The pizza industry is a $47 billion market — and not all pies are created equal. 7Pie Pizzeria is the rare concept that turns first-time guests into lifelong regulars, and lifelong regulars into raving fans. Now we're looking for the right partners to bring that magic to communities across the country.
Ready to rise?
Not Just Another Pizza Place.
At 7Pie, we didn't set out to build a franchise. We set out to build the best pizza in the room — every single time. Our signature yeast and saltwater dough process isn't a gimmick; it's a craft technique that produces a crust with depth, chew, and flavor you simply can't replicate from a frozen bag or a corporate formula. That commitment to quality is exactly what makes 7Pie a business worth owning. Guests taste the difference. They come back. They bring people. And they talk about it. When your product is genuinely great, marketing takes care of itself.
A Concept Built for Today's Market.
The modern diner wants more than convenience — they want an experience worth sharing. 7Pie delivers on both. Our menu goes far beyond pizza, with scratch-made wings, sandwiches, pasta, southern comfort plates, and indulgent desserts that drive repeat visits and higher average tickets.
• Multiple revenue streams — dine-in, carry-out, delivery, catering, and private events
• Broad guest appeal — families, students, sports fans, date nights, and corporate groups
• Bar program integration — designed to boost per-table revenue and extend guest dwell time
• Proven in a competitive market — built and refined in Dahlonega, GA, a dynamic college and tourist town
Whether you come from the restaurant and retail world or you're exploring franchise ownership for the first time, you'll quickly see how rare it is to find a concept with true menu differentiation, strong unit economics, and a brand identity that doesn't blur into the competition.
You've Been Waiting for a Brand You Actually Believe In.
You're not looking for just any franchise. You want something with a real story, real food, and real staying power. You want to wake up proud of what you've built.
7Pie gives you a proven playbook, a brand with genuine soul, and a support team that treats your success like our own. We've done the hard work of figuring out what works — the recipes, the systems, the guest experience — so you can focus on leading your team and growing your
business.
This is your moment to own something that matters in your community.
Diversify With a Concept That Stands Out.
If you already operate in the restaurant or retail franchise space, you know how rare it is to find a concept with true menu differentiation, strong unit economics, and a brand identity that doesn't blur into the competition.
7Pie isn't trying to be everyone's pizza. We're building a loyal following of guests who know the difference between ordinary and extraordinary — and keep coming back for extraordinary. That guest loyalty translates directly to consistent sales, stronger margins, and a business that holds its value.

Who We're Looking For.
We're selective — because the right partners protect the brand for everyone. Our ideal franchisee is:
• Hospitality-minded — you care about how guests feel when they walk in and out
• Community-driven — you want your restaurant to be a true neighborhood destination
• Operationally serious — you follow the system, lead your team, and hold high standards
• Financially prepared — with access to capital and a strong local network
You don't need to have owned a restaurant before. You do need to love great food and be willing to put in the work to deliver it consistently.

The initial franchise fee is $35,000 for a single-unit agreement. This grants you the right to operate under the 7Pie brand, access to our proprietary systems, recipes, and dough process, and enrollment in our initial training program. Multi-unit development agreements may qualify for reduced per-unit fees.
Franchisees pay a royalty of 6% of gross sales. This fee funds continuous operational support, system improvements, technology upgrades, and access to the 7Pie franchise network.
All franchisees contribute 2% of gross sales to the 7Pie Advertising Fund. These pooled dollars are used for brand-level marketing, digital campaigns, social media, promotional materials, and grand opening support for new locations. Local marketing efforts are in addition to this contribution.
Prospective franchisees should have a minimum of $150,000 in liquid, unencumbered capital and a minimum net worth of $400,000. These thresholds help ensure that you are positioned to open your location successfully and sustain operations through the initial ramp-up period.
The total estimated investment ranges from $350,000 to $750,000 depending on location, market, build-out requirements, and local construction costs. This range includes the franchise fee, leasehold improvements, equipment, signage, initial inventory, working capital, and pre-opening expenses. A detailed breakdown is provided in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
The standard franchise agreement has an initial term of 10 years, with renewal options available upon meeting performance and compliance standards. We are building long-term partnerships, not short-term transactions.
Prior restaurant experience is helpful but not required. What we look for is strong business acumen, leadership ability, financial readiness, and a genuine passion for hospitality. Our comprehensive training program is designed to give you the tools and knowledge needed to operate successfully regardless of your background.
Our initial training program covers all aspects of running a 7Pie location: dough production and pizza making, kitchen operations and food safety, front-of-house service standards, bar program management, POS and inventory systems, hiring and team management, marketing and community engagement, and financial reporting. Training takes place at our flagship location and concludes with on-site support during your grand opening.
7Pie does not directly provide financing, but we work with preferred lending partners and can connect you with SBA-qualified lenders who have experience financing restaurant franchise concepts. We also assist qualified veterans through the SBA Veterans Advantage Program.
Yes. We actively encourage qualified franchisees to develop multiple units in their market. Area development agreements allow you to secure exclusive rights to open multiple locations over an agreed timeline. Multi-unit operators receive reduced per-unit franchise fees and dedicated development support.
We are currently accepting inquiries from franchisees across the Southeast and beyond. Territory availability is assessed on a market-by-market basis. Protected territories are granted with each signed franchise agreement. Contact our franchise development team to discuss your target market.
Our commitment to you doesn't end at the grand opening. Ongoing support includes regular field visits and operational check-ins, access to the 7Pie franchisee portal with training resources and updates, ongoing marketing support and seasonal campaign assets, supply chain and vendor coordination, and an annual franchisee summit for networking, training, and brand updates.
Complete the franchise application at 7pie.pizza/franchise-application or contact our franchise development team directly. A team member will reach out within 48 hours. From there, we'll walk you through the discovery process, share our Franchise Disclosure Document, and help you determine if 7Pie is the right fit for your goals.

Franchise opportunities are limited. We are intentional about where — and with whom — we grow.
This isn't just a business opportunity. It's a chance to build something your community will love for generations.
