Our Story
A Passion for Pizza Inn That Started at Home
Pizza inn was born in 2008 from a simple belief: that real, authentic pizza inn food — made with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and genuine care — deserves a place at everyone's table.
Our founder, Marcus Rivera, grew up watching his grandmother craft handmade pizza dough from scratch in their small Fayetteville kitchen. That love of tradition, quality, and community became the cornerstone of what would eventually become Pizza inn — one of the most recognized pizza inn names in the United States.
Starting with a single location at 2762 Huntsville Hwy Suite A in Fayetteville, TN, we quickly built a loyal following by staying true to our roots. Every ingredient is sourced thoughtfully, every recipe is tested meticulously, and every customer is treated like family.
Today, Pizza inn serves thousands of guests across the United States, but our heart still beats in that original kitchen. We're proud to carry on the tradition that started it all.
