July 9, 2007 - Orlando, Fla. – Pizzeria Valdiano, named “Best Pizza in Orlando” by the readers of the Orlando Sentinel for four consecutive years, has announced that it is franchising its restaurant.

Family-owned and operated Pizzeria Valdiano, is a neighborhood pizzeria found in high-traffic lifestyle shopping centers anchored by movie theaters. The recipes are authentic original hand-made creations that the owners have developed and perfected over the past 30 years.

Pizzeria Valdiano has created a real New York-style pizzeria in a fast, casual atmosphere with a high-end look and feel that is unlike any other pizzeria being franchised today. With more than 30 specialty pies, pizza by the slice, stromboli, subs, salads, pastries, espresso and more, Pizzeria Valdiano makes it easy for families wanting to grab a bite to eat before or after the movies or as a special trip.

“We have had numerous requests by landlords wanting to bring our pizzeria to their community,” said Joe Liguori, president, Pizzeria Valdiano. “We felt franchising was the next logical step and the best opportunity to grow the business and meet the demand.”

Currently, Pizzeria Valdiano has locations in Winter Park; Baldwin Park in Orlando, Fla.; Pointe*Orlando; and Lakeside Village in Lakeland, Fla. They are franchising the Baldwin Park location as well as starting to sell franchises in Florida and the Southeast United States.
