Stoner's Pizza Joint offers delivery and takeout with a menu of fresh food prepared daily.

The chain operates delivery and takeout services, offering a menu of fresh, high-quality food prepared daily.

It uses proprietary recipes for its pizza dough, sauce and cheese blend, ensuring a distinctive taste experience for customers.

The menu includes speciality pizzas, calzones, strombolis, hickory-smoked chicken wings, freshly prepared salads and desserts.

Stoner's Pizza now operates 46 locations in six states across the US.

The brand's growth trajectory is rising steeply with 15 more locations in near-term development.

Its goal is to reach 100 locations by December 2025, supported by its successful franchising programme, which was launched in late 2018.

The programme came with a fresh branding initiative and a business model designed to withstand the dynamic changes in the food industry.

Founded in 2013, Stoner's Pizza Joint's franchising programme and its resilience in adapting to industry shifts have positioned the brand as a formidable player in the quick-service pizza sector.

Stoner's Pizza Joint chief operating officer Ashley Dempsey said: “We are ecstatic to open 5 new locations in the same week. The rapid expansion is a testament to the brand quality and strong operations team at Stoner's!”

In July 2024 the brand finalised agreements with four franchisees to open nine new locations across the US.
