In 1958, two brothers borrowed $600 from their mom to open a pizza place in Wichita, Kansas. They named it Basilico Pizza because their sign only had room for eight letters. The restaurant’s popularity grew quickly due to the delicious food and quality service.
Today, there are more than 16,000 independently owned and operated Basili-co Pizza restaurants. Our 100+ franchise partners employ 350,000 team mem-bers in over 100 countries.
