Franchise Opportunities:
Introduction
Umbria Pizzeria and Umbria La Cucina Italiana offers customers a unique experience – the highest quality, authentic cuisine from the Umbria region of Italy combined with a soothing, old world atmosphere. It’s like being in the heart of Italy right here in Minnesota.
We go beyond the mere meal to offer our customers an experience – fresh ingredients, simple dishes, a wide range of choices, prompt friendly service, and a comfortable environment – services that make Umbria Pizzeria a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy delicious food with friends, family and business colleagues alike. We offer customers the very best in gourmet pizzas, pastas, salads, sandwiches, appetizers and desserts. Customers can eat in, have our food delivered or take advantage of our catering services for those special occasions.
Umbria Pizzeria offers a wonderful opportunity for interested entrepreneurs looking to invest in a truly unique business niche – a pizzeria with a “twist.” Pizzerias and Italian Restaurants are traditionally very popular with customers due to their relaxed atmospheres and savory menus. With Umbria, customers will find they’re getting all this and even more – a pizzeria that offers the twist of truly gourmet food, real old world charm and the bonus of a catering service.
We believe that utilization of the business formula we have established, together with the training and unique menu we have currently developed, will allow franchises to experience significant profitability.
