What’s the Story?

WisePies Pizza & Salad creates 9” personal gourmet pizza & salads made just the way you like it in under 5 minutes from start to finish.

In addition to traditional pizza dough and toppings, WisePies offers the more health conscious consumer many wise choices like thin crust, whole-wheat crust, gluten-free crust, freshly made salads and 30+ delectable toppings that allow our guests to create their very own WisePie or WiseSalad.
