Earlier in December, Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint has signed development agreement with franchisee Briann Welborn that will see the fast casual pizza franchise to expand into North Georgia. Welborn plans to open three locations in the Cumming, Dawsonville and Gainesville communities in the Forsyth and Hall counties.  He anticipates his first Uncle Maddio’s unit will open in mid-2014. The five year old create-your-own quick casual pizza chain reports that this is the 35th franchisee this year to sign on with Uncle Maddio’s. The franchise chain anticipates a banner year in 2014, as the company plans to open 35 new units with 165 additional locations in development. Based in Atlanta, Uncle Maddio’s has targeted Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Colorado, Tennessee, and Virginia. The restaurants offer a made-from-scratch individual pizza with up to three toppings, baked in six minutes.  Guests can choose one of three crusts, including a gluten-free option, and have the choice of 48 toppings including six sauces, 27 vegetables and 15 meats. A ‘take-and-bake’ option offers a quick family meal at home. The menu also features toasted Panini sandwiches and create-your-own salads with a vast buffet of fresh vegetables, as well as signature salads such as Greek, Chicken Caesar and Santa Fe.
