Revello’s Pizza

What Revello’s Pizza does

Revello's Pizza is a privately held, family-owned pizzeria founded in 1967 (originally as Pelosi's) and headquartered at 502 S. Main St. in Old Forge, Pennsylvania — a town the company and local lore describe as the "pizza capital of the world." The business produces traditional Old Forge-style pizza made from scratch in-house, including red and white pizzas (e.g., Broccoli White), alongside Italian specialties (spaghetti, ravioli, gnocchi, tripe), hot sandwiches, appetizers, salads, and beverages. Pricing is per-unit and low-ticket, ranging from $5 for a two-cut red pizza up to $19 for a tray, with no proprietary technology layer beyond a WordPress website and SliceLife-integrated online ordering offering a 5% discount.

The company monetizes through multiple channels: dine-in and takeout at the original Old Forge storefront; concession stands at Mohegan Sun Arena (Wilkes-Barre) and PNC Field (Moosic, as the "Official Pizza of the RailRiders"); a nationwide fresh-frozen pizza shipping program via UPS at $60–$120 per order (currently paused for summer); a fundraising program that lets local organizations earn up to $1,500 per day; and a franchise program for prospective owners, fronted by Pat Revello. Its customer base is predominantly long-tail local consumers and nationwide shipping buyers, with no disclosed enterprise anchors.

Operationally, Revello's runs lean — only six reported employees — and depends on long-tenured staff and family-led management rather than institutional capital or technology automation. There is no evidence of external funding, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or M&A activity. Distribution is the primary extension of the brand beyond a single kitchen, with venue partnerships and D2C shipping serving as the company's most material non-storefront revenue paths.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Blaze Pizza: Fast-casual pizza chain with a build-your-own model and franchise expansion. Comparable as a franchisable, multi-channel pizza concept, though differentiated by assembly-line service rather than heritage recipes.
• Pieology Pizzeria: Fast-casual, customizable pizza franchise that competes for the same franchise-operator customer and casual dining occasions as a scaled Revello's franchise system.
• &pizza: Fast-casual, design-forward pizza concept with a similar tech-forward ordering experience and franchise-style expansion, illustrating the kind of brand-driven pizza operator Revello's could evolve into.
• MOD Pizza: Fast-casual pizza franchise operator with a similar emphasis on community engagement (fundraising partnerships) and franchise-driven growth, making it a relevant emerging peer despite different style.

Broad incumbents

• Papa John's: National pizza chain with a franchised model and DTC nationwide delivery — useful comparator for the upper bound of Revello's franchise-and-shipping ambitions.
• Domino's Pizza: Largest pizza-focused QSR incumbent with national shipping, digital ordering, and franchise scale. Relevant as a benchmark for what a fully scaled pizza franchise + DTC delivery operation looks like.

Direct peers

• La Strada Pizza (Old Forge): Old Forge, PA pizzeria with overlapping menu (red/white pizza, Italian specialties) and the same dine-in/takeout model in the same micro-market.
• Pizza By Pappas: Old Forge, PA pizzeria offering classic Old Forge-style pizza trays (red and white) and Italian specialties. Directly comparable product mix and family-restaurant positioning to Revello's.
• Arcaro & Genell: Long-established Old Forge, PA pizzeria serving the same Old Forge-style red and white pizza tradition. Operates from the same town as Revello's, making it the closest geographic and product peer in the 'pizza capital of the world.'
• Vincenzo's Pizza (Old Forge): Another Old Forge, PA pizzeria in the same hyper-local cluster, competing head-to-head on authentic Old Forge-style pizza and traditional Italian-American menu items.
