Overview / Executive Summary Here’s the deal. Most restaurant owners fail because they’re playing the same game as everyone else: same menu, same marketing, same tired specials. This giant 54-by-54-inch pizza? It doesn’t just break the rules. It eats them. It’s bigger than a dorm room mattress and way more fun. People share it. They film it. They talk about it. It’s a party centerpiece that also happens to be a pizza. In a market where attention is half the battle, this thing wins before it even comes out of the oven.
Value Proposition This is not just food. It’s content. It’s community. It’s a conversation starter that gets delivered on a car roof. What we offer that others don’t: A giant pizza built for viral attention
A built-in social media strategy
A proven path to franchise scale
A way for pizza shops to stand out in an oversaturated market
While most restaurants beg for attention, this concept demands it.
Target Audience This business was built for: Millennials and Gen Z who spend more time on TikTok than watching TV
Event planners and birthday moms who want a jaw-dropper for their next party
Foodies and “dude look at this” types who chase novelty and post about it
Tourists and locals looking for something to remember
Franchise investors tired of boring concepts that don’t market themselves
The common thread? They want shareable moments that happen to taste good.
Market Landscape The pizza industry in the U.S. pulls in around $46 to $50 billion annually. There are about 77,000 pizza joints nationwide. On average, independent shops make $440K to $600K a year. Chains and franchises do even better. Here’s what matters: Pizza is reliable. It sells. Always has.
Net margins are solid at 10–20%, which beats most other food segments.
The market is oversaturated, but under-innovated.
The viral food economy is real, and novelty drives traffic.
This concept drops into a massive, proven category with a new twist.

Go-To-Market Strategy Here’s how we get this off the ground. Flagship Location: Pick a city with foot traffic and social media density. Think Austin, Nashville, or Vegas.
Launch Party: Invite local influencers. Livestream the first delivery. Capture content that’ll feed us for a month.
Delivery Drama: Use a branded car with a roof rack and film every single drop-off. Make the logistics part of the brand.
Referral Engine: Offer discounts for shares, tags, and video reviews. Turn every customer into a marketer.
Franchise-Ready: As soon as the first shop proves it works, spin up a slick franchise pitch deck and go get your next ten operators.
Monetization Plan Revenue streams: $400 Giant Pizza: Main event. The money-maker.
Delivery Fees: Premium charge for that rooftop ride.
Group Catering: Sports teams, birthdays, school events.
Merch: Branded shirts, hats, insulated pizza bags.
Franchise Licensing: Setup fees plus royalties.
Side Sales: Wings, desserts, drinks. Every big order needs a few extras.
One pizza, many ways to get paid.
