Share on Reddit Business Description
Pizza Post is a long-standing independent pizza restaurant in Sloan, Iowa, with deep community roots and approximately 25 years under current ownership. For generations, local families have grown up eating Pizza Post, and the restaurant has developed a loyal customer base extending well beyond Sloan into the surrounding communities.
Pizza and breadsticks are the signature products, supported by made-from-scratch dough and other in-house preparation. The business has a particularly strong carryout following, historically representing approximately 80% of sales and more recently closer to 70%, while dine-in traffic has been increasing.
Pizza Post has operated largely on reputation, repeat customers and word of mouth. This creates meaningful opportunity for a new owner willing to more actively market the restaurant through social media, digital advertising, community outreach and promotions.
Additional growth opportunities include increasing dine-in traffic and related beverage, ice cream and entertainment sales; developing catering more intentionally; and expanding the menu. Equipment for additional offerings such as chicken and fries is already on site.
The restaurant has also received several recent cosmetic improvements, including updates to the front portion of the restaurant, new interior murals and a newer exterior sign. Based on year-to-date results, 2026 sales are on pace to exceed 2025 revenue.
The $290,000 asking price consists of $115,000 for the operating business and $175,000 for the real estate at 411 Evans St. While separately valued, ownership anticipates the business and real estate will be sold together. Food inventory and consumable operating supplies, estimated at approximately $8,000, are additional to the asking price and will be determined by final count and negotiation at closing.
The owners are ready to retire after approximately 25 years of ownership and are willing to provide substantial transition assistance to help a new owner preserve the recipes, quality and traditions that have made Pizza Post a fixture in the community.
