With that in mind if you go to Amazon.com and search for pizza books, you will see 128,918 hits in the book category alone. Now all of those aren’t going to be specifically about making gourmet pizza, but that number alone is enough to prove the market for pizza books. Your target market really...

Yea the buffalo mozzarella from italy is way to expensive but i hear there are supplies here in the states that sell full buffalo mozzarella that is not mixed with cows milk. I think vermont, and Cali both have producers of this type of mozzarella. Another weird thing i thought of is using a...

Id have to agree with all ur posts, and if and when i do start up my own pizzeria when i say gourmet i mean i will probably only make the crusts and the sauce with out too much concern for costs. After that i may offer organic and non organic staple ingredients such as the pepperoni, sausage...

“Maybe I am way off here…but I am considering starting a shop, I have no idea how to effectively start up with less, and be successful at the same time. I am not expecting to be an instant hit, but at the same time I will be planning for it just in case” If you dont feel like advertising that...

Well i have found that i really dont see my self opening a pizza shop any time soon. Which brings me to another thought can you sell pizza recipes at an expo or something? Are pizza owners into that sort of thing? I was going to open a gourmet themed pizza place so im not sure if my pizza...

As I read your posts and other threads (about equipment choices, bread mixtures ect.) I am amazed at all the things i simply did not know. I had a 1st draft business plan done and was planning to get a loan from the bank within the next 6 months for a total of 50k (after I completed my research...

Wow, I really feel i have not figured in a great deal to start a “successful” pizza business. There seems to be a consensus that the more you spend on start up the greater the chance for success, and the faster the return. However I don’t yet understand the exact benefits of sending 250k on a...

That can’t be right 150k? I see entire pizza businesses online for sale starting at 50k, 60k, 70k. Granted there are far more that are over 100k but those are resturant style places with seating and a large staff. But the delivery only business for 70k come with equipment, location and customer...

Hey guys, i was wondering if i could get some educated estimates on the total start up cost of opening a pick up delivery only pizza business (Chicago area suburbs). I am a little shaky on a solid figure as i find that ovens can very from say 1,500 to 20k and the same with freezers, Mixers not...

Yea i would not be able to operate out of a rental kitchen as a substitue for owning a store front thats for sure. But i was hoping someone had some experience with selling pizzas through local markets or online or any other way that would allow me to rent the kitchen pre-make the pizzas...

Its not out of a home address its out of a rental kitchen. The Law prohibits food to be prepared in a home kitchen or a kitchen in an area which is also used as a residence. Other than that as long as you prepare the food in a kitchen that has been certified safe by a food inspector, anything...

Hey, I am not too sure how things are priced up in canada, I live in chicago my self so its one of the most expensive areas to live in the USA (10.25% sales tax and super high property tax to boot). But if you plan on getting started with 15k its doable from what i have researched but just...

Hey, I have also been doing research into buying pizza equipment. I have found several leasing options out there so if you don’t want to jump into buying crappy used stuff and there just isn’t any companies selling used stuff out by you then perhaps look into leasing, im sure you could do...

Thanks Tom and patriot, for your answers both are helpful and things I did not think of. I can’t believe I did not look into flee markets in Chicago I guess I just assumed there were none as I never saw one, and have been living in Chicago area my whole life (28yrs old). So gee I feel kind of...

Hi everyone, I would like to start a business selling pizzas in Chicago. I love making pizzas and have been experimenting with unusual and exotic toppings, dough mixtures, and sauces for several years now. Unfortunately my research into the pizza industry shows an estimated start up cost of...
