Donatos Pizza
We operate Donatos Pizza restaurants that serve fresh pizza, sandwiches, and other food items in a distinctive restaurant setting. Our restaurants are built around carry-out, pickup window, curbside service, dine-in, and delivery, with beer and liquor service available in some locations. We serve the general public throughout the year and compete in the pizza and quick-service restaurant market. We prepare and sell the menu items required for our system and follow established operating standards for how each restaurant runs. We also manufacture pizza dough that is supplied to our restaurants and other customers.
