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.
