The Pizza Nova story began in 1963 when a young Italian family opened the very rst Pizza Nova restaurant. Still family-owned, we have helped hundreds of families open and operate our 145+ locations across Ontario and specialize in hand-tossed, Artisan-style pizzas that are complemented by an extensive menu of proven favourites. Our 59+ years of success continues as a direct result of our uncompromising commitment to providing quality ingredients and product innovation. In 2015 we became the rst Canadian pizza company to introduce pepperoni sourced from beef and pork raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. We have since expanded our ‘Raised Without Antibiotics’ pro le to include bacon, chicken wings, chicken pollini, grilled chicken, and smoked ham. In 2021, we introduced the rst pea protein-based pepperoni as a plant-based alternative to our diverse menu, as well as plant-based chick’n bites, thus further expanding our reach to include vegans, vegetarians and exitarians alike. We provide comprehensive training, easy ordering from our HAACP approved commissary, location identi cation & design, operations support and innovative marketing initiatives that bring customers through your door. Pizza Nova is the Of cial Pizza of the Toronto Blue Jays™, Toronto International Film Festival, and the CNE.

The Food Issue

The past two years have been difficult ones for the food industry, with pandemic restrictions, labour shortages, and economic downturns presenting challenges for dining concepts. Despite all this, many franchises have continued to thrive—and even grow their business—in the food service space. It might have something to do with how much Canadians love dining out. Whether by drive-thru, delivery app, or in a sitdown dining room, customers across the country flock to their favourite franchise restaurants for the meals they love. In the September/October issue of Franchise Canada, we’ll spotlight some of these favourite brands, including a close look at Canadian-owned food service franchise systems that have their roots in this country. We’ll also take a look at QSR (quick service restaurant) franchises delivering international flavour to diners through global cuisines, and some new systems responding to consumer taste by bringing the flavours of Asia to Canada. We also highlight pizza franchises and cafés across the country. In addition, this issue will provide tips from experts on how to franchise your business, as well as advice for prospective franchisees on whether to invest in an emerging or established franchise brand. Check out the September/October issue for this content and more, including success stories from franchisees and expert advice from franchising professionals!

WATCH OUT FOR THESE EXCITING FEATURES IN OUR SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2022 ISSUE:*

CANADIAN-OWNED EATS: Our cover feature in this issue will showcase food service brands that have their roots in Canada. Every franchisee is a local business owner, and these homegrown franchise systems are also owned and operated in the country—and beloved by Canadians!

GLOBAL FOOD SERVICE FLAVOURS:

Multicultural tastes and a desire to “travel” through food have made international cuisines a popular category for consumers. For prospective franchisees interested in investing in a food service brand with far-flung flavour, we explore different franchise systems that pull recipes and inspiration from around the world. PIZZA PARTY: Simple, portable, and tasty, pizza has proved to be a perennial favourite for diners. For business owners, it’s a pandemicresistant food service industry that’s primed for delivery! We’ll highlight some of the many iconic franchise brands serving up pizza pies to their communities.
