WEST CHESTER, PA — Patelmo’s Pizzeria, a family-owned brand renowned for its Sicilian roots and authentic recipes, has revealed plans to expand through a national franchising program. The pizzeria, which began as a small neighborhood staple, is set to share its legacy of traditional flavors and community-focused dining on a larger scale.
“Our mission has always been about bringing people together over great food,” said CEO Thomas Amodei. “Franchising felt like a natural next step to share the flavors of Sicily with more communities across the U.S. By offering franchise opportunities, we’re inviting entrepreneurs to join our family and become ambassadors of our culinary legacy.”
A Franchise Model Focused on Success
According to Amodei, Patelmo’s franchise model is built on three main pillars. “First, authenticity—franchisees will serve recipes crafted with the same care and tradition that have defined Patelmo’s from the start. Second, support—we provide comprehensive training, marketing assistance, and ongoing operational guidance to ensure every franchisee has the tools they need to succeed. Third, flexibility—we offer diverse revenue streams, including dine-in, delivery, takeout, and catering, so franchisees can adapt to their local market needs.”
The emphasis on these pillars ensures that franchisees are well-equipped to establish a presence in their communities while staying true to the company’s Sicilian heritage.
Balancing Tradition and Innovation
While grounded in its rich Sicilian roots, Patelmo’s is committed to evolving with the modern dining landscape. “We’re very intentional about staying true to our roots,” Amodei said. “Every pizza we serve reflects the authenticity and flavor of Sicily. At the same time, we understand the importance of evolving with the industry, whether it’s through innovative menu options, technology for smoother operations, or marketing strategies to engage a modern audience. It’s all about balance—preserving tradition while embracing opportunities for growth.”
Welcoming New Partners to the Patelmo’s Family
The franchise program is designed for entrepreneurs who share the company’s passion for crafting quality food and building strong community connections. “We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about great food and fostering community connections,” Amodei explained. “This isn’t just about running a business; it’s about becoming part of a family dedicated to quality and tradition. We want partners who share our vision and are excited to carry on the Patelmo’s legacy in their own communities.”
A Recipe for the Future
Amodei is optimistic about the future of Patelmo’s as the franchise model rolls out. “What excites me most is seeing the joy our food brings to people and knowing that we can share that on a much larger scale. With our franchise program, we’re creating opportunities for others to succeed while keeping our Sicilian heritage alive. It’s incredibly rewarding to think about the impact Patelmo’s can have in communities across the country.”
Looking Ahead
Patelmo’s expansion into franchising marks a pivotal chapter in the company’s story. By combining a time-honored culinary tradition with a forward-looking business model, Patelmo’s is poised to bring its authentic Sicilian flavors to tables across the U.S. The brand’s commitment to quality, tradition, and community positions it for lasting growth and success in the competitive dining industry.
