There are several successful pizza shops but none of them have what we offer. They simply are not “UNIQUE”. The first Unique Pizza and Subs opened in Millvale, Pennsylvania under the management of Mr. Vowler. There are 18 pizza shops in Millvale’s immediate delivery area and another 12 shops that deliver from outside the area. He chose Millvale for this first location to prove to himself that if Unique Pizza and Subs could be successful there, it would be successful anywhere. We have now opened several locations and are able to offer expansion opportunities through franchisees. The expertise which Mr. Vowler acquired is provided to all franchisees.
