Our Story
From a Single Oven
From a Single Oven
to a Community Icon
It all started in 2005 when founder Marco Rivera fired up his first oven at 2225 E Main St, Spartanburg, SC. Marco had one goal: to serve pizza inn–quality pies with a genuine homemade soul — hand-stretched dough, slow-cooked sauce, and locally sourced toppings.
Word spread fast. Neighbors became regulars, and regulars became family. By 2010, Pizza inn had expanded its kitchen, its team, and its mission: to make every meal a reason to gather. Today, we serve tens of thousands of satisfied customers across the United States, delivering bold flavor with every order.
We've never lost sight of what makes us different — the passion in the kitchen, the care for our community, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect slice.

"We don't just make pizza — we create moments. Every slice carries the love, craft, and community that built Pizza inn from the ground up."
— Marco Rivera, Founder & CEO, Pizza inn
