Patelmo’s Pizzeria, a single-unit pizza restaurant in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is ready to expand its franchising program, introducing its Sicilian pizza to new markets.
According to Thomas Amodei, CEO of Patelmo’s Pizzeria, the expansion reflects the company’s commitment to growth while adhering to its core values. “The mission has always been to serve high-quality, authentic Sicilian pizza while fostering strong community connections,” Amodei said in a press release. “Over the years, increasing interest from customers and aspiring business owners has highlighted the demand for Patelmo’s in new markets. Franchising presents a way to meet that demand while maintaining quality and consistency.”
The franchise model incorporates a multifaceted revenue structure, including dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering services, providing flexibility for operators to tailor services to their local markets. To ensure consistency across all franchise locations, Patelmo’s said it implements strict preparation guidelines and relies on trusted suppliers to deliver high-quality ingredients. Ongoing training is an integral part of the program.
“We’re very hands-on,” Amodei told EIN Newswires. “New franchisees go through two weeks of training at one of our established locations, where they learn everything from crafting the perfect crust to managing day-to-day operations. After that, we spend two weeks on-site with them at their location, guiding them through the launch process. But it doesn’t stop there. We provide ongoing marketing support, operational guidance and growth strategies to ensure long-term success.”
Amodei said Patelmo’s has seen consistent growth in recent years, expanding business by 20% between 2021 and 2024. “People want more than just a slice,” he said. “They want an experience, and Patelmo’s delivers that. Our loyal customer base keeps coming back because they know they’re getting something special.”
He added, “This franchise expansion is just the beginning. I envision Patelmo’s becoming a household name in cities and towns across the country, delivering that authentic, handcrafted taste of Sicily to more and more people.”
