Johnny Pavlik came into the pizza industry like the average teenager. A delivery boy for a local pizzeria, making minimum wage plus tips, the job was nothing special, but to Johnny it would be the start of a Pizza Empire and social media stardom.
Johnny worked every position you could work in Pizza, delivery, front and back of house, manager, cook, you name it, he’s worked it.
So, in 2004 when he moved to North Carolina, he did what every person that loves pizza as much as he does dreams of doing… He opened up his own pizzeria.
One turned into two which turned into four, Johnny now owns and operates locations in Cary, Apex, Wake Forest and Fuquay-Varina. His pizzerias are the shining example of what’s possible for independent pizza owners. Johnny regularly participates in community events that benefit everyone from students, to veterans to women empowerment groups. His mission now is to show the world that independent pizza is always superior, not only because of the taste and quality, but because Independent pizza owners care about their communities more than any big chain ever could.
With a following of over 300,000 people, regular celebrity and influencer partnerships, and even a sponsorship for the energy drink Rockstar, Johnny has positioned himself to become the most well known independent pizza owner In the country, and he’s just getting started.
