Pizza Nova Recognized with National Franchise Awards, Marking 16 Years of Franchisee Support

Pizza Nova CFA Award Franchisee Choice milestone highlights franchisee trust and performance

Toronto-based pizza chain Pizza Nova has received national recognition from the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA), earning a Bronze Award of Excellence in Franchising and securing its 16th consecutive Franchisees’ Choice Designation.

The awards were presented on April 20, 2026, during the CFA’s 35th annual National Convention held at The Westin in Ottawa, highlighting Pizza Nova’s sustained performance and commitment to franchisee relationships.

Recognition Rooted in Franchisee Feedback

The CFA Awards of Excellence are based on direct feedback from franchise owners, evaluating brands across key operational areas including leadership, training, support systems, and the overall strength of the franchisor-franchisee relationship.

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our franchisees,” said Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “Their trust, partnership, and entrepreneurial spirit have always been central to our success. We are proud to support their growth and continue building together.”

The Franchisees’ Choice Designation, awarded annually, reflects consistent approval from franchise partners and serves as a benchmark for strong collaboration within franchise systems.

Sustained Growth and Industry Standing

Pizza Nova’s 16 consecutive years receiving the Franchisees’ Choice Designation underscores the company’s long-term focus on maintaining strong relationships across its network of more than 150 locations in Ontario.

“Strong franchise systems are built on consistency, shared values and collaboration,” Primucci added. “This recognition reflects the strength of those relationships and the commitment shared across our network.”

The CFA’s national awards program is widely regarded within the franchise industry as a key indicator of operational excellence and system-wide cohesion.

A Milestone for a Canadian Brand

Founded in 1963, Pizza Nova has grown into one of Ontario’s most established pizza franchises, known for its emphasis on quality ingredients and consistent service across its locations.

The latest recognition reinforces the brand’s position within Canada’s competitive franchise sector, particularly as it continues to expand its footprint and partnerships across the province.
