Eric Wortham, the mastermind behind the Pizza World USA Franchise, has been in the pizza industry for a quarter of a century and fully understands how to develop a successful franchise that benefits both the head office and each individual franchisee. To that end, Pizza World USA Franchise charges a royalty rate of just 2.75 percent and charges franchisees absolutely nothing for marketing materials, which range from flyers and coupon advertisements to in-store posters and window clings. This represents an exceptional value when compared to royalty rates of 4 percent or 5 percent and marketing costs of 2 percent to 3 percent that other companies commonly charge their franchisees.

From its headquarters in Branson, Missouri, Mr. Wortham’s company has developed a menu that draws inspiration from around the globe. Customers can choose pizzas, flatbreads, calzones, baked pastas, salads, and sides that range from cheesy bread sticks to buffalo wings, with seven different sauces. They can also order a variety of oven-baked subs, such as the classic meatball sandwich and the spicy Thai chicken sub.
