Learn more about the We, The Pizza franchise brand.
How it started… The Mendelsohn family opened the first We, The Pizza on Capitol Hill in 2010, bringing generations of restaurant experience and a simple mission: chef-driven pizza by the slice with personality and purpose.
Guests loved us for the quality ingredients, the open-kitchen vibe, and the Mendelsohn family’s commitment to community. Handcrafted sodas. Bold wings. Chef-crafted pies. We, The Pizza quickly became a Capitol Hill landmark.
We expanded across different locations in DC, Virginia, and Florida. Each one stayed true to the original mission: chef-driven food, flexible formats, and a brand that’s all about giving back.
Today… we’re bringing this opportunity to franchise owners who want real credibility, guest loyalty, and a platform built for growth.
