SALVATORÉ FRANCHISING PROGRAM

BECOME A SALVATORÉ FRANCHISEE

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Founded in 1964 by Mr. Salvatoré Abbatiello, a young post-war Italian immigrant, Pizza Salvatoré is recognized as #1 in the delivery of pizzas and poutines in the markets in which it is established.

The group currently operates over 75 branches in four Canadian provinces.

Pizza Salvatoré specializes in the delivery of pizzas and poutines. The chain is best known for its mozzarella cheese-stuffed crust pizzas and decadent poutines made with fresh cheese of the day.

Pizza Salvatoré has made it a point, for 3 generations, to be actively involved in communities in all regions where you can taste a delicious Salvatoré pizza.

PRESIDENT’S WORD

Having myself worked for more than 15 years in pizzeria operations starting as a cook, then delivery person, branch manager, franchisee, multi-franchisee of 10 branches at the age of 26, development manager and president, my journey has allowed me to understand that the success of an entrepreneur comes from his ability to surround himself with the best people, as well as to accompany each of them to always exceed their objectives.

When my brothers, sisters and I decided to begin our expansion phase, we had no idea that 2 years later, Salvatoré would be recognized as the fastest growing fast food chain in Canada!

We are now present in 4 Canadian provinces and despite the operational simplicity of the concept, Salvatoré managed to generate the highest average sales per pizzeria in Canada!

While keeping the essence of our family business, the objective of the Salvatoré Group is now to become a leading Pan-Canadian company.

Thank you very much for your interest in our banner. Looking forward to having business together!

THE STORY OF PIZZA SALVATORÉ

	THE FIRST GENERATION Salvatoré Abbatiello, a young Italian immigrant, arrived in Montreal after the Second World War and met Angèle Fecteau, a beauceronne who was then working as a seamstress in the metropolis. It was during a New Year’s Eve with his in-laws in an old Beauce house full of people, that Salvatoré introduced an Italian dish then unknown at the time: pizza. Like everyone who tastes pizza: they loved it and even encouraged the couple to open their own restaurant. The couple therefore moved closer to Mrs. Abbatiello’s family by settling in Saint-Georges de Beauce where the first pizzeria opened its doors in the spring of 1964.
	THE SECOND  GENERATION Angèle and Salvatoré Abbatiello had 7 children whom they raised on the 2nd floor of their restaurant. Once they reached adulthood, the 2nd generation took over the family restaurant and developed a franchise network of 13 units.
	THE THIRD  GENERATION Mr. Guillaume Abbatiello, then the sole owner of the company, sold all of his shares to his 5 children in September 2018. Having evolved in the kitchen of pizzerias from the start of their adolescence, the 5 brothers and sisters have always known that they too wanted to get involved in order to ensure the stability and growth of the company. After becoming familiar with the operations of the Service Center, the 3rd generation undertook, with the help of its team, a major expansion phase in September 2020 at the rate of one new opening per month. In April 2021, seeing that all the departments were under control and that the restaurants were performing well, the pace was accelerated to opening every 14 days. A highlight to note was in March 2022, the Quebec banner set up its first restaurant outside the province in New Brunswick. Finally, it is in 2023 that Pizza Salvatoré is recognized as the fastest growing fast food chain in Canada! More than 2,000 team members are now part of the big Salvatoré family!
