Pizza Patron

In 1986, we started a pizza place that brought the tastes, language and vibe from our Latino culture and called it Pizza Pizza. It was a pizza shop where it didn't matter where you came from (or how long you've been here), where a diverse history could be celebrated. Soon after, we changed our name to Pizza Patrón and a legacy was bornWe quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Bringing our obsession to better tasting pizza, one-of-a-kind style and commitment to serve every community with flavors from our culture, we franchised, brought the Patrón to the whole country. People like the better taste of our pizza and our unique style and approach to the pizza industry. We started accepting pesos for our pies and launched our stores into the national spotlight. As the nation digested our unique way of serving every community with a handmade pizza with the flavor of our culture, we franchised our stores and brought the Patrón to the country.
