Known for 'two-for-one' pizzas ('Pizza! Pizza!'). Sales grew from $340 million in 1985 to $2.15 billion in 1993, then slipped to $2 billion in 1994.
The Madison-area franchises, first opened in 1982, all closed on July 23–24, 1996 when the company cut off supplies to the franchisee; only a pizza station inside the East Washington Avenue Kmart remained. The chain came back in November 2004 at 2833 E. Washington Ave.
