Lazzara's Pizza

The vendor opportunity at Lazzara's Pizza

Lazzara's Pizza is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in New York, operating a single company-owned unit as of its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand does not report any franchised locations in our corpus, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. For software vendors, the total addressable market is limited to this one location and its HQ leadership. The average unit volume is not published in the FDD, and no parent company is on file, indicating the brand is independently owned.

The royalty rate is set at 5.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years. While the brand's scale is minimal, the presence of mandated technology systems suggests a structured approach to operations that could interest vendors offering complementary tools.

Who controls software purchasing

According to Item 1 of the 2025 FDD, the two named executives are Tony Lazzara, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, and Sebastian Lazzara, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder. In a single-unit operation with no franchised locations, these co-founders are the de facto technology buyers. Any vendor pitch should be directed to this concentrated buying center at the brand's New York headquarters. There are no additional operators mapped in our corpus, so the decision-making path is unusually short.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD mandates two specific technology systems. The point-of-sale system is Lightspeed POS, provided by Lightspeed Commerce Inc. Additionally, the brand mandates Toast by Toast, Inc., a platform commonly used for restaurant operations including online ordering and kitchen management. No other mandated or recommended technology vendors are disclosed in the FDD. Vendors selling adjacent solutions—such as payroll, inventory management, or customer engagement platforms—should note that the existing stack is small but prescriptive, meaning any new tool would need to integrate with or replace these mandated systems.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the brand's procurement model—whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open purchasing framework—is not publicly disclosed. This lack of transparency means vendors must inquire directly about purchasing requirements during the sales process.

On the renewal side, Item 17 provides some clarity. Franchisees in good standing may renew their agreement for one additional 10-year term, or the length of the then-current lease term if shorter, subject to a renewal fee in effect at that time. With only one company-owned unit and no disclosed franchise expansion, the timing of any new software evaluation is not tied to a predictable franchise lifecycle. Vendors should monitor for any signals of growth or system upgrades from the brand's leadership.

How to read the Lazzara's Pizza FDD

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is the primary source for the facts presented here. It details the brand's executive team, mandated technology systems, fee structure, and renewal terms. Because the brand operates only one unit and does not disclose franchised locations, the FDD is notably thin on multi-unit operational data.
