Extreme Pizza is a privately held restaurant franchise chain specializing in conventional and California-style pizza, founded by Todd Parent[1] and Michael Pastor[2] in 1994 in San Francisco, California.[2] The chain currently includes over 30 locations in the United States; a previous location in Ireland has now closed. 24 franchises are located in Central California. Others are present in Portland, Oregon; Boise, Idaho; McAllen, Texas; Clearwater Beach, Florida; Grosse Pointe, Michigan; Wantage, New Jersey; and Charlottesville and Henrico, Virginia. Entrepreneur Ernest Harris has recently brought the franchise to Northern Virginia, opening locations in Pentagon City and Arlington County.[3] The company primarily sells pizza; other menu items include calzones, sandwiches, and salads.[4]

Description[]

Most West Coast restaurants have decor of extreme sports, such as photographs of extreme athletes and benches made out of snowboards.[5][6] In keeping with its extreme sports theme, Extreme Pizza was an early sponsor of the X Games.[7] According to the Seattle Times, Extreme Pizza is "lauded within the business world for its enlightened corporate policies and savvy extreme-sports sponsorships".[8]

East Coast restaurants have a different flavor, in keeping with the style of the locality. They are sleeker and more catered to their individual neighborhoods.
