Want to own the best and up and coming pizza franchise on the West Coast? Or maybe you want to start your own brand? This opportunity is not one to miss. My clients have put in over $300k in building this pizzeria. It’s the perfect turn-key operation if you want to make some real dough. Area Demographics Located In El Dorado County, with a high per capita income, low high rates, and huge economic growth, this is a premier place to live in the Sacramento region. Things to look for in a pizzeria in California Visibility-This location is in a clean, very visible, newer retail complex Quality of kitchen- Everything is mostly brand new and all renovation has passed safety inspections. Recipe- At the moment, this is an Indian fusion style pizzeria, but the owners have an agreement with the franchise, wherein a new owner can come in with their own concept if they choose to, or they can continue to run with the franchise brand. Competition-There are eight other locations in a 10 mile radius that are pizzerias but they don’t offer what this pizzeria has. It caters to people that want to break from the normal franchise pizzas or standard cardboard pizzas. Other things to take into consideration According to recent data, the average annual sales for a pizza shop in the United States is around $600,000, with the entire pizza industry generating close to $46 billion in sales annually; however, this can vary depending on factors like location and whether the shop is a chain or independent operation. This pizzeria can easily hit those numbers. On average, a large wholesale pizza costs around $2 - $3 to make, depending on the quality of ingredients, bulk purchasing power, and specific recipe used. The average price of a large pizza in California at the moment is $21.00. That comes out to a 600% profit. At this time, the seller is only doing about $20k a month without any advertising and very minimal labor. This pizzeria can accomplish the numbers above, all it needs is someone with an entrepreneurial spirit to come in and take over. Asking price of $150k. VERY MOTIVATED SELLER. Please bring all serious offers. No information will be shared without a signed NDA. Please be discreet when visiting the site and don’t speak to the employees.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Cash-heavy businesses invite optimistic numbers; verify reported revenue against the processor and the returns before you trust a figure.
Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
