I’m seriously very excited about Pizza Fusion!  Why you might ask?  Well, its not because I believe pizza is the healthiest of foods (but hey, they do also serve my favorite….salad), but because until now there has truly been a void in the fast food industry for some good quality (organic) eats.  Where can you just go grab (or have delivered) a salad packed with only fresh organic ingredients or an indulgent cheesey piece of bread made with gluten-free multi-grain organic flour, certified organic pizza sauce and meat (if you do partake) that is certified organic, free of pesticides and hormones or chicken that is all-natural and free range??? 

I absolutely love all the eco-initiatives that have set in place from the 100% certified organic cotton uniforms the employees wear, to their hybrid vehicles for deliveries, to their LEED certified restaurants and purchase of renewable energy certificates to offset 100% of their power consumption.  And I very much identify with and appreciate their “all or nothing” approach.  (Afterall, if you’re going to do it, then do it right and in full force and if you’re not then you might as well not do it at all). 

From their website: “For every decision there is a right way and a wrong way to approach things.  Pizza Fusion operates on the belief that social responsibility is just as important as profitability.  Where some businesses cut corners for their own benefit, Pizza Fusion goes the extra mile to do the best thing for everyone – the customer, the environment, the employee and the business owner.”

Just announced today, Pizza Fusion has appointed Mark Begelman as CEO to steer the company through an aggressive national franchise expansion. Begelman, former President of Office Depot who was twice named Ernst and Young’s “Entrepreneur of the Year” and named Financial News’ “CEO of the Year,” will oversee Pizza Fusion’s growth as the company moves ahead with their plans to open 500 U.S. franchises over the next five years. “What attracted me most to Pizza Fusion was their menu… it’s the best tasting pizza I’ve ever eaten,” Begelman explains.  “Pizza Fusion offers delicious food with a purpose.”
