Which pizza chain was founded first, Fox's Pizza Den or Pizzeria Venti?
Fox's Pizza Den Fox's Pizza Den is a pizzeria chain based in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, United States. It was founded in 1971 by Jim Fox in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, and currently has more than 250 locations in 28 U.S. states, all franchise-owned. Fox's Pizza Den has consistently ranked among the Top 25 pizza chains in the world. The Small Business Administration named Jim Fox as one of the country's top entrepreneurs during National Small Business Week, May 5–11, 2002. Since that time, many Fox's Franchises have closed due to a poor business model. The alarming rate of failure lead to the SBA discontinuing the lending of money for Fox's Franchises. Fox's Pizza was ranked "Best Pizza Franchise" in 2007.
Cicis Cicis (formerly named CiCi's Pizza) is an American buffet restaurant chain based in Coppell, Texas, specializing in pizza.
