Business Overview

An established Pizza Twist franchise (opened 2021) located in a busy shopping center near Walnut Creek, CA.

The brand benefits from franchise support and a simple, popular menu that resonates with families, students and evening diners.

Operational Details

The restaurant operates daily from 10:00 AM to 3:00 AM, capturing consistent lunch, dinner, and late-night traffic. It runs with a lean team of two full-time and one part-time employees, with the owner actively managing opening duties while staff handle closing shifts.
