Every year PMQ Pizza spotlights independent and multi-unit pizza brands with an inspirational success story to share in our annual Brands to Watch issue. Will your pizzeria or a brand you work for make the list in 2026?

You can nominate your single-unit pizza shop or small multi-unit brand (preferably 10 units or less) or submit any nominations to be considered at PMQ.com/brands. It’s a great way to get “discovered” by PMQ’s editors and to even be featured on a future PMQ Pizza cover!

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Innovative marketing and impactful storytelling
  • A compelling social media presence
  • Strong corporate culture and values
  • Proven dedication to the local community (or communities)
  • Unique concept and/or unique specialty menu items
  • High-resolution photos (minimum 300 dpi) are a huge plus!

Is your pizza shop making an impact on your community and the Pizza Community as a whole? Tell us about it TODAY, and let’s keep lifting each other up!
