Successful History
"The difference between a successful person and others is not the lack strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will" - Vince Lombardi
We started our business with one mission in mind - to give the community the best pizza at the best price. We have since gone on to win the following awards for our efforts. We want to continue to raise the bar and bring pizza back from the culinary backwater that the corporate chains have pushed it into. We know that YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL! The best pizza AND the best prices!

Our Company
"You gotta be first, best, or different." - Loretta Lynn
"Blame no one, expect nothing, do something." - Bill Parcells
Our company is only as good as each and every associate that works here. We take great care in hiring the right people for the job. Our associates are the best of the best. They are trained with our standards program and undergo Navy Seal Training. Two weekends out of the year they undergo Marine Corps training at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Seriously folks, you have to be good to work at Avalanche Pizza! We make over 110,000 pizzas each year in one store - and that's just pizza! We focus our standards on cleanliness, customer service and culinary acumen. We are not a chain and have total disdain for the corporate entities that would rather tell local consumers what is good for them instead of giving them value, choice and quality up front!
We are the little guy and our customers are little guys! Little guys rule baby!!! Viva la Avalanche Pizza Revolution!!
