Figures quoted as Pizza Pizza writes them. A row marked “Not published” means the figure was not on the pages we read — not that there is no such fee.
What the figures include
Pizza Pizza says the purchase “covers your rights to use the Pizza Pizza brand, your location and setup, your training, and more”, and that the total investment depends on the opportunity. It does not say whether the investment range includes working capital, so ask. The same page asks for a minimum of 30% of the total investment as unencumbered cash, at least $150,000.00 or more, a minimum net worth of $250,000 and a credit score of 730 or more with no past bankruptcies. For a resale, ask the seller how the asking price compares with this range and what it includes.
Royalty and advertising
Neither rate is on the pages we read. Pizza Pizza’s answers page says only that it “invests significantly each year on promotional and advertising programs” and gives no percentage. In Ontario and British Columbia, where disclosure applies and subject to each Act’s exceptions, the prospective franchisee must receive the disclosure document at least 14 days before the earlier of signing the franchise agreement or any other agreement relating to the franchise and paying any consideration relating to the franchise to the franchisor or its associate. Ask for the disclosure document for the royalty and advertising rates before relying on any figure here. See what disclosure a resale buyer gets.
Financing a Pizza Pizza purchase
Pizza Pizza says the buyer needs the cash or financing from a financial institution and publishes no lender programme on the pages read. For the financing routes to ask about, see can a franchise purchase be financed?

* Average, per the franchisor. Subway’s fee is quoted from its Canadian FAQ; Pizza Pizza’s from its franchising basics page; Boston Pizza’s is for its traditional format and is “plus applicable taxes”. Country Style’s cost answers were placeholder text when read and are not quoted.
About the Canadian Franchise Association listing
CFA’s directory lists Pizza Pizza as a member since 2002. CFA’s entry gives its own investment, unit-count and training figures, which differ from Pizza Pizza’s own pages, so this page quotes the franchisor and uses CFA for membership only.
