History
In 1958, two Texas brothers, F.J. (Joe) and R. L. Spillman,[4] opened the first Pizza Inn in Dallas.
In the mid-1980s, the restaurant chain had a commercial deal with the Von Erich family, with Kerry Von Erich, Kevin Von Erich, and Mike Von Erich appearing in a series of televised commercials. [1]
In June 2011, Pizza Inn launched the fast casual restaurant Pie Five Pizza, which specializes in customizable pizzas that are made within five minutes, in Fort Worth, Texas.[1][5] They had five locations within the Fort Worth area by the end of the year.[5] As of January 2015, they had 31 locations.[5]
In October 2011, Pizza Inn opened their first of five planned Chinese locations in Hangzhou, China.[6]
Former PepsiCo and Yum! Brands executive Randy Gier joined the company in 2012. He served as CEO until 2016.[7][8]
On January 9, 2015, the parent company Pizza Inn Holdings (ticker symbol: "PZZI") was rebranded as a portfolio company named Rave Restaurant Group (ticker symbol: "RAVE") as Pie Five Pizza locations began to increase.[5]
In May 2018, Rave Restaurant Group opened its first PIE by Pizza Inn Express pizza kiosks with Delaware North at the Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport.[2][9]
On February 5, 2021, Pizza Inn reported improving sales amid hectic environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
