An American Success Story Since 2016
Born in a Small Town. Built for Small Towns.
Ben's Brick Oven Pizza opened in November 2016 in Hudson, Colorado — a small community northeast of Denver. From that single location, it earned national recognition, built a fiercely loyal following, and established a track record of profitability that the corporate team insisted on proving before ever offering a single franchise.
That discipline is what makes this opportunity different. You're not buying into an untested concept. You're stepping into a proven system with documented results, award-winning recipes, and a brand that resonates deeply in exactly the communities where it has the most room to grow.
Our authentic Italian brick oven bakes premium pizza in just 3–4 minutes, at an affordable price with no extra charge for additional toppings — a model that drives repeat visits and turns first-time customers into regulars for life.

The Untapped Market
Why Small Towns Are the Smartest Play in Pizza Franchising
The franchise industry has over-indexed on urban markets for years. That's your advantage.
Less Competition, More Loyalty
In a small town, you're not the fifteenth pizza option — you're often the first authentic, quality brick oven experience the community has ever had. That positioning generates the kind of loyalty that national chains can't buy.
Lower Real Estate Costs
Commercial real estate in small and mid-sized communities is dramatically less expensive than urban or suburban markets, reducing your build-out costs and monthly overhead — improving your path to profitability from the start.
Word Travels Fast
Small-town customers who love your pizza tell everyone they know. With 2,621+ five-star reviews proving the product speaks for itself, your location can become the most talked-about restaurant in your community within its first year.
Community Gathering Space
Ben's large, inviting dining room is designed to be more than a restaurant — it becomes the place where birthdays are celebrated, where sports teams gather, and where neighbors connect. That role is irreplaceable in a small town.
Exclusive Territory Protection
Every Ben's Brick Oven Pizza franchise comes with an exclusive territory, ensuring that once you plant your flag in your community, no other franchisee can enter your market.
First Mover Advantage
Ben's entered the franchise market in 2024. The vast majority of small-town territories across the US remain wide open. Early franchisees capture the biggest advantages as the brand grows its national footprint.
Affordable Pizza Franchise Opportunities
Understanding Your Investment
Ben's Brick Oven Pizza offers one of the most accessible entry points in the brick-and-mortar pizza franchise space. Compared to the seven-figure requirements of many national pizza chains, Ben's presents a realistic, attainable threshold for qualified entrepreneurs ready to invest in their community.
In small-town markets where commercial real estate costs are significantly lower, your total investment and break-even timeline can be considerably more favorable than national averages suggest. Exclusive territories and ongoing corporate support further protect your investment over the full franchise agreement term, which is renewable.
