PMQ Pizza Magazine Pizza Factory / Facebook Pizza Factory Aims to Build New Stores With Smaller Footprints The new Pizza Factory Express will be designed for optimized carryout and delivery and affordability for new franchisees. The Pizza Factory Express model starts at 1,000 square feet and eliminates many of the operating expenses of larger restaurant prototypes. The Oakhurst, California-based chain hopes to make it more affordable for new franchisees to open stores in other western states. Pizza Factory recently announced a strategic partnership with San Francisco-based Rubber and Road Creative to conceptualize a new Pizza Factory Express design that would capitalize on the growing demand for off-premise dining options. The reimagined design would also make it easier for new franchisees to afford to open their first Pizza Factory store.
