey fast-casual location.
Brand overview
SKINNYPIZZA & ACAI brings two high-demand concepts under one roof, offering health-conscious consumers a menu built on fresh, all-natural ingredients. Founded in 2009 by Long Island veteran restaurateur Joseph Vetrano, the brand began with ultra-thin crust pizzas made from naturally fermented sourdough. In 2020, an organic acai bowls and smoothies line was added to meet growing consumer demand and create a second, distinct revenue stream. With over 13 years of industry experience, the parent company provides a proven turnkey system that requires no prior business or food service experience to operate.
