The secret of success

It’s about offering a great pizza and other Italian food products and involving great people, that is what Italo Ventura thinks about the Italo’s Pizza concept.

Italo’s Pizza consists of 5 Franchises and 2 company owned shops. Italo Ventura takes great care in choosing his Franchisees. Italo Ventura does not like to do things through the mail or phone, he likes to meet the prospective franchisees and go over the franchise agreement explaining the entire program because there are some very important business decisions and commitments to make.

All Italo’s Pizza shops are operated day to day by the people who own them. A promise of daily operations is not enough. The prospective franchisee must go through an intensive month of training at our main store on Middlebranch Rd in Canton, Ohio. Italo Ventura and James Ventura train the new franchisee in every aspect of the operation, with the help of some senior employees, and will assist them for 2 weeks at the time of the store opening.

Consistency is one of the most important features of an Italo’s Pizza Franchise. Spices for pizza and spaghetti and chicken is packaged and prepared specifically for Italo’s Pizza and they are sold to you to be mixed for a final product according to our secret recipes and distributed to you as needed. Printed bags must be used with our logo and coupons and will be sold to you as needed.

We will assist you in site locations, remodeling, equipment purchase and suggestions, layout, promoting, advertising and printing needs.
