Whoever said the store owner made $30-50k a month needs to get real. No way someone makes that much for owning even multiple pizza shops. From my experience, a quality mom n pop makes around $6-8k at most net net but prepare to work your ass off. It is just not worth it when you convert that into $$/hour.

sounds like a lot of people replied before seeing this is a 7 year old thread.

Pizza was different then. Easier to make $100k a week back in the good old days of a recession. (because people eat more pizza because it's multiple meals)

My BILIL was a reasonably successful lawyer, then got a loan from his parents to take over a long-standing mom-pop Italian place. The whole family ended up "helping" Thurs-Sun nights working for dinner, and they STILL had to get out and he went back to his practice. After 4+ years of that struggle, he took us all on a cruise as his first vacation.
I felt bad for the people who bought it, because they didn't have as large a family to help out. Now that space is for lease, after changing thru 2 different other food types.
THIS!!! I had mine from 2003 thru 2007. I didn't even realize I had been working straight for 365 days (10am - 10pm) that my wife knocked on the door one morning and when I opened the door and asked why she wasn't at work, she replied: "I'm giving you your first day off on your birthday. Go play golf". I was profitable right off the 1st year (I had saved enough that I didn't have a single loan building out the restaurant). The income was enough for my family of 6, but the wife still needed to work for us to have medical/dental/vision insurance.

I had brought in the idea of "Cicis" to the greater L.A. area. For not being a known-brand, it is difficult to get it off the ground. I have heard that around 92-94% of first time owners do not make it. I guess I'm one of the lucky 8%. I eventually sold it to someone who had 2 Baskin Robbins and 3 ToGo's sandwich shop. He liked my concept and he wanted to try his hands in pizza. Let me tell you, I was out of there like a bat out of hell. My only gripe was the hours you will invest in it as a start-up. I regret the soccer/softball/baseball/taekwondo events that I missed. Those you can never get back.

My neighbor spent $500k remodeling a building he rents.
Very busy, dense area.
25% orders over the counter/ 75% thru computer
1500 deliveries/week, lunch and dinner lines out the door
has 10 delivery guys Fri and Sat nights
Owners- him and his brother, 1 must be present always or your employees will rip you off
Each work 3.5 days a week, days are 10am till 2am (16 hour day) and they split one day.
Biggest problem and hassle are the $10-12/hr employees
He makes good money, and works very hard for it.
I estimate $8-10k/day thru the register.
Has 3 different cheesesteak meat suppliers in case one is short.
Double orders supplies on busy weekends/holidays and still sells out.

He just bought a ZL-1, sold his ZR-1. Never drive them.

Most small restaurants like a pizza joint, subway, yogurt shop, etc....depending on locations...usually do 20-30k per location per year. You can reach higher levels of income with a better location, but a small shop with good traffic makes about that. If you want to get rich off making pizzas...you're going to need multiple locations.

When I visited Newport, Rhode Island, I did takeout from a large pizza shop. They were "cash only". My first thought was, "money laundering for the Mafia". But then, we all know there is no Mafia in Rhode Island...

We owned a place called Italian Graffiti in Fells Point Baltimore. It did pretty well and margin on pizza is decent. Closed now.

Anyone know how to get into a Dominos? For the life of me, I cannot figure how. Usually franchises want to link up with one of there area operators or something.

I am thinking about how important is location,does it have to be the best location money can buy or pizza place is a destination by itself in that case location is less important.
I know an ethnic restaurant in chicago burbs surrounded by businesses and truck loading docks and its doing great because its a destination.
