I Love Panzerotti is a brand founded in 2018 with the mission to export one of Italy’s most beloved food: the Panzerotto. It was born as a crowdfunded campaign among 170 Italian friends.

The Made in Italy Street Food Revolution is Here!

The I Love Panzerotti format lets you open a new, original and successful Italian food store!

The great value of I Love Panzerotti comes from the quality of products and raw materials (all with a controlled supply chain and of Italian origin), as well as from the ability of the management to know how to find the menu solutions most appreciated by customers.

In addition to this, the compactness of the menu in its regional specificity allows an effective optimization of the menu which favors a very high replicability.

What is Panzerotti?

Panzerotti are so Italian that there is no a real translation into English, like pasta, pizza or focaccia. They are prepared with a dough similar to that of pizza and are stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, closed to a half moon shape and then deep fried until golden brown.

A delight for the palate, to which it is hard to resist… one leads to another.

The recipe with tomato and mozzarella is classic but Panzerotti are very versatile and we offer them in 18 different combinations, including the sweet options like the Nutella, S'mores, or pistachio cream!

Furthermore, It also has a charitable vocation as each unit of food guarantees a daily meal to a child in need, with a small contribution of 10 USD Cents only, given to International charity Mary’s Meals, currently supporting more than 1.5 Million children daily.

Why join I Love Panzerotti?

ORIGINAL MENU AND HIGH-MARGIN PRODUCT

The panzerotto is a very original product in the rest of the world. It represents the real alternative to pizza which is a product that is by now inflated and highly competitive. The panzerotto is composed of the same raw materials as pizza and has the same high profit margin (a mark up is over 500%).

While there is a spread of pizza that makes the market saturated, the panzerotto is a food proposal that represents a different product. It looks a lot like pizza, but it’s not pizza. It is the alternative product compared to pizza, always remaining in the Made in Italy way of food.

ADAPTIVE FORMAT FOR ANY CONTEXT

I Love Panzerotti was born in the heart of Manhattan with a pure street food vocation. Customers, attracted by the brand, the novelty and the smells, have discovered a good and genuine product to eat on the spot or to take away.

This allowed a greater visibility of the brand and its offer, but also the possibility of adapting the format to different contexts: main roads, commercial galleries, tourist areas, etc. The I Love Panzerotti affiliate will be able to find a scalable format suitable for every reality in the world.

Who Doesn’t Love Panzerotto?

Panzerotti are so Italian that there is no a real translation into English, like pasta, pizza or focaccia. They are prepared with a dough similar to that of pizza and are stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, closed to a half moon shape and then deep fried until golden brown.

A delight for the palate, to which it is hard to resist… one leads to another. They trace back their origin to the peasant tradition of Apulia, in particular to Bari (a beautiful Medieval port city).

They are an example of how you can prepare an appetizing dish with a few simple ingredients.

We often confuse panzerotti and calzoni, and actually there really is a difference: panzerotti are fried, while calzoni are baked in the oven. The recipe with tomato and mozzarella is classic but Panzerotti are very versatile and we offer them in 18 different combinations, including the sweet options like the nutella, smores, or pistachio cream!

We also offer heart shaped panzerotti! for only $1 extra you get twice the dough and twice the love!
