Johnny Brusco’s New York Style Pizza was originally started more than 40 years ago in Manlius, NY. The pizza was so good that the concept became franchised in 1994, with locations now in seven states. There are four Johnny Brusco’s in Tennessee, with the only Knoxville location here in Markets at Choto.
Franchise owner, Jamie Garcia, notes that it took three years of exploring multiple pizza franchise opportunities before settling on Johnny Brusco’s. “One meeting with the CEO and Managing Partner for Johnny Brusco’s, and we were sold. The support, the experience, and, of course, the food, especially the extensive menu, really solidified that this was the right fit for our family and the West Knoxville community,” Garcia said.
Why did Garcia pick Markets At Choto for the new pizzeria location? “Johnny Brusco’s is a true neighborhood pizzeria. When we saw the growth taking place and little restaurant representation, we realized that this would be the perfect place for us to launch our first location. We truly want to engrain ourselves in the community and bring them along on our journey.”
So, next time you’re hungry for great pizza in a great family setting, look no further than Johnny Brusco’s. Call (865) 671-0403 or visit our website today.
