Pizza Goes Green

Pizza Fusion—it’s not a pizza with Asian ingredients piled on top. It’s a natural and organic pizza franchise giving back to the environment with eco-friendly operations—and it’s making big news on CNN and Entrepreneur magazine. The menu includes sandwiches, wraps, salads, desserts, beer and wine, all made with fresh, all-natural and organic ingredients. But the house specialty is organic, gourmet pizza made with high-quality toppings and a variety of crusts, such as gluten-free or multi-grain. Vegans aren’t forgotten with the Very Vegan Pizza Pie and those with lactose intolerance can order Follow Your Heart Soy Mozzarella option.

Every detail of the operation is positive for the earth: Each franchise uses eco-friendly cleaners to sanitize their stores; provides eco-apparel, such as organic cotton uniforms to their employees; uses recycled products whenever possible and recycles all of the wastes; and uses company-owned hybrids as delivery vehicles.
