History

Hunt Brothers Pizza was established in 1990 and is based in Nashville, Tennessee, although its roots go back to 1962 when four brothers from Evansville, Indiana – Don, Lonnie, Jim and Charlie Hunt – began a local wholesale food route named Pepe’s Pizza, which distributed par-baked pizza crusts and other pizza items to restaurants, taverns, bowling alleys and drive-in theaters[1] . The Hunt brothers grew up working in their father’s restaurant.

Corporate

Hunt Brothers Pizza is known for their “all toppings, no extra charge” tagline. Some of the products include: Lotsa Meat Pizza®, Veggie Pizza and Breakfast Pizza as well as limited time only options such as Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Hunt Brothers Pizza also offers Southern Style and Hot ‘n Spicy chicken bone-in wings and Home Style and Buffalo boneless WingBites®, a 100% all-white chicken breast meat bite-sized snack.

Hunt Brothers Pizza program was developed for convenience stores as food service destination within each store. The program has no franchise fees, royalty fees or advertising fees and offers marketing support to bring in high profit margins, a simple prepared consistent pizza as well as customizable point of sale presentations that complement the location’s existing footprint.
