The restaurant's name originates from its original phone number which repeats the number 73.[5] Pizza 73 was the first delivery chain in Alberta to have a centralized call center,[1] allowing customers to order their meals by phone; Pizza 73 has facilitated orders online since 1995.[1][6] The restaurant has been recognized as one of Canada's 50 best-managed services,[1] and one of Alberta's 50 fastest-growing companies by Alberta Venture.[1]
In 2019 Pizza 73 added vegan options to its menu.[7]
Business model
Pizza 73 built its chain not using the common franchise model, but by opening new locations as joint ventures with the store operators. The company co-owns the locations and splits the profits with the co-owner, rather than making their money on markup of supplying ingredients and services.[8]
