Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza

Join one of America’s most exciting and authentic pizza concepts in a $54.5 billion industry. Since
2010, we’ve been serving legendary New Haven–style pizza over 900 miles away from its birthplace
and have perfected a proven business model built for growth. With a foundation of well-established
operational systems, expert franchisor support, and a product that inspires passionate loyalty, Ah-Beetz
offers a truly unique opportunity to own a slice of a thriving market.
Our franchise program provides two flexible models to fit your goals and market: the compact “To Go
Pizzeria – Urban Model” (approximately 1,200 sq. ft.) for fast setup and lower startup costs, and the “Sit
Down Pizzeria – Suburban Model” (around 2,200 sq. ft.) for a full dining experience. Both formats are
designed for scalability, with a minimum commitment of four locations to ensure operational efficiency
and brand consistency. Whether you’re an experienced operator or an executive owner seeking a
